“This was my first experience with therapy, and I came into it feeling very nervous and unsure. I was dealing with anxiety and some significant life changes, and starting therapy felt intimidating. From the very beginning, she was incredibly approachable, down-to-earth, and warm, which made the process feel much less overwhelming. She’s thoughtful, intelligent, and isn’t afraid to gently challenge you in ways that help you see things from perspectives you may not have considered before. She has a real talent for meeting you where you are while also helping you dig deeper into your patterns of thinking and how you process emotions. She’s an excellent listener and very perceptive at identifying themes and underlying ways of reacting to things. Working with her has made me much more aware of how I think and feel, and she’s given me practical ways to reduce anxiety and better understand myself. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a supportive, insightful therapist.”

I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a supportive, insightful therapist.
    Chenelle has helped me so much. I was in a very dark place, had lost so much confidence and didn’t know who I was anymore. I had never gone to a therapist before and I was worried she would judge me for all of my mistakes and flaws. Instead she is so supportive and has helped me find myself again. I feel like I finally know who I am again and even though I still have moments where I struggle with self confidence and doubt, she helps me find my way back out. I still have a long way to go but I wouldn’t be where I am today mentally without her guidance. I appreciate her so much and highly recommend her to anyone who’s nervous about therapy. She has helped me correct some of the ways I used to think negatively about myself and my situation. She gives me a hope and peace that I haven’t known in years and I will be forever grateful for that.
    Chenelle is awesome! I always feel like I’m having a nice conversation instead of a therapy session. She is very personable, positive, and respectful. I would highly recommend!
    Chenelle has been everything you'd want in a therapist. I hesitated for years at going bak to a therapist because the first one I saw put me on medication on the second visit. It is important to find someone that has good energy and you feel comfortable with.
    Dr. Eastman is personable, professional and incredibly down to earth! It’s fabulous to connect with a therapist who is able to utilize her professional skillset to assist in my mental health journey with compassion.
    I have been really enjoying my sessions with Chenelle. I feel like I have learned more tools to help me throughout my healing journey in such a short time with her, I can't wait to see what else I learn & how much more growth I will have as my sessions go on. I enjoy how real and personable Chenelle is on our sessions, I feel like I can be 100% my authentic Self and that I am seen and heard. I was hesitant to do counseling online because I work full time from home and have enjoyed in person counseling in my past to give me some real face to face time with another human in person but so far I have been enjoying the online video sessions.
    Chenelle is so understanding and easy to talk to. She feels like both a therapist and a friend, which I really appreciate, and I always leave our sessions feeling lighter, like I've gotten something off my chest.
    Chenelle is very empathic, and is an intense listener. I believe she has sincere interest in my areas of struggle and suggests practical tools that we apply during sessions to help me modify my behavior. I have come a long way in our work together.
    Chenelle is amazing. She really has helped me through my process and has made me enjoy therapy. I genuinely look forward to our sessions. Couldn’t recommend her enough!! She’s truly the best!!!
    Chenelle is genuinely easy to talk to which was a comfort even before our first session. Her style is natural, real, and never clinical, calm when she needs to be and animated when we get into the nitty griddy! Always attentive, which makes me feel heard and supported. She creates a safe space where I can explore difficult topics and consistently helps me recognize strengths in myself. I always leave sessions feeling a little more grounded and with more positives to explore. Highly recommended.
    Chenelle and I clicked from day one! So easy to talk to and she makes me feel heard and understood in a way that other counselors haven’t. She is always there to help me grow and be my best self. I know I can rely on her to shoot straight with me and let me know where I’m falling short and where I can improve. I feel that I can be my real self and share whatever is stressing me at that moment and she is prepared with ways and strategies to help me cope and calm my worries. I would recommend her to anyone who wants someone to be real with them and authentic. I look forward to every session we have because I know I will leave with more tools to use to improve my daily life.
    Chenelle is easy to talk to and down to earth which makes opening up for me very easy. I feel like she genuinely cares about helping. I would highly recommend her as a therapist.
    I began therapy with Chennel in May of 2024 for help with dealing with a confluence of work and family issues that occurred at the time. Every week I looked forward to her sessions. I found her to be personable, positive, and relatable. She was totally great in helping me deal with the challenges of my life. I remember thinking that if I had friends like Chennel, I wouldn't have needed therapy.
    Chenelle's expertise and perceptiveness have helped me make significant improvements in my life within a short timeframe. I thoroughly enjoy our conversations and the way we work through issues together. I look forward to our weekly sessions as a highlight in my week. I highly recommend Chenelle as a therapist.
    Unfortunately I wasn’t able to have my actual appt with this provider due to her claiming we needed to have a phone call first before having the video meeting/therapy session. This was not explained when I made the appt, so I waited on the call for over an hour hoping to be seen.

    Chenelle is very empathetic and understanding. I always felt like I could open up and be myself with her. She is knowledgeable and supportive as well.
    Best therapist I have found! She's understanding, relatable, funny, and really gets me to understand things in a different way. I look forward to each session!
    Chenelle is the most compassionate and relatable therapist I've ever worked with. She is extremely attentive and has helped me work through issues in my life I did not think I'd make it through. She is truly a wonderful person.
    I absolutely loved the energy Chenelle brought and still brings to my visits!! She listens to every detail and tries to make comparisons to others things to help me understand!! She is very fun and understanding! I look forward to my visits with her!!
