Chandler Collins, LCSW

I am an experienced therapist who is dedicated to helping teens and adults navigate depression, suicidality, substance use disorders and grief.

You may be used to holding everything together, but lately it’s getting harder to do it alone. Maybe you feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or unsure what needs to change. You might be tired of surviving and ready to feel more present and connected. I work with teens and adults navigating depression, grief, trauma, substance use and recovery, and major life transitions. I have particular experience supporting people when mental health and substance use overlap. Together, we can make sense of what you’re carrying and find a path forward that feels meaningful and sustainable.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection. I draw from ACT, DBT, CBT, and motivational interviewing to help you better understand yourself, navigate difficult emotions, and create meaningful change. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you; it’s about discovering what you need to move toward the life you want.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with warmth, curiosity, and without judgment, I’d be honored to connect and see if we’re a good fit.
