Heath Chancey

Sometimes, after years of managing life's challenges, you can find yourself feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. Anxiety may leave you constantly anticipating what could go wrong, depression can make it difficult to find motivation or enjoyment, and past experiences may continue influencing how you see yourself and relate to others. I work with adults and seniors experiencing anxiety, depression, stress management, trauma, and PTSD. These concerns can also overlap with panic, anger, substance use or addiction, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, or the emotional challenges of managing a chronic health condition such as diabetes. With 26 years of experience, I understand that meaningful change takes time, patience, and a willingness to better understand yourself. Therapy can be a place where you feel heard, develop a clearer understanding of what you are experiencing, and begin building healthier ways to navigate life's challenges.

Our work will make room for both the person you are today and the experiences, relationships, thoughts, and patterns that have shaped how you navigate life. We'll explore how anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and PTSD may be affecting your emotional wellbeing, relationships, and ability to feel grounded and in control. I may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you recognize patterns in thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and develop healthier ways of responding, Behavioral Activation to help you reconnect with meaningful activities and rebuild motivation when depression makes it difficult to get started, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to strengthen emotional regulation and develop healthier ways of managing overwhelming feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can help you navigate difficult emotions while staying connected to your values, Exposure and Response Prevention can help you gradually face fears and reduce patterns of avoidance, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy can help you challenge beliefs that may be contributing to emotional distress. Motivational Interviewing can provide space to explore change without pressure, while the Gottman Method can help couples strengthen communication, rebuild connection, and navigate relationship challenges more effectively. Our sessions will be collaborative, practical, and grounded in your individual needs, helping you develop both a deeper understanding of yourself and tools you can carry into everyday life.

You do not need to have everything figured out before we begin. During our first few sessions, we will spend time understanding what brought you to therapy, what has been most difficult lately, and what you hope will feel different in your life or relationships. Together, we will identify goals that feel meaningful and realistic and decide where it makes the most sense to begin. You can expect me to bring experience, thoughtful guidance, and a practical approach while creating a space where you can speak openly without feeling judged. Progress may look like feeling less controlled by anxiety, finding renewed motivation when depression feels heavy, responding to stress with greater confidence, processing past experiences, or developing healthier patterns within your relationships. Whether we are working individually or as a couple, our focus will be on understanding what is getting in the way and finding meaningful ways to move forward. We will continue checking in on your goals and adjusting our work as your needs evolve. When you are ready, you can schedule your first session with me through Headway.
