About

Hello! My name is Eric Gardner, and I am a clinical psychologist offering online psychotherapy or counseling services with Path. In my professional experience, the secret to successful therapy is the “Therapeutic Alliance”–a professional relationship in which a therapist and a patient work together toward treatment goals sufficient to engender trust and active participation in the overall treatment process. So, the good news is that Therapy does work–it can produce patient outcomes, such as symptoms abatement, renewed clarity and perspective, and new skills that improve performance and functioning in relationships and academic/occupational settings. The bad news is that in order to achieve those outcomes, we must learn to separate memories from emotions; to wit, only through discomfort and pain will we find the healing path.
