About Chidale
I'm a licensed therapist in South Carolina dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With extensive experience across a broad range of concerns, I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, and anger management, among many others. My approach is grounded in compassion and practical support. I specialize in helping people work through communication difficulties, isolation, grief, guilt, shame, and the complex emotions that arise from past hurts and current life transitions. Whether you're facing relationship challenges, workplace stress, identity questions, or the weight of major life changes, I'm here to help you find clarity and healing. I'm particularly skilled at supporting clients through trauma recovery, attachment issues, codependency patterns, and the spiritual dimensions of forgiveness and purpose. I also work with older adults and those seeking a faith-informed perspective in their healing journey. My style is collaborative and person-centered. I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your unique story, and walking alongside you as you build resilience and move toward meaningful change. Taking the step to seek support takes real courage, and I'm honored to be part of your journey. Read more Show less
