Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
About Chauncey
I have over 15 years of experience providing therapy services to adolescents, couples, families and adults. My approach is a combination of collaborative talk therapy with a strong emphasis on mindfulness practices that foster self-awareness and behavior modification that result in more positive outcomes. My approach: My approach also includes active use of the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused therapy. I currently work with individual adult clients.
I have worked as a School Counselor/Case Manager and Marriage and Family Therapist in various hospital and mental health clinic treatment settings in California to include work as a member of mental health treatment service teams that included psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, peer counselors and family service workers. I earned a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Chapman University. I am licensed in the State of California as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I also hold certification as a Substance Use Disorder Certified Counselor (SUDCC).

- “Chauncey is a a great person, super welcoming and helpful. He gave me the push I needed to leave anxiety and unproductivity behind. He showed me how much I'm worth and teached me how to stand up for myself, because if you don't do it, no one else will. I learned how to be present and keep calm when undesired and annoying thoughts arise. I learnt how to keep going even though I do not want because our performance and who we are or want to be should not depend on our mood but ourselves and our willingness to succeed. Because we are capable of much more than we firstly think, our boundaries are far more away and we should always push them even further. We should not worry about things that are over our control and instead focus that energy in things that are under our control and be present over them. Every day is a battle with onselve in order to be the our best version, it's on us. <br /> I'll be eternally grateful Chaunchey, thank you very much”
