Chauncey has been a tremendous help in my understanding of self, patterns and conditioned ways of being. He asks very great questions that really forces you to take inventory and accountability of what’s taking place. I set better boundaries and stay committed to my goals all with the help of his accountability and attention. Very glad to have his support and service.

Chauncey hears you out and gives some insight in a way that has no bias. The sessions have been great and I would recommend him for those who are seeking therapy.
