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. 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.

Jake Schott
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
With five years of clinical experience, I help teens, adults, and families who feel stuck under the weight of trauma, addiction, ADHD, or life transitions. You don’t have to face these challenges alone. Together we’ll slow down, explore what’s happening, and build practical tools that help you feel more balanced, empowered, and in control of your path forward. You deserve a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions—to be seen, heard, and understood as you take the steps toward the life you envision.
I’m here to help! I have had clients in the past tell me about how better they feel once they start therapy. I specialize in supporting mood disorders, trauma, life transitions, addiction, and more. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and work toward meaningful, lasting change tailored to your needs.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but it’s also a meaningful one. My goal is to provide a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow. You don’t have to figure everything out on your own—we can navigate this journey together, at your pace. Let’s begin the work toward the life you want and deserve.

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.

Grace Judd
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LAMFT
If you’ve found your way here, odds are something in your world might feel tangled, heavy, or out of alignment. It could be that the pain of the past is having a hard time staying in the past. Maybe patterns in your relationships keep repeating, leaving you feeling disconnected from the people you love, or from yourself. Perhaps your child or teen is struggling to cope, your family feels stretched thin, or your partnership is caught in cycles of conflict, distance, or misunderstanding.
Whatever brought you here, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place to begin rewoven healing. In our work together, you’ll find a space where your nervous system can exhale—where we can slow down, untangle patterns, heal emotional injuries, and strengthen the threads that create secure, meaningful relationships.
I work with kids, teens, adults, couples, and families, supporting those who feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, burnt out, anxious, triggered, or stuck in old wounds. I offer support, clarity, compassion, and practical tools to help you navigate what feels hard, whether that’s managing big emotions, recovering from trauma, rebuilding connection, or learning new ways of relating to yourself and others.
I currently have availability for in-person and online sessions and would love to connect to see if working together feels like the right fit for your journey.
