Chandra Sikes

My background began in hospice, geriatrics, and crisis intervention, where I learned the importance of truly listening and understanding the whole person, not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. Today, I work with children, adolescents, and adults, with a special focus on ADHD, trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. I am also an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) with experience in trauma-informed care and veterans’ mental health.

My approach to therapy and medication management is a little different: I want to understand the “why.” Symptoms often tell us that something deeper needs attention, and your experiences, environment, relationships, and history can all provide important pieces of that puzzle.

Together, we’ll look beyond simply managing symptoms to identify patterns, understand what may be driving them, and develop a treatment plan that fits you as an individual. When appropriate, I also offer pharmacogenetic testing to provide additional information that may help guide medication decisions.

I aim for my clients to leave sessions with me feeling empowered. The goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling confident to start the first chapter of healing. I am not the provider to sit back and simply write a prescription, or let you dwell on negative things that will not benefit you tomorrow. I will look at all areas of your life and work closely with you to find solutions. My hope is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care so we can work toward lasting change and, ultimately, a sound mind.
