Gavin Chatterley, LICSW, is a licensed independent social worker with over 5 years of experience. He specializes in working with people facing a range of life stressors including relationship concerns, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance abuse concerns. He is a highly experienced practitioner of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a treatment approach that emphasizes facing negative experiences in safe and sensitive ways rather than fighting or trying to resist them.
In a collaborative, non-judgmental environment, He assists clients in identifying emotional pain, past or present, that prevents them from placing their most deeply held priorities at the center of their lives. We then address that pain with the tenderness and respect needed for healing to occur.
He has worked with a very broad range of people during his time in the field. If you’re in mental or emotional distress, chances are that he has worked with clients struggling with challenges similar to yours at some point in his career. If you’ve considered seeing a counselor but aren’t sure whether you’re ready to take the plunge, schedule an appointment with Gavin and we can discuss together whether therapy is the right fit for you.
