Chantay Stanley
@chantaystanley
United States Army Veteran and licensed clinical social worker.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated United States Army Veteran with over eight years of experience in crisis intervention, assessment, and training. My background as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) has equipped me with the skills to manage mental health illnesses and provide crisis services to a diverse clientele, including veterans, families, and children. I pride myself on being self-motivated, resourceful, and disciplined, ensuring that I deliver professional and reliable services to those in need.
Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in various roles, including paralegal work and teaching. My work at LOVE LIVE LIFE PLLC allows me to conduct initial assessments and provide clinical interventions using evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, CBT, and DBT. As an adjunct professor at the University of the People, I have prepared course materials and engaged with students to enhance their learning experience in health psychology and mental health.
My commitment to ethical practices and maintaining confidentiality is unwavering, as demonstrated in my roles at Harmony 360 Counseling and the Department of the Army. I have successfully mentored social work interns and facilitated group education sessions on mental health topics. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of others and continuously seek opportunities for professional growth and development.
