Dr. Clarence Chapman

Welcome! I’m Dr. Clarence Chapman, a licensed professional clinical counselor, clinical supervisor, and Christian therapist. My approach to counseling is compassionate, practical, and direct. I believe therapy should be a place where you can speak honestly without judgment while also developing tools that help create meaningful change outside of the therapy room.

I work primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, addiction and substance use concerns, pornography or problematic sexual behaviors, men’s issues, anger, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. I am also EMDR trained and enjoy helping clients understand how past experiences can continue to influence their emotions, relationships, and behaviors today.

As a Christian therapist, I welcome clients who want faith, Scripture, and biblical principles incorporated into counseling. Faith integration is always based on the individual client’s preferences and goals.

I am also a U.S. military veteran and value the opportunity to work with veterans and others who may appreciate a therapist who understands aspects of military culture and service.

My current practice is focused on individual counseling, and I am not currently accepting clients for couples counseling. Whether you are trying to heal from the past, overcome an addictive pattern, strengthen relationships, or simply feel more like yourself again, my goal is to help you develop greater understanding, practical skills, and a clear path forward.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based care. I draw from person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approaches, focusing on real conversations, practical tools, and a pace that feels right for you.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported while also being gently challenged toward growth. Together, we will work to better understand the patterns, experiences, and stressors that may be impacting your life, while building healthier coping skills and practical steps toward change.

As a Christian therapist, I am also comfortable incorporating faith, spirituality, biblical principles, and prayer into counseling when that is something you desire. Faith integration is always guided by your comfort level and goals, and it is never forced.

My goal is to help you gain insight, build resilience, strengthen emotional wellness, and move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and hope

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other in a relaxed, supportive, and nonjudgmental way. We will talk about what brought you to therapy, what you are hoping to work on, and any immediate concerns that feel important to address.

There is no pressure to share everything at once. My focus is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and understood while we begin identifying your goals for counseling. We may also talk about your background, current stressors, symptoms, strengths, supports, and what has or has not been helpful for you in the past.

If faith or spirituality is important to you, we can also discuss how you would like that included in therapy. As a Christian therapist, I am comfortable integrating faith, biblical values, prayer, or spiritual reflection when desired, but this is always based on your comfort level and goals.

By the end of the first session, my hope is that you leave with a clearer sense of next steps, what therapy with me may look like, and whether you feel I am a good fit to support you moving forward.
