Christopher C. Bradshaw

Dr. Bradshaw offers compassionate, one-on-one telehealth therapy (live video/audio) throughout Arizona, drawing on 15 years’ experience in the mental health field and 8 years experience working in clinical roles with individuals as they search to overcome barriers and live a satisfying life. Discover a safe, confidential space to explore your needs, develop your strengths, and unlock more of your potential. Dr. Bradshaw plans to open a physical location in Tucson, AZ for in-person meeting in 2025. His practice is named Fully Human Psychology (FHP).

FHP is a therapy practice aiming to serve your search for healing, purpose, and freedom. FHP is rooted in existential, humanistic, and somatic approaches to psychology and healing. These approaches are considered depth-oriented, experiential, and relational. Please see Dr. Bradshaw's website, https://www.fullyhumanpsychology.com, for more information.

Dr. Bradshaw’s approach is flexible (within limits), focusing on meeting you where you live and move. In addition to his primary approaches, he may mindfully and thoughtfully employ various techniques from other approaches to help you reach your goals, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), personality assessment.

He prioritizes a strong therapeutic relationship. The “Common Factors” research in psychotherapy indicates that there are factors common to all forms of psychotherapy that likely explain more about why therapy works than the specific unique techniques of each approach to therapy. That is, while specific techniques are important, this sophisticated and abundant research shows that, at the end of the day, the common factors are most important.

Dr. Bradshaw is well studied, experientially trained, and is actively mentored in these common factors. Please see the second image to the left for a depiction of these common factors. Dr. Bradshaw has placed “presence” as central to these factors. Presence as central to the common factors is a theory proposed by Dr. Kirk Schneider, Dr. Shari Geller, and by Dr. Bradshaw. The common factors include: the therapeutic relationship, empathy, collaboration, creating meaning & hope, setting expectations, and repairing ruptures to the relationship. The last one means that if there is a tension, disagreement, or problem between therapist and client the therapist will work to help this issue be repaired in a way that actually helps the client heal.

Dr. Bradshaw will follow your lead and will work to assess if you need other services.

Note: Dr. Bradshaw is committed to helping individuals reach their unique goals at a pace that works for each individual client. This website does not make any promises regarding the speed at which individuals will achieve what they are after.
