This connection allows her to engage them in playful and serious work that ultimately supports their healing, resilience, and their relationships with peers, teachers and parents, She is trusted and respected in our community and I would recommend her work to anyone who would like to help their child thrive.”

“I trust and respect Karin Chandler with any of my patients. She has a cutting edge style that most therapists do not and is willing and able to look at all aspects of a patients life and lifestyle in order to bring the best results possible. She is thorough, extremely knowledgeable and highly attuned to the needs of the children and parents she works with. I highly recommend her work.”
“Karin Chandler has helped countless children, adolescents, and parents for more than 25 years. Alongside the warmth and empathy family counseling requires, she brings great intelligence, imagination, and and creativity to her family practice, and closely follows her field’s ever-developing research. I’ve known her for many years and have admired her growing understanding of the twists and turns, the ups and downs, and the complex adventures of family dynamics.”
“Karin Chandler has an extensive yoga practice along with a wealth of knowledge in nutrition and overall fitness. I have admired her ability to integrate the emotional, psychological and behavioral health in children and teens into her practice by incorporating not only her vast clinical expertise, but her in-depth knowledge of physical fitness and overall health practices. I’ve seen her work with children who would typically be put on medication using her wellness approach and created a lifestyle where the child not only does not need medication, but begins to thrive in ways that a medicated child would not be able to. I wish more clinical practitioners used this approach to helping children, teens and their parents create thriving lifestyles. I really believe this is how mental health issues should be treated.”
