Rachel Chandler

Rachel ChandlerEveryone deserves a happy home.

Let’s partner together to help chaos turn into happiness and healing.

I am a Licensed Professional Art Therapist and Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator who is passionate about working with children, adolescents, and families as they grow to their full potential.

I seek to help others recognize their strengths and find their voice in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

Growing up in Appalachia, I have been surrounded by artisans and rich story-telling for the majority of my life. I have continued to carry this spirit of creativity with me throughout my education and into my career. After graduating from Eastern Kentucky University in 2014, I went on to obtain my Masters of Education in Counseling and Personnel Services with a concentration in Art Therapy from the University of Louisville.

In therapy, I use a variety of expressive therapies depending on client needs including art, play, music, movement, and writing. Since being in the field, I have gained experience in a variety of settings including inpatient psychiatric facilities, schools, foster care agencies, and medical treatment centers. I have also been trained in Level One Trauma-Informed Expressive Arts Therapy.

Knowing how creativity has transformed my own life, I have always been passionate about helping others discover this power for themselves.

I have worked with both children and adults with a variety of challenges including:

  • anxiety,
  • depression,
  • attention deficit disorders,
  • impulse control disorders,
  • trauma-related disorders, including PTSD
  • adjustment difficulties,
  • changes in family dynamics,
  • grief,
  • anger issues,
  • low self-esteem,
  • children with developmental delays and medically complex issues, and
  • the concerns of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I serve clients of different religious beliefs, races, and ethnic backgrounds. I strive to create a safe and affirming environment for all. Through integrating evidence-based expressive techniques, I am able to treat clients with a wide variety of issues. Nonverbal expressive techniques can be beneficial to those that feel intimidated or anxious when verbally expressing themselves and empowers clients throughout their journey of growth and healing.

I know how important it is to find the right therapist to fit your needs, and I look forward to discovering how I can support your family throughout your journey together.
