About Craig

Craig Parton integrates training in Somatic Psychology into a respectful, curiosity-driven approach that recognizes how the body and mind influence one another. He creates a supportive environment where every aspect of a person’s experience is welcomed and explored with compassion and clear, direct feedback.

Working together, he helps clients identify unmet needs and take practical steps toward a more empowered life. Sessions often involve gentle inquiry into vulnerable feelings and longstanding wounds that may show up as self-injurious or repetitive patterns, with the aim of shifting those patterns into healthier actions and choices.

Craig is consistently kind, clear, and honest in his work. He asks thoughtful questions to illuminate underlying beliefs and to help clients deepen self-knowledge. He also uses somatically based tools such as mindfulness meditation and increased body awareness to help people notice how they move through daily life and decide how they want to be in relationships and situations.

Therapy with him can address a wide range of concerns - from intimacy and unwanted behaviors to grieving losses that have gone unacknowledged. He strives to co-create a space in which all parts of a person are seen, and he invites curiosity about lived experience as a path toward new insight and meaningful change. LMFT stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

Body-centered and Mindfulness-based Online Care

Craig draws on Somatic Psychology to help clients notice how physical sensations, movement, and tension relate to emotions and behavior. This body-centered approach often helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma reactions, or patterns that repeat in relationships by offering ways to recognize and shift those patterns through awareness of bodily experience.

He also uses mindfulness-based techniques, such as guided meditation and present-moment awareness, to support clients in learning how to observe difficult feelings without becoming overwhelmed. These practices can aid in managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and difficulties with self-regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Craig works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and he adjusts the therapeutic plan as the work unfolds to ensure it remains effective and personally meaningful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life, to maintain continuity during transitions, and to access a licensed professional from different locations when appropriate.
