About Me
Christopher T. Tucker, LPC, CADC III
As a licensed therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families in individual and group therapy settings within the Portland metropolitan area. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals from various cultures, backgrounds and lifestyle orientations.
To ensure the highest standard of care in my practice, and to comply with the requirements set forth by the Oregon State Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists and the National Board of Certified Counselors Code of Ethics, I participate in ongoing clinical supervision, consultation and continuing education.

Therapeutic Orientation
My main therapeutic orientation is a mindfulness-based, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral therapy, with a strong emphasis on the use of metaphor and imagery in challenging maladaptive models of oneself developed from insecure attachment bonds in childhood with the utilization of schema therapy.

Experience
I earned my Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology at Pacific University and earned my Bachelors Degree from the University of Oregon. To prepare for work in the field of counseling, I have passed the National Board of Certified Counselors examination and was officially licensed in 2009.
I have over 18 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of therapy settings, including residential treatment, outpatient/inpatient mental health treatment in psychiatric hospitals, group home administration of chronically mentally ill adults, case management, school counseling, work with court mandated clients (in drug and alcohol as well as sex-offender programs), and I have had the opportunity to be the head coordinator of various University research programs. I have maintained a private practice since 2007.
Outside of my private practice, I currently work in a hospital intensive care unit, providing inpatient psychiatric care to severely disturbed mental health patients and people in acute crisis, as well as maintain a individual meditative practice.
