About me

ABOUT ME
Are you ready for a change? Are you ready to live your best life? It takes courage to seek help for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. It’s not always easy to ask for help but the good thing is you do not have to do it alone. I’m here to help you get from where you currently are to where you want to be.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland and the District of Columbia (LICSW, LCSW-C) with over 25 years of experience working in executive behavioral health positions while conducting psychotherapy in my private practice. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, dually diagnosed, and career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I offer a space where you can be your true and authentic self. My integrated approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, psychodynamic, motivational-interviewing, person-centered, mindfulness and trauma-focused therapy. As no two people are the same, I will tailor our dialog and your treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Remember,” nothing changes if Nothing Changes”

I look forward to working with you!

Dr. Colvin has been fantastic and helped me through difficult moments. Cannot recommended her enough!

Written on Sep 26, 2022 after therapy with Chandra for 1 year and 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and career difficulties

From the beginning Dr.Colvin has been very helpful, understanding, sympathetic and has made me feel like I was truly being heard. Every session I left feeling better and a lot lighter. I would definitely recommend Dr.C to my friends and anyone who is seeking help and wants to feel welcomed. Every session I felt like I could say what was on my mind without being judged. I am thankful for Dr.C and I wouldn’t be in a happier place mentally and emotionally without her help

Dr. Colvin has gotten me through the worst 6 months of my adult life. I feel like I’m coming out a far better person than I was going in. She helped me through deep grief, stress, anger, and frustration, and she did so with empathy, a little tough love, and humor. She is the very best. I can’t say enough about how much I have appreciated her support. The. Best.

Dr. Colvin was amazing. She is incredibly supportive, and is an amazing listener. No matter what the situation is, Dr. Colvin has a keen ability to navigate the conversation to a very realistic side of things. She gives incredible advice, and offers alternatives/next steps to the situations you are dealing with. After just a few sessions with Dr. Colvin, I feel much better about the situations I was/am dealing with thanks to her guidance. Thank you Dr. C!
