History
I have been seeing clients for seven years in the San Francisco Bay area, both as an intern and as a licensed therapist. I became licensed in 2014 and In 2015 I opened my own private practice in Livermore. I have recently moved my private practice and life to the San Luis Obispo Area and look forward to serving individuals and couples in my new community.
Specialties
As a marriage and family therapist I work with couples and individuals, ranging from teenagers, college students and business professionals to seniors. My specialties include anxiety, relationship stress, depression, aging, overwhelm and frustration, loss, divorce, trauma, addiction concerns, personal growth and development. My client population also include people with the highly sensitive personality trait (sensory process sensitivity). I encourage self reflection, to develop self awareness, self compassion and personal development. In addition to talk therapy I also use a variety of modalities such as EMDR (an evidenced based approach to treat trauma) and somatic experiencing. The approach I use is tailored to your needs and presenting concern. Call me for a complementary 15 minute phone consultation at 805 387 3569 Helen Chadd LMFT #84350
