I'm Chonnie Thiessen, a licensed marriage and family therapist with a passion for helping others. I have a master's degree in marriage and family counseling and over 10 years of experience in providing effective and compassionate therapy to individuals, couples, and families.
My approach
I use a variety of evidence-based techniques, such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, Solution Focus, and other talk therapies, to help my clients cope with their challenges ad achieve their goals.
My focus
I work with individuals aged 12-99 who are dealing with challenges such as depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I also work with couples and families.
My communication style
I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. I respect and welcome people from all backgrounds, faiths, and orientations. I'm also a Christian who loves to work with fellow believers, but I'm understanding of all beliefs or non-beliefs.
My journey to mental healthcare
I believe that life is a journey of learning and self-improvement. Over 10 years ago, I had the opportunity to help others in the mental health field, which has always been my passion. My experiences along this journey have helped me understand and relate to many people.
My goals for you
I enjoy collaborating with my client to set the goals that they are wanting to work on.
My first session with you
During the first visit, I will gather history from the client and discuss why they came to therapy. The therapist will use a collaborative style as they set goals and treatment.
