As a licensed marriage and family therapist I have been working with individuals, couples and families for over 20 years. I've observed that people have what it takes to find the peace and happiness they are looking for. I am confident that, together, we can find the solutions that will work for you.
Hi, I’m Chandler Reed, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I work with adults facing a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, other mood disorders, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and practical, combining medication management and therapy when helpful. I aim to create a calm, judgment-free space where you feel heard and supported.
I provide a non Judgmental, positive environment for all populations I serve. I have a no nonsense, direct approach to therapy.
When contemplating “resiliency,” I am reminded of the wisdom shared by Thich Nhat Hanh in his quote, “No Mud, No Lotus.” This succinctly encapsulates life’s challenges and the accompanying suffering. While we often yearn for happiness devoid of difficulties, I firmly believe that these struggles are indispensable for our overall well-being, akin to the lotus requiring mud to flourish.
My role involves helping clients recognize their potential to bloom into something remarkable, even amidst adversity when the path seems obscured. Through the integration of mindfulness, self-compassion, and trauma-informed methodologies, I facilitate a journey where clients unearth their inherent strengths and resilience, fostering transformative growth from within.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s degree in Social Work and over five years of experience supporting adults ages 18 to 100. I specialize in working with individuals navigating chronic illness, chronic pain, addiction, complex grief, end-of-life concerns, and trauma.
I believe in meeting clients where they are, honoring their unique experiences, needs, and goals. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and non-judgmental, creating a caring and encouraging therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore challenges and develop meaningful coping skills. Through secure telehealth sessions, I work alongside clients to help them build resilience, find balance, and move toward the goals that matter most to them.
You’ve spent years protecting everyone else—your children, your partner, your household, and your career. It’s time to build a life you don’t have to constantly try to escape from. Real strength isn’t enduring a toxic cycle or silently surrendering your happiness; real strength is choosing the blueprint for your next chapter. If you are a dedicated father or mother quietly burning out to keep a fragile family dynamic intact, or a parent enduring the crushing grief of child estrangement, you do not have to carry this heavy isolation alone anymore.
For years, you may have believed that self-sacrifice was the ultimate proof of love. Society tells fathers to suppress their pain and keep producing, while telling mothers to give until they have nothing left. But holding everything together behind closed doors comes at a steep price. You end up feeling like an outsider in your own home, exhausted by the relentless pressure, or operating on autopilot. That persistent weight in your chest isn't a failure—it is your original self reminding you that protecting your family shouldn't require destroying your own mental health.
Clients who work with me quickly realize that I am not a passive therapist who sits in silence and nods. As a published author and clinician, I am a grounded, empathetic, and direct partner who deeply respects your time and intelligence. My practice is built around structured, real-world solutions rather than endless, circular processing. I bring warmth, clinical expertise, and enough practical humor into the room to immediately take the edge off the stress you've been carrying.
By taking this step to reclaim your emotional stability, identity, and personal peace, you aren't being selfish—you are becoming the steady, grounded leader and parent your family actually needs. Reaching out is often the hardest part, but you have already taken the first step. Let's begin rebuilding your peace today.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. As a counselor, I have worked in public schools, adult and youth residential facilities, online counseling, wilderness programs, private practice, and mental health facilities. My areas of expertise include sexual abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, parenting, and leadership. I have presented at many local, state, and national professional conferences and have taught many masters’ level mental health courses for the past 20+ years. Currently, I am the Assistant Program Director and Associate Professor of Counseling at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. Prior to my work in counseling and academia, I served a tour of duty in Germany as an officer in the US Army and then back in America as a bank branch manager. I graduated from Brigham Young University with degrees in Corporate Communications (BA) and Educational Psychology (M.Ed.) and at the University of the Cumberlands (Ph.D.) in Counselor Education and Supervision.
Are you struggling with anxiety, relationship, or addiction issues? I specialize in all three of those. With my 20 years of experience I can help you get the change and relief you are looking for. Most of my clients start to feel better within a couple of sessions. Therapy can be short or long term and I will work with you on a plan that works best for you and your needs. Some of my other experience includes, depression, mood disorders, couples/family issues, major life changes, grief, divorce, domestic violence, parenting, trauma, and adjustments to adult children.
I have been described as a “down to earth” and “real” therapist. I like to believe these are accurate descriptors. I bring a plethora of experience to my therapy room; however, I recognize, acknowledge, and celebrate the client being the expert on their life. I provide a safe environment which allows my clients to be transparent without judgment. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and it is definitely a risk. We need to remember there is no growth without risk!
I am currently accepting new clients. I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly heard, respected, and understood. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, and family conflict. Whatever you’re carrying, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.
