Phaciealeethas (PJ) Chandler

Phaciealeethas (PJ) Chandler approaches therapy as a collaborative process, believing clients often already carry the resources they need and that the work is about uncovering and strengthening those parts. She frames her role as a guide - walking alongside clients, highlighting areas that need attention, and helping build practical skills to manage life’s challenges.

She is known for being honest, fair, consistent, and present. She avoids empty reassurances and instead combines challenge with support, offering candid observations while allowing clients to set the pace and depth of the work.

Chandler is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia, holding state licensure under GA LPC 010558. She has 14 years of clinical experience and earned a Master’s in Counseling with a focus in Clinical Mental Health from Delta State University. Her work has spanned outpatient and inpatient care, crisis response, community programs, and telehealth.

Her clinical experience includes working with people from age four through older adulthood on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, career difficulties, and coping with life changes. Her therapeutic style is person-centered and integrates cognitive-behavioral methods, humanistic perspectives, rational choice ideas, psychoeducation, and expressive techniques when appropriate.

The first session with Chandler is treated as a consultation - a chance to feel out the fit and decide whether to move forward together. Client comfort and a collaborative approach guide her work, especially when insight can bring up difficult feelings.
