Therapy for the Moments That Feel Too Big to Hold Alone
On the outside, you may still look capable and composed. Inside, something has changed. Perhaps a frightening, painful, or unexpected experience left you anxious, overwhelmed, or no longer feeling like yourself.
I help adults find relief when a difficult experience, major transition, or sudden change continues to affect how they feel and live.
“I’m passionate about helping people find relief and hope after painful experiences.”
Hi, I’m Chancie.
I work with thoughtful, capable adults who are used to managing life, until something happens that leaves them anxious, overwhelmed, or unlike themselves.
My clients often tell me that I notice the small details that matter: a shift in expression, a physical sensation, or a seemingly minor comment that points toward something important. Together, we slow down enough to understand what is keeping the distress active and find a way forward that feels practical, focused, and deeply personal.
I have advanced training in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders through Postpartum Support International and hold a Master Certification in Accelerated Resolution Therapy. This training allows me to support adults navigating PTSD, anxiety, stress, depression, fears and phobias, chronic pain, medical or birth trauma, stroke-related emotional changes, dyslexia-related anxiety, ADHD-related overwhelm, and other nervous-system-based challenges.
I provide in-person sessions in my Mt. Lebanon office in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, as well as virtual therapy for adults anywhere in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida.
My approach is warm, grounded, and centered on understanding how experiences are stored and triggered — and helping reduce their emotional impact so they no longer interfere with your life.
My clients describe me as steady, practical, and deeply attuned to their goals. Together, we work to help you move past what’s holding you back — so you can live with more ease, purpose, and self-trust.
I work with individuals who want to stop feeling “stuck”, especially those that want to get back on track fast.
My clients include:
First responders, therapists, and caregivers of aging parents
Parents who feel stretched thin and need to regain their emotional balance
Adults navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, or life transitions
Physicians, attorneys, educators, professors, and others under high stress
Athletes and performers managing pressure and setbacks
You’ve worked hard to build a life you’re proud of — but something’s not right.
You might be here because…
You were managing life reasonably well until something changed.
You feel more anxious, reactive, fearful, or emotionally overwhelmed than you used to.
A distressing experience keeps replaying, or your reactions feel larger than the present moment.
Fertility treatment, pregnancy, birth, postpartum life, loss, or another major transition has changed how you feel.
You understand what is happening intellectually, but insight has not brought the relief you expected.
You want focused therapy that helps you feel better—not just keep talking about why you feel bad.
If any of this resonates, you are in the right place.
A focused approach when talking alone has not been enough
You do not have to retell every painful detail or spend months repeatedly revisiting the same experience. My approach combines careful attention, practical therapy, and evidence-informed experiential methods to help distressing memories and emotional reactions feel less immediate and powerful.
Much of our work focuses on:
Reducing emotional reactivity tied to past experiences
Supporting a greater sense of calm, clarity, and self-trust
Helping distressing memories lose their emotional charge
Helping you respond to present life without the past taking over
Healing isn’t about pushing harder or reliving the past — it’s about helping the brain complete what was left unfinished.
Here’s what working together looks like:
