MEET DR. CHRIS PARRISH

Dr. Parrish is the Clinical Director of the Mindful Living Centre. He works in the Burlington clinic, offers virtual sessions and has special interests in helping with:

I believe that clients deserve to be heard and understood as individuals, and that treatment should be flexibly tailored to meet their needs and goals. Rather than adopting a “one size fits all” approach to therapy, clients who choose to work with me will find that I create a highly collaborative therapeutic environment where they can learn customized strategies for addressing life’s challenges, promoting personal growth, and enhancing well-being. 

I enjoy working with adults, couples and adolescents looking for guidance and support with their goals. I view therapy as a means of helping clients build on their existing strengths while discovering new tools and resources that promote increased self-awareness, improved coping and enhanced quality of life.

When working with me, the initial sessions will be used to develop a shared understanding of  the challenges you want to address and collaboratively set treatment goals.  We will then use a combination of research-supported methods such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness to help you achieve your goals!

I am a founding and accredited member of the Canadian Association of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies (CACBT), and I am also a member of the Canadian Psychological Association, the Ontario Psychological Association, and the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies. 

Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active through exercise and outdoor pursuits such as golf, watersports, hiking, and skiing, and relaxing through reading, music and guitar.
