Dr. Chantée
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
About Me
Dr. Chantée is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 51569) practicing for fourteen years. She holds a Master of Arts Degree in Counseling Psychology, a Master’s Degree in Public Administration and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. As a result of her diverse training working in community mental health centers, federally qualified health centers, schools, non-profit organizations and community based organizations, she has had the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients and presenting issues. Dr. Chantée has expertise in family systems, coupledom issues, and the integration of spiritual and cultural issues in therapy. Dr. Chantée works from a trauma informed perspective and has additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment, Regulation and Competency, Trauma Informed Care and Imago Therapy.
Her therapeutic stance is informed by Intersubjectivity Theory and thus, the belief that there is an intersubjective field that is a system of reciprocal mutual influence. In short, there is a psychological field created by interacting worlds of experience. Our relationships and our interactions greatly influence and impact our worlds. She is also significantly impacted by the Humanistic-Existential school of psychology that encourages us to delve into the “four ultimate concerns”: death, freedom, isolation and meaninglessness and to explore our need to deeply connect with others, to be truly seen and to create meaning in our lives. It is her hope that the therapeutic relationship will offer an opportunity to explore feelings, issues, life complexities and triumphs in a safe environment, where revelation, healing and transformation can take place.
