Heyyyyy there! I’m Chandler. I’m a therapist. I’m a big fan of sarcasm, the F word, and my animals.
I have extensive training in treating trauma, and am a Certified Trauma Practitioner. I have a few different certifications and trainings in trauma treatments, but EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy) is my fav so far.
Along with EMDR, I like to sprinkle in some Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
(WTF ARE THOSE? - I got you! Check out my Blog for more info on the types of therapies AKA alphabet soups I enjoy using.)
Chandler obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Child Development and Family Relations, Bachelor of Social Work, and Master of Social Work with a graduate certificate in Substance Abuse Counseling at East Carolina University, in Greenville, North Carolina. After graduating, Chandler obtained specialized training in clinical social work, trauma treatment, and substance abuse treatment.
Before opening her private practice, Chandler built her experience and expertise in a variety of settings. Chandler worked with children, adolescents, adults, families and communities as an intensive in-home therapist, community outpatient therapist and school-based therapist in Greenville, Jacksonville, and Morehead City, NC. She then worked as an Assistant Clinical Director for an inpatient psychiatric hospital in the New Hanover County area serving children, adolescents, and adults with severe and persistent mental health concerns.
Chandler’s therapeutic style can best be described as warm and validating, while also down to earth and spiced up with a hint of sarcastic humor. She believes therapy should be a beneficial experience, and wants you to leave each session feeling heard, understood, and with tips and tricks you can use that day to bring relief to what you’re struggling with, and maybe even a relevant meme or two.
Chandler specializes in treating trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, life transitions and adjustments, women who wear many hats, medical and mental health professionals, and college students/millenials struggling with the tasks of “adulting”.
As an Eastern NC native, Chandler has a deep love for all things North Carolina, and has decided to make the mountains her home after several amazing years living on the coast. As long as she has a body of water and the beautiful NC outdoors around her, she’s a happy camper.
When she isn’t engaging her clients in therapy, she enjoys spending as much time as she can with friends, family and her fur babies. She can usually be found kayaking in the Intercoastal or hitting the beach when she’s at the coast, or hiking and waterfall hunting when she’s in the mountains. No matter where she is, she loves doing yoga, reading a good book in her favorite chair, or baking something to satisfy her sweet tooth. Chandler is an avid music lover, and enjoys scoping out local concerts and playing her violin. She enjoys traveling, and has a long bucket list of places she wants to visit once air travel resumes. She loves to hear your travel stories as well!
