-Depression
-Stress & Anxiety
-Substance Abuse
-Career Exploration
-Grief and Loss
-Navigating Family Dynamics
-Domestic Violence (offenders and victims)
I believe that it takes a lot of courage to reach out and ask for help so my approach to counseling tends to be to very solution-focused and person centered. My role as a therapist would be to work with you on navigating your lived experiences with the aim of working together to identify your desired outcomes and moving towards those goals. I aim to be supportive throughout the process while also challenging you to ask yourself tough questions when needed. In my experience this approach has been successful at helping individuals to really examine their individual situations and take meaningful steps towards their self-identified goals.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Chastity Murray. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Murray has been so nice to talk to and get worries and confusion off my chest and into the open. She is patient and I am enjoying this process with her.

Dr. Murray is, frankly, amazing. She's professional, empathetic, helpful, responsive, funny, gentle but firm, and all-around amazing.

I was really struggling deciding to reach out for help because of previous experiences, but Dr. Murray made it seem natural and worked with me to make this process comfortable from day one. She's easy to reach and keep me thinking about things in a healthy, productive way. It's a relief to have such a lifeline and I couldn't thank her enough even if I tried.
