Hello! My name is Chatoné Strickland and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Texas. I love doing therapy and find joy in helping people become aligned with their true selves. I believe every person has the ability to change their lives. My role in therapy is to help you clarify your aspirations, hopes and goals then identify and address the barriers that prevent you from acting in alignment with them. I consider myself the guide, and you the expert. As the guide, I will help you examine your thoughts, behaviors, beliefs and actions. I will teach you ways to cope, manage and problem solve effectively. I practice with care, empathy and from a strengths based approach. My goal is to see you live your best life! "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it".-Rumi
