Chandra Emery
LCSW/LICSW, MSW, JD, LLM
I guide individuals, couples, families and various groups through challenging transitions, conflict, and life struggles toward greater clarity, connection and calm. Drawing on my experience in various therapeutic modalities (psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems theory, imago relationship therapy, emotion focused therapy, sensorimotor-psychotherapy and somatic therapies) as well as my training in process, communication and conflict resolution, I will bring a relationship-focused, strengths-based and accepting approach to our work together.
Psychotherapy services are available for individuals, couples and families located in Oregon, Washington, Texas and Montana. Facilitation, Mediation and Coaching services are available more broadly.

Client Experiences - Relationships
“Chandra will hold your experience with grace, nonjudgment, and care. Her gentleness is palpable. What’s unique about Chandra is that this gentleness is paired with firmness — a fierce dedication to get to the root of things without fuss. She’s got a gift for seeing process and she’s not shy about naming what she sees. You’ll be grateful for her gift. I certainly am."

Chandra's ability to guide, coach and honor us as individuals and as a mother/daughter in relationship was transformational."

Client Experiences - Organizations
“Our organization went through a challenging time dealing with reported incidents that had the potential to divide our community, with seriously negative consequences to deep relationships that had been built over many years. Those of us working as a team to resolve these issues were way out of our depth. Working with Chandra helped us understand and learn a very respectful, objective way to approach the situation with all parties involved. Her guidance and expertise provided the process, tools, and best environment for everyone to stay open, honest, and focus on re-building relationships for the future, rather than remaining negatively impacted by past events. Based on that experience, and the resulting healing of our community, we have formally implemented this model of Right Relationship throughout our entire organization. Chandra is skilled, inclusive, and a wonderful person to partner with, no matter how difficult the situation."
