Chandler D. Arnold – Therapist
A U.S. Army veteran, Chandler began his clinical path working with at-risk youth and completed formal addiction-counseling training before moving into individual and group therapy. He served in the Colorado Department of Corrections treating substance use, trauma, and personality disorders, and later worked in private practice as well as inpatient and outpatient mental-health settings, including rehabilitation and crisis centers. Before AspenRidge, he was a clinical-psychologist intern while progressing toward his doctorate. Chandler’s approach is practical and eclectic, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Transactional Analysis to tailor care to each client.
When he’s off the clock, Chandler is equal parts maker and explorer—reading, crocheting, gaming, crafting, puzzling, hiking, rafting, and snowboarding. If we held an office talent show, he’d try to win it with comedy. In another life, he’s pretty sure he was a Viking explorer—and he might still lobby for a holiday that celebrates Viking culture.
