Dr. Christopher Wenner

Welcome! I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist available for Telehealth and a safe space for everyone in Arizona. My therapeutic focus is working closely with you to overcome your psychological pain, become stronger and build mental resilience. We will team up to substantially ease your distress and maybe make it go away completely. The focus of my role within our two-person team is to teach you skills and strategies to learn how to self-regulate your emotions. Within this, I will help you process this experience of re-connecting with your mind and body and place in the world. If you have anxiety or panic, fears or phobias, depression or social isolation, ADHD, OCD, trauma or PTSD, sleep problems, or common difficulties we all run into throughout life, I just might be the therapist for you.

I am certified in one of the most up-to-date methods of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This approach integrates elements from other well-established therapies such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness practices. With each client I emphasize flexibility and warmth (and humor!) to build a strong therapeutic connection.

Our first session is a chance for you to slow down and share what’s been happening and what brings you to therapy. You can share as much or as little as you like about what’s been painful, what’s working, and what you’d like to change. I’ll ask some questions to get to know your history and challenges, and together we’ll start exploring practical tools for relief and building resilience.

I’ll also share how I approach therapy and we’ll discuss what kind of structure and pace is best for you. My goal is that by the end of our first session, you’ll feel understood, supported, and have a clear sense of next steps.

Therapy works best as a collaborative effort, and that starts with the first session. You can expect warmth curiosity, and humor, with a focus on solving problems for sustainable change.
