Dear Reader,

​

I’m glad you’re here. I’m Dr.Chantel Windy, but you can call me Chantel. I am a mental health therapist who struggles with my own set of mental health challenges. I felt called to this profession after watching my personal loved one’s struggle with their mental health and struggling with my own.

​

I identify as a trauma and anxiety specialist, and function from a place in my practice of believing that our lived experiences influence the entirety of our being. The lived-experiences that we have had really shape the people that we are and the way we exist in the world. I am so passionate about the work that I do, and I prioritize knowing and understanding my clients and their lived experiences.

 

Willow Birch Therapy was born out of hopes of creating a haven where people can come to the table as they are. I prioritize creating a non-judgmental, comfortable, and accepting space.

​

I believe that people are a sum of their parts and no two people come to me needing the same thing. My mission is to give my client’s the room to tell me what they need; and if they don't know (which is okay) my goal is to create space for them to embark on the journey of figuring that out.

 

How I know I have succeeded at my job is when my client’s share the following:

• they feel more empowered

• they feel more insightful

• they feel they have a deeper understanding of themselves

• they have enhanced coping skills
