MEET CHADLEY

 

THERAPY FOR OCD, anxiety, and childhood trauma

I’m so glad you’re here. I believe healing is always possible, no matter how long you’ve been stuck, disconnected and in pain. My approach is rooted in bottom-up therapies that help us finally get to the root, experience true healing from our trauma, and regulate our nervous systems after spending years in fight or flight. I use the words “us” and “our” because I’m in this with you and continue to experience my own parallel process in therapy right alongside you. Our brains are biologically wired to heal. Through tending to the parts of you that are stuck in survival mode as a result of the past, we can re-wire your brain, connect to your truest self, and help you embrace a life and relationships that are fully authentic to you.

I know that reaching out for support can feel really challenging.

Our society places so much value on independence and self-efficiency. These messages are exhausting, make it feel extra vulnerable to reach out for support, and give us the false idea that we’re supposed to be in this by ourselves. We’re not, and it says a lot that you know you deserve better, even if that knowledge lies deep, deep down underneath the experiences that have told you otherwise for so long.

I’ve been there, and my own experiences of discovering that I deserved better- that we all collectively deserve better- have greatly influenced my journey as a therapist. I believe so passionately that our greatest avenues for healing lie in human connection and affirmation of our strengths, not ‘fixing’ or diagnosing. I’ve experienced both sides of this coin on my own journey in therapy and tap into these experiences, both the harmful and the transformative, to inform my work with clients. I know that when therapy simply seeks to ‘fix’, it can often feel distant and clinical, maybe even mimicking some of the painful relationship dynamics that led us to the office in the first place. I’m passionate about shifting this narrative. By showing up with curiosity, compassion, and as my authentic and sometimes messy self, we can create a connection that truly honors your story and builds a strong foundation for healing to take place.

alongside my work as a therapist,

I oversee the business and clinical operations at CZTG, provide clinical supervision to pre-licensed and licensed clinicians, and offer business consultation to other therapists in private practice. Previously, I’ve served as a faculty professor for a trauma therapy course and have held advocacy positions within the child welfare system and anti-human trafficking movements. While my heart lies in the one-on-one interactions I have with clients in the therapy room, I also an entrepreneur to my core and am deeply passionate about the business side of owning and running a private therapy practice.


outside of the office,

I can often be spotted snuggled up with my three dogs, Evie, Benson, and Gigi eating a bowl of pasta and watching a good documentary. I’m a lover of long walks, a first-generation college student, and I have far too many plants for one person - you can find an entire room in my home (aka the plant room) dedicated to growing and propagating rare plants.

 
 
 
 

It’s so important to me to show up with vulnerability and authenticity with my clients.

Education + Training

 

Education

Masters in Social Work (MSW) in Clinical Mental Health, University of Denver; Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado. My social work background influences the broad lens through which I view the world and my clients’ experiences. I recognize the intersections of power, oppression, and privilege in my work as a therapist and am passionate about advocating for issues of social justice. I believe that we all hold the inner-strengths and resilience necessary for healing and growth and honor my clients’ right to determine their own life paths.

Education

Marriage and Family Therapy Post Graduate Training, Denver Family Institute; Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate (MFTC).

The two years of training I received at Denver Family Institute, including live supervision of my work with clients and intensive coursework in systemic and relational therapy, has played an integral part in shaping the way I show up as a therapist. I utilize therapeutic modalities that look at the individual person alongside their environment, relationships, and social locations to holistically approach my work with both individuals and relationships.

I previously served as a faculty professor at DFI and taught their trauma therapy course.

Ongoing Supervision, Consultation + Training  

I hold a Masters in Social Work in Clinical Mental Health (MSW) from the University of Denver and a two year post graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Denver Family Institute. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate (MFTC) in Colorado.

I currently participate in ongoing professional consultation in AEDP therapy and am working towards full certification as an AEDP therapist.

I believe that ongoing supervision is a crucial part of being an ethical and effective therapist. I’m fully transparent about the fact that I don’t work in silos and that I don’t always have the answers- this will be true no matter how long I work in the field. While maintaining confidentiality, I work consistently with licensed supervisors and peer consultation groups to make sure that I’m doing my best work with clients. I also engage regularly in various training opportunities to continue bringing fresh and effective skills to the session room.     

While a therapist’s training and education are important pieces to consider when searching for a therapist, there’s so much more that goes into creating a strong and connected therapeutic relationship. You deserve to find your best fit therapist and I’m committed to supporting you in this process! Explore my values page to learn more about what it’s like to sit in session with me.
