What’s Good?! I’m Dr. Christopher Watkins
I’m a licensed psychologist based in Philadelphia, and I know firsthand how exhausting it can be to move through a world that wasn’t built for you. If you hold one or more minoritized identities, you may be carrying layers of stress, fear, or self-doubt that others never have to think about. You feel them every day.
This is a space where your experiences are not just acknowledged, but centered.
I offer psychological testing and diagnostic clarification for Autism, ADHD, and related concerns. Many of the people I work with have been overlooked, misdiagnosed, or dismissed in the past. My approach to assessment is thoughtful, affirming, and grounded in respect for your lived experience, not just test scores.
I also provide individual therapy for people who want a place to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and explore their emotions without having to mask, explain, or defend who they are. Together, we focus on building insight and tools that actually fit your life, rather than forcing you to adapt to systems that have repeatedly failed you.
Whether you’re seeking answers, healing, or simply a place where you can show up as yourself, you don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to walk with you.
Therapy and Psychological Testing
with You at the Center
You’ve been navigating systems that weren’t designed with you in mind, and that takes a real toll. Maybe you’re tired of feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or like you have to educate others before you can even begin to get support.
Here, you don’t have to explain the basics.
I provide therapy and psychological assessment rooted in cultural awareness, neurodiversity-affirming practice, and genuine respect for your lived experience. This work is collaborative, unrushed, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life.
Whether you’re exploring identity, working through anxiety, burnout, or trauma, or seeking clarity through an autism or ADHD evaluation, I offer support without judgment, without assumptions, and without pressure to fit a mold that was never meant for you.
What I Offer:
Individual Therapy
Therapy for adults and teens who want space to explore healing on their own terms. I work especially with people who are Black, neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, or otherwise navigating systemic oppression, identity stress, or chronic misunderstanding.
Online Psychological Testing
Clear, affirming evaluations for Autism, ADHD, and other diagnostic questions. Especially helpful for folks who may have been overlooked or misdiagnosed in the past.
You deserve a space that sees the whole you, not just your symptoms.
Let’s start there.
