Chad is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Fresno, California. He is a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (CASDCS) and an ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP). His clinical approach utilizes EFT, CBT, and Theraplay when working with children.

He specializes in working with neurodivergent individuals and families, while also providing therapy to clients of all neurotypes seeking support for anxiety, trauma, behavioral challenges, and relational concerns.

Chad has extensive experience working with teens and adolescents experiencing behavioral and academic difficulties, including irritability, defiance, emotional dysregulation, school avoidance, executive functioning challenges, and motivation concerns. He understands how often these struggles are rooted in overwhelm, misunderstood neurodevelopmental needs, or relational stress. His work with teens focuses on building regulation skills, increasing emotional awareness, improving communication, and strengthening accountability in a developmentally appropriate way.

His work is grounded in a strength-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach. He believes that many symptoms represent adaptive responses to overwhelm, unmet attachment needs, or chronic stress, not personal failure. His goal is to help clients understand their nervous system, build regulation skills, and develop tools that work with their brain rather than against it.

Whether a client is neurodivergent or neurotypical, therapy with Chad is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to each individual’s strengths and needs.
