Chad Blanchard, MA, AMFT
AMFT103098  --  NPI: 1124573779

Covid-19 Update: Chad is accepting clients through video & telephone

Chad Blanchard, MA, is a registered Associate Marriage Family Therapist.  His personal statement reads: 
I'm deeply committed to bringing compassion, attunement and curiosity to each therapy session. Whether by working w/ you as an individual, w/ your teen-aged loved one, or w/ you and your partner in couples therapy, My intention is to consistently help create an environment that will allow us to explore your experience....to understand both your difficult patterns & challenges (such as anger, depression, trauma, difficulty connecting w/ others, trouble being present etc. ) and the beautiful aspirations that exist within you. Even though you may currently be so stuck that you aren't aware of that beautiful part of you. Therapy works :-)
I am a relational therapist w/ a collaborative approach in assisting adult and teenage individuals and couples in their quest for change. Through authentically witnessing the difficulties, attachment wounds, fears, strengths and aspirations, it's my intention to help clients develop a better awareness of themselves and then to practice choosing differently.
If you have a religious faith or spirituality (and are interested), we can certainly weave that into your therapy. It's been beneficial for past clients to harness that already developed connection, though in no way required. Unfortunately, I am not able to accept insurance. If coming in to the office is challenging, we can easily set up online sessions.

Raphael Amir, MA, AMFT-APCC

​NPI: 1679006191

Covid-19 Update: Raphael is accepting clients through video & telephone

Raphael Amir, MA, is dual registered as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor.  His personal statement reads: 
I am a registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor.  My personal life includes years of Mindfulness practice and study of Western and Eastern psychological systems as well as most religious and spiritual teachings.  Traveling and living overseas (Europe, Middle East, Oceania) has brought an awareness of our common humanity with sensitivity to the suffering of “othered” groups.
My style is collaborative - I respect your autonomy and ability to make decisions.  I see my role as helping you understand your inner world better as well as give you skills when requested to lessen suffering and distress.  I can help you see alternate ways of seeing your situation, yourself, and others in order to reduce suffering and increase a sense of inner freedom and happiness.  I consider us talking about the counseling relationship (“processing”) as a useful way to build trust, foster authenticity and allow a deeper exploration when appropriate for you.  My experience includes working with anxiety, depression, substance and alcohol use/abuse, identity issues, career exploration, financial worries, parenting, and developmental problems.
