Find a Therapist in United States

Do you feel seen? Do you feel heard? Do you feel you matter? Those are the ingredients that build connection. And connection is vitally important for our happiness. However, so often today that's exactly what we find is missing. And life can hand us things we don't know how to deal with. I'd love to work with you to help you build strategies that build connection between yourself and those you care about. I’m deeply moved by the work people do for repair and healing. Share your story with me. I will listen without judgment and with compassion for your struggle.  

I help people create more balance in their lives by learning when to pause, be present, and step out of the constant pressure of “what’s next.” Many individuals find themselves shaped by old patterns or past experiences that make it hard to move forward. My approach focuses on helping you ride the waves of life with greater resilience—navigating the unpredictable storms rather than feeling anchored in them. While we can’t prepare for every unexpected moment, we can build the tools and skills to manage whatever comes our way. Tides shift, storms pass, and calmer waters are possible. I don’t believe in a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. I tailor treatment to your preferences, goals, schedule, and life circumstances. I also offer structured, evidence‑based therapies when a more guided path is helpful. With over 15 years of experience supporting individuals with a wide range of concerns, I bring both flexibility and clinical depth to the work we do together. For more information, please visit my website. You’ll find a secure, private patient portal with built‑in video sessions, scheduling, communication, and payment options—all in one encrypted, easy‑to‑use platform, including a mobile app for added convenience.  

I am a trauma‑informed therapist with advanced training in sexology who helps adults heal how trauma, culture, and identity shape their relationships, bodies, and sex lives. I work especially well with clients who “hold it all together” for everyone else while feeling anxious, shut down, or disconnected inside. In our work, we make room for the parts of you that have had to stay small or silent around desire, boundaries, faith, family, or reproductive experiences so you can move from survival mode toward more safety, choice, and aliveness in your own life.  

At LiveConscious, helping clients prevent and reduce burn outs from work and relationships are one of the main goals in addition to improving mental health. The common issues clients seek therapy for are stresses from familial dynamics, intimate relational patterns, and work, with or without some sort of mental health symptoms. As a licensed therapist in Marriage and Family Therapy, experienced with clients with various conditions for both children and adults. LiveConscious clinicians help clients navigate their main concerns by providing education around the topic, exploring creative solutions to problems, and guiding you to arrive at the sound solutions or to learn necessary coping skills to better manage your stressors or mood symptoms. The holistic view of the problem and care are the foundational practice at LiveConscious. A side note, you cannot meditate away all your life problems, especially for those tough or chronic issues. It can be misleading that there are people out there as if teaching a meditation technique alone will fix all your life issues. It's a false advertisement as if learning a trick, such as a meditation technique, will prevent or improve your core issues. Individually tailored therapy treatment at LiveConscious is such a comprehensive and deeper level of transformation that deals with aspects that such learning some meditative technique alone cannot fix/improve. Sometimes it can take years to just find the right Dr. or treatment for your illness. Personally, I had experienced an illness that took 8 years just to get a proper diagnosis to my sickness in health to find the right Dr. who can properly screen and provide you with the treatment that works for your symptoms. Mental health also often I heard from people that took a lifelong to find someone who can help with their symptoms/illness. If you notice mental health symptoms, it's a sign that requires medical attention. The sooner you start, it will be benefitical for you. Hope you find the right treatment Provider who can assist you to get better sooner than later!  

People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what they’re even feeling. You might know something isn’t right, but not yet have the words for it, or you may feel pulled in different directions, unsure which part of you to trust. In our work together, we slow things down and make space for what’s happening beneath the surface. Rather than rushing toward solutions, I help you understand your emotional world in a way that feels clear, grounded, and meaningful. My approach is collaborative and deeply relational. We pay attention not just to what you’re going through, but to how you experience yourself and others in those moments. Many clients find that they begin to feel more organized internally: emotions that once felt confusing or overwhelming start to make sense. You may notice greater self-compassion, more confidence in your decisions, and a stronger sense of who you are and what you need. I bring an attachment-informed, evidence-based approach to therapy, drawing on models such as Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). I work to stay closely attuned to you as an individual, moving at your pace as we explore your history, your relationships, and how they’re shaping your experience right now. Therapy with me is not about fixing you, but about helping you understand yourself more fully and respond to your life with greater clarity and intention. Above all, I aim to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, respected, and supported—where nothing important about your experience has to be minimized, rushed, or handled alone.  

I became a therapist because I needed one. I lost my mom when I was 18, and in the years that followed I struggled with anxiety and depression and reached for whatever would take the edge off. When I finally sat down with a therapist, it changed my life. Not because it fixed everything right away, but because for the first time I had a space to say the things I had never said out loud. As a gay man, I know what it is like to carry parts of yourself quietly for longer than you should have had to. That lived experience shapes how I show up in the room. Affirming care is not something I do. It is something I live.  

Hello! Client's seeking therapy with me are met with dignity, warmth, attunement and deep care for their stories. I have a strong foundation in community mental health and ongoing work as a solo practitioner in private practice. I have also lived with a chronic illness for more than twenty years, a journey that has deeply shaped how I understand self-care, resilience, and what it means to show up for oneself—even in the presence of ongoing pain and discomfort. I understand how pain--both physical and emotional--can shape our inner worlds and influence how we move through our lives, sometimes leaving us feeling stuck in patterns that no longer reflect our values or our visions for the future. I love supporting people who are navigating similar terrain—whether that includes chronic illness or chronic pain, substance use and harm reduction, a complicated relationship to food and body, or experiences of anxiety, loneliness, depression, and a broader sense of dis-ease—offering a space for reflection, compassion, and meaningful change.  

I believe therapy is most meaningful when it helps people develop a deeper understanding of themselves while creating practical change in their everyday lives. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, feeling stuck in a difficult transition, or trying to change patterns that have been affecting your relationships or well-being, therapy can offer a space to slow down, gain perspective, and move forward with greater clarity. As a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 20 years of experience, I work with adolescents, adults, and families. My background includes inpatient and outpatient care, emergency settings, and university counseling environments. These experiences have shaped my belief that effective therapy requires both a thoughtful understanding of each person’s individual circumstances and a willingness to adapt treatment to their specific needs. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based treatment. I integrate cognitive-behavioral strategies with Internal Family Systems and other therapeutic approaches when appropriate. I am interested not only in helping clients manage symptoms, but also in understanding the thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences that contribute to their difficulties. Together, we identify meaningful goals and develop strategies that support lasting growth. I have particular experience working with anxiety, panic, OCD, insomnia, depression, trauma, grief, self-image concerns, and major life transitions. I also work with parents and families who are navigating challenges in communication, relationships, and emotional well-being. I recognize that beginning therapy can feel unfamiliar or difficult, and finding the right therapist matters. My goal is to create an environment in which you feel respected, understood, and comfortable being honest. I see therapy as a partnership, one in which we work together to help you feel more capable, connected, and engaged in your life.  

I have over 34 years of experience working as a clinical psychologist. The bulk of my career was spent at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, where I provided comprehensive, evidence-based psychological assessment and intervention for a range of mental health difficulties, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, substance use, sleep, chronic pain, personality disorders, and psychosis. In addition to my clinical work, I served as the overall Director of Training for the APA-accredited doctoral internship and postdoctoral residency training programs. Throughout my tenure in this position, I have had the honor of providing clinical supervision and mentorship to over 300 psychology interns and postdoctoral residents. Since retiring from my position at the VA, I have continued to… - Maintain a private practice providing individual psychotherapy and psychological assessment - Serve in several volunteer leadership roles involved in the national management and coordination of psychology training and education and the overall profession of psychology - Serve on the Minnesota Board of Law Examiners - Serve as an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota's Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program - Teach graduate-level courses at local psychology doctoral programs On a more personal note, I have a passion for travel and the thrill of discovering new culinary adventures and restaurants. Cooking, art, and photography are creative outlets that I cherish, along with a love for nature and outdoor activities. My commitment to health and an active lifestyle is evident in my lifelong engagement with endurance sports, including marathon running, cycling, ironman triathlons, and hiking. These activities not only challenge me physically but also provide a strong sense of accomplishment and joy. My practice is anchored in the belief that my clients are more than just their symptoms or diagnoses. I collaborate closely with them to thoroughly understand their unique struggles and customize a treatment approach that utilizes proven methods to address their specific needs. My objective is to apply my years of knowledge and expertise to every individual I assist. I have extensive experience working with adults from diverse ethnic, racial, gender, sexual, and religious backgrounds. Additionally, I have developed specialized skills to address the unique challenges faced by healthcare professionals.

I approach therapy from a humanistic and spiritual perspective meaning I believe you are a whole and complete person who is struggling with some aspect of their life. If you need a non-judgmental champion on your side, Dr. Chad is here for you. I firmly believe that your challenges are growth opportunities, not punishments. The struggles are opportunities to bring compassion into your life. One of my therapy gifts is helping you see the lessons or blessings (or both) you have faced while empowering you to live up to your greatness while nurturing your capacity for compassionate self-love. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you better understand yourself.  

There are seasons in life when we feel lost, a relationship changes, a loss reshapes us, or a long-held identity no longer fits. We find ourselves in unfamiliar territory, uncertain of who we are or where we are headed. Sometimes these threshold periods are sparked by an external life event. Other times they emerge as depression, anxiety, persistent relationship struggles, or the lasting impact of childhood experiences that continue to shape how we relate to ourselves and others. In our culture, these experiences are often viewed as problems to solve as quickly as possible. Yet many of life's most meaningful transformations begin in periods of uncertainty, darkness, and waiting. Just as seeds germinate beneath the surface before they emerge into the light, something new may be taking shape within you, even when you cannot yet see it. I offer a place to explore these experiences with curiosity, compassion, and depth. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, we listen for what is seeking expression, make meaning of life's challenges, and cultivate a deeper connection to yourself, your relationships, and your own unfolding path. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and questions of identity, purpose, and meaning. Together, we create a space where healing and growth can emerge in their own time. I provide telehealth therapy for adults and couples throughout California and welcome the opportunity to learn more about what brings you to therapy and whether we may be a good fit to work together.
