About Chauncey Chatman

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).

“Definitely a very understanding and patient professional, very attentive and definitely someone I would recommend to anyone!”

“Excellent run don’t walk”

“Great app that gives me therapy in a comfortable setting”

“Although I've had only 4 sessions with Chauncey, I feel like I've known him for a long time. He's the best!!<br /> <br /> Sincerely, Edward”

“Chauncey has been a tremendous help in my understanding of self, patterns and conditioned ways of being. He asks very great questions that really forces you to take inventory and accountability of what’s taking place. I set better boundaries and stay committed to my goals all with the help of his accountability and attention. Very glad to have his support and service.”

“Chauncey hears you out and gives some insight in a way that has no bias. The sessions have been great and I would recommend him for those who are seeking therapy.”

“Very attentive therapist who is providing me with quality service, advice and assistance. Highly recommend Chauncey.”

“Dr. Chatman has been truly incredible. He is always kind and professional. He listens carefully and provides calculated feedback and advice. He has been truly incredible and I would highly recommend him to anybody.”

“Chauncey has been a very effective therapist - listens, and has provided me with a range of insights, and tools.”

“Chauncey is a very kind and attentive therapist, he tries to find a variety of methods which can help your situation and provides lots of support throughout your journey!”

“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”

“Amazing listener great feedback full of knowledge and wisdom I appreciate him truly”

“I have only had one session with Chauncey so an overall review is premature at this time. I do like his demeanor however. Very polite and methodical.”

“He has a human touch !”

“I would highly reccomend Chauncey as a therapist for anyone struggling for anxiety, stress, self-doubt, self-critiscm and to learn better habits to cope/manage with the above. <br /> <br /> Chauncey instantly made me feel comfortable sharing and opening up in our first session. He has a warm and welcoming energy and tone. He intentionally listens and supported me by helping me understand my thoughts patters more clearly and by supporting with actionable habits. He took the time to attach worksheets and supporting resources after our sessions for additional support which I felt went above and beyond and showed his care. <br /> <br /> I appreciated our short time together ! Thank you Chauncey for listening, and providing support and helping me bring awareness to my thought patterns.”
