This constant anxiety, followed by crippling bouts of depression, is preventing you from living your life. Even on good days, your negative self-talk beats you into a sleepy paralysis. Everyone can be hard on themselves, but your mind has become downright violent. It’s exhausting trying to anticipate when it will strike next. You can’t trust your own thoughts. It’s obvious that your painful past isn’t going away on its own. It takes all you’ve got to get through the day. And most days it takes more than that. Stuck in a vicious cycle with no end in sight, you know you can’t handle this alone anymore. But what choice do you have?

Life is not a straight road. It is sometimes smooth, sometimes rough, and hazardous more than we might wish it to be. It is at these times that we seek guidance, a helping hand to navigate the journey. As a Licensed Masters Level Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in human services and over 10 years of clinical experience, as well as a mother of three who has navigated many of my own bumps along the way, I would be honored to be such a guide. A nurturer by nature, I offer a modern approach to mental health caregiving that blends mind-body practices like yoga and mindfulness with evidence-based treatment models.

Chad B. Cubberly received his Master of Social Work degree from Eastern Michigan University with a Concentration in Mental Health and Chemical Dependency. Chad believes that talking with a therapist or counselor can help you deal with thoughts, behaviors, symptoms, stresses, goals, past experiences and other areas that can promote your recovery. Chad understands that talking with a therapist about personal issues can be difficult but knows it can help people to address problems they may be experiencing in their lives. It can also offer an emotional release and a sense of really being heard, understood and supported.

This is what you thought therapy was supposed to be like. I have nearly 30 years’ experience in dozens of settings and several states, but your story will always be unique to me. I specialize in child/parent relationships, anxiety and depression, substance abuse, trauma work, self harm behaviors, and I have training in CBT and DBT. More recently, I was fully trained in EMDR, and am a Level 2 EMDR practitioner, and am working toward full certification. I have already seen the significant impact that EMDR can have for so many of my clients.

I believe the space held between therapist and client is sacred. It is a privilege and honor to be invited to take part in the journey of another person’s life - to witness their challenges and joys. I believe that you are more than your trauma or diagnosis. My goal is to be a therapeutic partner in helping you foster your strength and resilience. Together we will explore what you need to manage uncomfortable feelings, identify behaviors you want to change and integrate healthy ways of coping into the rhythm of your life. I believe in you.
