Hello, Beautiful Soul! Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, emotional pain, or relationship struggles? Perhaps you feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, disconnected from yourself, or emotionally exhausted from carrying so much on your own. If so, please know that you do not have to navigate this season alone. Healing & restoration are possible. I help adults, adolescents, & couples navigate anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, attachment wounds, relationship distress, & difficult life transitions. My desire is to provide a safe, compassionate, & nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, soothed, safe & secure. I believe therapy should honor the whole person - spirit, soul, body, relationships, and personal story. Together, we will work to process painful experiences, strengthen emotional resilience, improve communication and relationships, increase self-awareness, and help you move toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and aligned with your values. If you are looking for a therapist who will walk alongside you with compassion, authenticity, and care, I would be honored to support you on your healing and restoration journey. I am also in-network with several insurance companies to help make therapy more accessible and affordable for clients seeking support.

You are the expert on you. I simply seek to work alongside you as a collaborator in your personal growth, healing, and self-discovery. I am certified in EMDR, and I have knowledge and training in working with individuals with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and prenatal/postpartum concerns. We do serious work in session, but I approach my work with lightness, and I firmly believe that lightness lends itself to true connection, growth, and even laughter. I work primarily with adolescents and adults who face relationship challenges, complex trauma, and utilize an eclectic approach. I utilize EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with many of my clients who have experienced trauma.

Does life feel like a constant uphill battle? You’re doing your best to keep up—with your partner, family, or school—but it’s exhausting. You might feel overwhelmed, anxious, or just... stuck. And while life comes with responsibilities, it isn’t meant to be lived in survival mode. You deserve support, understanding, and a space where you can breathe. You deserve to feel joy again. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, build emotional strength, and rediscover what joy feels like. With the right support, you can navigate life’s challenges with more confidence, clarity, and resilience. You're not alone—and you don’t have to do this alone. Whatever you're going through, we’ll work together to find what works, let go of what doesn’t, and help you move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life. I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach to therapy. You're not alone—and you don’t have to do this alone. Whatever you're going through, we’ll work together to find what works, let go of what doesn’t, and help you move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life. Life gets busy—and heavy. Between school, family, and everything in between, it’s easy to feel stretched thin. That’s why I offer secure online therapy that fits your life. No commute, no time off work or school—just real support, on your terms. Life is complicated enough, therapy doesn't have to be.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in individual and couples therapy. Creating a safe space for clients to explore the challenges and beauty of relationships is the utmost goal in my practice. The focus of my work is providing psychotherapy with adults and couples. I use an individualized approach with clients and tailor interventions to suit their personal goals. I incorporate strategies from the following treatment modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy. CLINICAL EXPERIENCE AND TREATMENT SPECIALIZATIONS: Life transitions and experiences (school stress, transitioning to college, roommate conflict, etc.) Relationship Conflict Anxiety and Depression Substance Use and relationships impacted by substance use Grief/Loss Trauma

You don’t have to go through grief or trauma alone. My clients often crave a space where they don’t have to “put on a brave face” but can be honest without fear of judgment. They are searching for hope and acceptance. They want to learn how to cope with their emotions and handle their relationships. I believe healing and moving forward happens when you can be your most authentic self. This healing isn’t about “getting over it,” but instead learning how to live in your new normal while sticking to your values. I am committed to providing a safe, affirming, and inclusive space for all clients. I am gender-affirming, an ally to LGBTQIA individuals and marginalized communities, and I strive to be culturally sensitive and respectful of diverse religious, spiritual, and cultural backgrounds. Your identity and experiences are honored and valued here. I completed my MSW from UGA where I focused on working with adults experiencing grief. My internship involved working in hospice, which is still a close subject to my heart. As a trauma-informed therapist, I hope to be a source of support for those who may not have the assistance they deserve during life's transitions, such as loss, illness, or college life. Therapy with me is like having coffee with a friend. There is no pressure, no judgment, just space to talk and be real. I like our sessions to unfold naturally while focusing on what matters most to you. If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, or even if you’re not sure where to start, I invite you to reach out!

I'm Dr. Chantelle Walker, and I’m so glad you’re considering working with us. I absolutely love what I do and take great pride in creating a space where my clients can show up as their authentic selves. More importantly, I meet them exactly where they are. The therapeutic journey is a profound experience, and I never take it for granted. I laugh with my clients, support them through challenges, and sometimes even share a tear as they reach milestones they once thought were impossible. My goal is to ensure that no one feels alone—I work hard to provide a safe space where self-care and mindfulness can take center stage. ​I work with adults (18+) facing challenges related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, work stress, coping strategies, ADHD, attachment styles, and relationships. ​ ​

Are you finding the stresses of transition to university life to be more difficult than you thought? Do you feel lonely in the crowd, unseen? Do you feel that your worth as a human being depends on your academic success or other actions? Do you live in fear, guilt, or shame? Are anxiety and panic attacks a part of your life?

College is a lot. You’re expected to keep up with classes, friendships, relationships, work, family expectations, and decisions about your future—all while somehow figuring out who you are and what you want your life to look like. Sometimes it can feel like everyone else has it figured out while you’re just trying to keep your head above water. I tend to work best with students who may look like they’re holding everything together on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck, or unsure of themselves underneath it all. Maybe your mind never seems to shut off. Maybe you’re struggling with motivation or falling behind when you know you’re capable of more. Maybe relationships feel complicated, you have a hard time setting boundaries, or you’re starting to realize that things from your past are showing up in your life now. Or maybe you can’t quite explain what’s going on—you just know you haven’t felt like yourself lately. You don’t need to have the perfect words for what you’re experiencing before coming to therapy. You don’t need to know exactly what you want to work on, either. Sometimes we start with what happened this week. Sometimes we talk about something you’ve been carrying for years. Sometimes we figure it out together as we go. My goal is to create a space where you don’t feel like you have to perform, have the “right” answer, or convince me that what you’re going through is hard enough to matter. I want therapy to feel like a real conversation—one where you can laugh, cry, vent, be frustrated, ask questions, learn about yourself, and still leave with tools you can actually use outside of our sessions. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety and overthinking, depression, trauma, burnout, self-esteem, identity, relationships, family struggles, or simply trying to navigate this very weird transition into adulthood, you don’t have to have everything figured out before you reach out. We can start exactly where you are.
