Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Chris Arger
Psychologist, PhD
I take a compassionate non-judgmental approach to therapy, focusing on personalization and helping you find a sense of vitality in your life. When tailoring therapy to your individual needs, I begin by learning about your unique story and understanding your circumstances—emotional, physical, and relational factors. I might use a combination of approaches, depending on your preferences and goals. This integrative approach may draw from various schools of thought—cognitive behavioral, experiential, mindfulness, etc.

Brie Chandler
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
You may be feeling lost, anxious, and don't know why everything that used to work to feel better isn't now. Maybe it feels like your relationships are suffering, like you've never even had a healthy one, or could never share your desires with your partner or partners. Every little thing added to your plate feels so overwhelming and it might be easier just to shut down or hide parts of yourself. You might worry you're "too much" or feel like you can't do anything right. At a young age you may have realized it felt safer to hide it all away and never stopped. You tell yourself "no one could ever understand or accept me, or "everyone has childhood stuff, I'm fine," ...right? One thing you’re sure of is you want to feel better, safe, and like you have direction. You’re ready to have quality relationships and leave behind old patterns. Most of all, you’re ready to feel good enough and embrace all parts of your identity.

Dr. Angelia Corley
Psychologist, PhD
I’m Dr. Angelia Corley, a licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to helping people who are struggling with sleep problems, anxiety, and the challenges of chronic health conditions. When worry keeps you up at night or your body feels like it’s working against you, life can quickly become overwhelming. I work with clients to find effective, practical strategies that reduce that sense of struggle and help them feel more rested, grounded, and able to focus on what’s meaningful in their lives.
My approach draws on evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness practices. These methods can help you notice unhelpful patterns, understand yourself in new ways, and make choices that better support your well-being.
Clients often describe me as warm, collaborative, and genuinely supportive. I want therapy to be a place where you feel understood and empowered to make lasting change.
Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process. To make it easier, I offer a free 15-minute consultation call so you can get a sense of what working together might feel like. Visit https://restwelltherapy.sessionshealth.com/ and select "I'm a new client" to schedule a time for us to talk.

Elka Cubacub
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi there, and congratulations on taking the first step toward reaching out for help. Finding the right therapist can be hard, but I’ve learned it often comes down to two things: personality and treatment approach. I'll describe what these are for me in an effort to help clarify whether I might be the therapist for you. By nature, I’m calm, compassionate, and intellectually-driven. I like to understand what we do and why, and bring this intentionality to my work as a therapist. I’ve worked across higher levels of care with people navigating eating disorders, substance use, depression, anxiety, and psychosis. I feel humbled by the stories that are shared with me and promise not to judge. In my experience, talking alone isn’t always enough, so I use evidence-based, embodied approaches that help you access what’s beneath the surface and shift what keeps you stuck. My goal is to help you reconnect with the full range of human emotions so you can feel more fully alive and move toward what’s meaningful to you.
