Chris Chandler

I am a Christian counselor/coach and I am passionate about helping men experience freedom from compulsive behaviors and, as a result, a deeper connection with God, themselves, and others. I specialize in helping men struggling with addictive and compulsive behaviors like pornography, sex, drugs, alcohol, food, work, video games, relationships, etc. After more than 20 years of experience, I have found that true lasting healing does not happen in isolation. Weekly recovery groups provide the accountability, honesty, and brotherhood required for lasting transformation. That is why I now fully focus on the power of group work. I’ve specialized in addiction recovery since 2006, training directly under Dr. Patrick Carnes and working with him on the groundbreaking Fulbright Study researching the genetic links to addiction. My work integrates cutting-edge models such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR tools, Polyvagal Theory, etc to bring together the science and soul of healing. Johan Hari said, “The opposite of addiction is not sobriety; it’s connection.” Addiction is not just a behavioral problem, it’s a relational wound. And the path forward isn’t just more talk therapy; it’s connection that heals. If you’re tired of white-knuckling it alone, I’d love to help you join a community where you can truly heal, connect, and transform! Specialties: I've developed the Relational Recovery System, rooted in interpersonal neurobiology and mapping the brain's attachment wounds and coping strategies; It integrates top tools from gold-standard models into a comprehensive and robust system that builds lasting behavioral changes, identifies core trauma, and restores authentic relational intimacy. Credentials & Experience: I am currently working ONLY as a professional coach despite still being a licensed mental health therapist in 19 states. I do not provide therapy services at this time. I have worked full time in the field since 2004 and have been a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist since 2013.
