    About Me

    I'm Chanda, a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to transforming lives through compassionate, evidence-based therapy. With a strong foundation in psychology and specialized training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I have made it my mission to guide individuals through the complexities of anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and the intricate dynamics of family and relationships.
    I firmly believe that each person possesses an untapped reservoir of strength, ready to overcome any challenge. My role as a therapist is to help unlock that potential within you. My approach is holistic, personalized, and ever-evolving. I integrate techniques from CBT, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness to create a therapeutic experience that goes beyond addressing symptoms—focusing instead on the root causes of your concerns.
    In my sessions, you'll find a safe and supportive space where self-expression is encouraged, thoughts and emotions are explored, and strategies are developed to align with your unique life experiences. Taking the step into therapy is an act of courage—a commitment to wellness and self-discovery. Whether you're facing immediate challenges or seeking deeper understanding and growth, I am here to support you on your journey.
    Together, we will uncover your strengths, navigate obstacles, and build a personalized toolbox of strategies to help you manage life's twists and turns. I look forward to meeting you, hearing your story, and walking alongside you on the path to a brighter, more resilient future.
    Let’s embark on this journey together!
