About
Chastity (Chaz)
Meet Chastity, a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor. Chastity earned her Master of Science in Counseling from Southern Methodist University. She works with children, adolescents, and adults, with a special passion for supporting teens, young adults, and student athletes.
Chastity clinical experience has allowed her to work with clients navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, attachment and relationship difficulties, emotional regulation, and life transitions. Currently working toward becoming a Registered Play Therapist, Chastity believes in the value of early intervention and the impact that meaningful support can have across a person’s life.
Chastity firmly believes in the power of relationships to create meaningful change. Her approach is warm, relational, and creative, with humor and laughter often finding their way into the therapy room. She believes therapy can hold space for difficult things without always having to feel heavy. Chastity strives to create an environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves, while also encouraging them to look inward, better understand their emotions and patterns, and trust their own inner wisdom.
Prior to becoming a counselor, Chastity was a collegiate soccer player and collegiate assistant coach, experiences that continue to shape her passion for working with high school and college athletes. She understands the importance of mental strength alongside physical strength and the unique pressures athletes face both in and outside of their sport. Chastity recognizes that every athlete is different and works to help each individual better understand the needs of their mind and body, navigate pressure and expectations, and reach their full potential on and off the field.

My Approach:
Every client is different, so therapy should be too.
My approach is relational and collaborative. I believe meaningful change happens through a genuine therapeutic relationship where you feel both supported and challenged. I draw from attachment theory, psychodynamic therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and expressive interventions when appropriate.
I believe symptoms make sense when we understand the experiences that shaped them. Rather than simply reducing anxiety or changing behaviors, we work to understand why those patterns developed in the first place so change feels lasting instead of temporary.
I believe therapy works best when we’re on the same team. My clients know I’ll always be in their corner, but they also jokingly call me “mean” because I ask the questions they’ve been avoiding. I’ll support you, challenge you with compassion, and help you become more aware of the patterns that influence your life and relationships because understanding ourselves honestly is often where lasting change begins.
Outside of the Therapy Room
A few things that shape who I am beyond the therapy office.
Sports
Soccer has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It taught me resilience, discipline, teamwork, and how to grow through setbacks, which naturally influences my work with student athletes.
Relationships
Some of the most meaningful moments in my life happen with family and friends. Those relationships continue to remind me how deeply we're shaped by the people around us and why connection matters so much to me.
Balance
I believe we do our best work when we also make time to rest. Protecting slow Sundays, staying active, and spending time with the people I love helps me show up grounded and present.
Growth
I value growth over perfection. I'm committed to continuing to learn, reflect, and stay curious because I believe the best therapists never stop doing their own work.
