A unique and personalized treatment approach
As providers, we are totally focused on who our client is and their life experience. Most importantly, we listen to why they decided to seek therapy. Our approach is to listen intently to each individual's story, and then to construct a picture of their life that captures their feelings, thoughts and behaviors.
It is important that clients understand the difference between what they can change and what they can't. When it has been identified what they need to change within their daily experience, therapy then focuses on teaching strategies and skills that will bring greater effectiveness.
If you are troubled by any of these concerns, you might want to think about consulting with a psychologist. People live life to be "ALIVE"... to be fully energized, satisfied and happy! However, times and circumstances may bring pain and hurt. Some know why... and are able to correct the problem. Others may know the problem but are unable to make proper adjustments. Still others are confused and overwhelmed and seek direction and the skills and tools to enable them to return to living that full and meaningful life. Therapy not only examines each client's inward journey (our thoughts and feelings) but also their outward journey (social interactions) and how these inward and outward experiences are intricately interwoven into complimentary outcomes. Naturally, immediate problem solving is an important objective of therapy, but insight, long term personal skill building and thinking tool enhancement are also essential steps towards a return to that fulfilling life experience and successful future.
Why consider therapy?

What to expect
When clients come to our team of counselors for psychotherapy, they are seeking a psychologist who has the skills, the tools and the road map that can return them to a life of hope, confidence and energy.
People who want help expect results. They seek a clear explanation of the problem, a sensible course of treatment from a professional, educated psychologist that steers them towards an expected outcome that can improve and enhance their life. At Livingston Psychological Services, treatment begins with the gathering of background and historical information. In addition, should a psychological test be recommended, those results are combined with a thorough interview that will contribute to defining the nature of the problem and the outline further steps toward therapeutic achievements.

My husband & I have been seeing Hampton Walker for a couple years now, and it was one of the best decisions we have ever made. He has helped our relationship grow more than ever after we had been struggling while we went thru some tough experiences. Not only has he helped us we also have developed a friendship & we look forward to seeing him every time we go. I 100% recommend Hampton Walker.
Dr Ross is one of the best therapists and would recommend him to anyone looking to obtain the necessary tools to communicate. Ross is very straightforward and doesn't accept "trying" or excuses. His approach works!
I can't say enough about the help that has been given to us by the staff here. We have felt like we're adrift with no idea who to turn to or which way to go for help and often reach dead ends with no return calls. Christy has been amazing with every phone call and having finally found a safe spot with Linda Bressette may very sincerely have saved our sons life! I don't have a lot of nice things to say about the other experiences we've had with social workers and hospital staff, but I can say nothing bad about our time working with Christy and Linda.
Dr. Erich is hands down the best therapist I have had, and that's saying alot! I was a little apprehensive at first, since I've never had a male therapist. I set boundaries right away on things I didn't want to talk about and without hesitation, he agreed to respect my request and wouldn't push me into anything I felt uncomfortable about discussing. I feel like he truly cares about his patients wellbeing. He listens and let's me vent, and asks thought provoking questions in a very respectful way. I recently had a very emotional session, and I was sobbing (like full on ugly crying) and he was very patient, and let me collect my thoughts and didn't try to interpret what I was going to say or interrupt me. He was very empathetic. I have been going to him for almost a year, and honestly, I wish I would have found Erich sooner. He's awesome, you should also see him, you'll thank me later. I promise. I can't leave this review though without telling you how fricking Rockstar amazing Chrisite is. I don't know what this woman makes, but I can 1000% guarantee it's not even remotely close to adequate. My Insurance Co, is being a Doucette about paying my visits and she is all over it! She cares about the patients too! Even the ones she's never even met! This practice is great, and honestly has helped me in so many ways. 🙌 They get ALL the stars. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Everyone here is amazingly kind and lovely. Christie (who is cool AF) welcomes me every time, and always seems cheerful and genuine when she asks how I've been since last time. Jo is by far the best therapist I've ever had--she really cares about people and DBT. She has helped me with a wide variety of things and made sure I never got lost along the way. While I haven't worked with Dr Walker, he's been pleasant and nice to talk to in passing. I highly recommend this wonderful team for anyone looking for a home-like environment to work through any issues they have. Give them a call!
