Psychologist, Founder
I approach therapy from a humanistic and strength-based perspective meaning I believe you are a whole and complete person who is struggling with some aspect of their life. Together, we look to see the lessons or blessings (or both) you have faced while empowering you to live up to your greatness while nurturing your capacity for compassionate self-love. As a clinical psychologist, published author, and presenter, Dr. Chad has been in the field of helping clients for over 15 years. Throughout his varied career, he has worked for Fortune 500 companies, within correctional facilities, and conducted research on relationship satisfaction.

LPCC, Future Doctor
As a licensed professional clinical counselor, my theoretical orientation is an integrative theory. The conceptualization of my clients comes from the cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and existential models with a social justice framework known as cyclical psychodynamic integrative theory.
A key focus of a cyclical psychodynamic approach is to understand the patterns of behaviors, interpersonal relationships and unconscious processes. Cyclical psychodynamic theory is shown to be useful for a variety of diagnoses, cultures and settings for clients. All people face difficulties in their lives that with the support of a counselor, can be managed through interventions, techniques and tools that are uniquely developed to fit you. I promise to provide a genuine, non-judgmental and caring environment. I will support and provide you with the strength and courage you need to work through the process of change, in a comfortable and safe environment. Within therapy, I will help you find a healthier and more adaptable way to utilize tools in your own unique and important process.
