I recognize how hard change is and you deserve to thrive. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing independently since 2014 and have over 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of who you are becoming, therapy can give a supportive place to make sense of what you’re experiencing and move forward more confidently. I work with adults navigating life transitions in education, career, relationships, family, health and environment, and identity exploration and reinvention and all that comes with learning to adapt. In our work together, you’ll be met warmly through curiosity and acceptance. I’ll help you identify and rewrite self-limiting patterns, build practical self-regulation skills, and develop healthier ways to adapt to change, so you can feel more grounded and empowered.

You have probably been carrying something for a while without saying it out loud: anxiety that will not switch off, grief that still ambushes you, drinking that stopped feeling like a choice, or trauma your body has not put down. Helping people find their way through that feels like my sacred calling. Ever since I was young, I've been the person who deeply listens, and I've always sensed the healing that happens when we finally have a trusted, compassionate witness to our story. The story you carry about your past can be the source of your suffering or the key to your freedom, and together we can gently begin to shift it. Whatever pain you're holding, you don't have to hold it alone. I work with individuals, and with couples and families who want to find their way back to each other.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Arizona


Hi! I’m Camille. Thank you for being here. For more than 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for individuals and families across many different healthcare settings—from emergency nursing and the COVID-19 pandemic response to travel and concierge nursing, Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), and outpatient psychiatry. After years of living and working in major cities, including New York and Los Angeles, I eventually found my way to California’s Sierra Nevada foothills. My own experiences shape the way I connect with people. I’m a mother, a first-generation immigrant, part of a multicultural family, and a member of a rural mountain community. A meaningful part of my work is with high-achieving adults—professionals, executives, graduate students, entrepreneurs, healthcare workers, and others who may appear to be doing well by every external measure while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, burned out, or simply not quite like themselves. I also understand the unique weight that can come with intergenerational expectations, cultural identity, and learning to navigate more than one world at once.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Chandler

Finding addiction therapists in Chandler starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and the mental health concerns that may come with them. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties and training match what you want to work on. Relevant approaches may include motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction-informed care, and coordination with a prescriber when medication management is part of your care team.

Chandler has a mix of local therapy offices and virtual options, which can help you find care that fits your schedule and preferences. Some people prefer in-person sessions close to home, work, or school, while others prefer virtual appointments with a therapist who has more specific addiction experience. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses non-judgmental language, has experience with recovery that can change over time, and supports goals such as reducing use, staying sober, or addressing related stressors.

Therapy in Chandler can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists, review detailed bios, check estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and filter for addiction-related specialties. That makes it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and has availability when you’re ready to book.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
