Great to meet you!

Great to meet you! I’m Abel Chánes, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Arizona and Hawaii. With over 12 years of experience in behavioral health, I specialize in supporting men, men of color, and fathers to share their unique challenges and strengths. While I also have extensive experience working with children, families, adults, veterans, and marginalized groups, my primary focus is creating an empowering space for men. I’m here to work alongside you to help you achieve the exact outcomes and goals you are striving for in your life.

My approach to therapy

Rooted in Solution Focused Brief Therapy, my approach is highly collaborative. We are a team, tapping into your resilience and past successes to overcome today's obstacles. Therapy shouldn’t be a taboo thing—it’s an approachable, practical tool you can utilize to take back control of your life. Together, we'll shift focus to your desired outcomes.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect to be heard, validated, and empowered. We’ll focus immediately on your strengths to overcome your current problems. My goal is to shift the spotlight squarely onto the positive outcomes you want to achieve. Ready to take the first step toward taking your life back? Schedule a session with me today!
