Sherron Chandler

Hello , my name is Sherron Chandler. My pronouns are she/her/hers. I recently obtained my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Eastern Michigan University.  I have a huge heart, open mind and bubbly personality. I love making and seeing people happy. I have experience in working with diverse backgrounds such as foster children, parents and families, developmental disabled individuals and more. I enjoy, and will forever be interested in gaining more information about individuals that are different from myself and how their upbringings, background and life experiences have shaped who they are. I use CBT-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address issues such as anxiety, depression, work/school related stressors, relationships issues, life challenges/transitions and much more. My goal for clients is to provide them with a toolbox of skills that will help in a time of need."
