Chandel Tommola

With 12 years of professional experience, she offers a collaborative style that centers the client's perspective while also introducing evidence-informed strategies to break unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including depression, grief, self-esteem, addiction, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, and career or parenting stress.

She draws on several therapeutic approaches rather than adhering to a single model, integrating methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused techniques to tailor treatment to each person.

Tommola emphasizes teamwork in the therapeutic process, naming the client as the expert on their own life while offering gentle challenges to thinking or behavior that interfere with goals. Her experience spans independent practice, justice system settings, in-home care, and telehealth, which informs a flexible approach to sessions and scheduling.

Clients who connect with her can expect practical skill-building, exploration of attachment and family-of-origin themes, and focused work on issues like abandonment, communication problems, body image, and compassion fatigue. She maintains set evening hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and sometimes offers make-up appointments when her schedule allows.
