I'm the Founder of Ordinary Healing
My lens aims to be anti-oppressive, anti-racist and trauma-informed. Based in NYC, I use creative and integrated therapy to treat anxiety disorders, trauma, and attachment issues. Trained in EMDR (as well as A-Tip, EMD & EMDr), Narrative Therapy, CBT, Mindfulness, Somatic (mind-body) work, Family Systems Therapy, Hip-Hop Therapy, and Dance/Movement Trauma Work.
​
I first worked to heal my own anxiety and trauma and have the experience of working with traumatized teens and families in the prison system, adults and children with anxiety in private practice, and teaching therapy techniques at Columbia University- I am ready to hear your story and provide you with the tools to heal and be kind to yourself while doing it.
That's me, Chantelle
I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE
I founded Ordinary Healing, to provide creative and connected therapy for those suffering from complex and generational trauma/PTSD. This includes issues related to childhood attachment, such as abuse and other relational traumas, and anxiety disorders (such as OCD, generalized anxiety, phobias, relationship anxiety, performance anxiety or difficulties with transitions). I provide therapy services for those age 11 and up, including families and couples therapy. I like to start with what works: sessions can be combined with music, movement, or mind-body activities to enhance the efficacy and best meet your communication style. Home-based sessions are available out-of-pocket only.
