My passion is working with individuals who have suffered from the consequences of making high-risk decisions. These decisions have resulted in legal, medical, and interpersonal dilemmas. I use a focused, solution-oriented approach designed to explore the context within which these decisions and associated patterns of behavior have become impractical and repetitive. We will explore alternative problem-solving approaches that incorporate mindfulness, paradox, metaphor, and contingency management. My background involves working with individuals/couples/families in crisis.
I have extensive experience working with alcohol and drug abuse, and individuals with co-occurring mental health and psychiatric issues. My experience of long-term recovery in my own life informs my practice.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Henry Palmer III (Chip). We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
The group sessions are difficult and not always applicable

I have been seeing Chip Palmer for the last couple months, and I could not be happier with my experience! Chip is so easy to talk with, and I was able to open up to him about things I've never shared with anyone. He put me at ease from the very first session. I know he has a lot of patients, but it was evident that he had thought about my specific issues and reviewed notes from our previous sessions in preparation for each visit. He did research and shared some resources that he found specifically for my issue. If you're on the fence about therapy, please do yourself a favor and just do it. You couldn't find a better therapist if you tried. Chip is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, curious, and friendly. He makes you feel like you're talking with a friend, who just happens to be able to help you work through your issues.

Chip will listen carefully and then tell you how it is, without an ounce of judgement. Couldnt recommend him more.
