Getting to know Holly Merchant Chandler

Feeling drained, stressed, or stuck in confusing relationships? You’re not alone. I help high-functioning adults in Kansas who “look fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, resentful, or disconnected inside. My private-pay, fully virtual therapy is designed for busy professionals who want clarity, calm, and real results—without the waiting room or insurance headaches. I specialize in burnout, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and complex relational dynamics, including relational trauma and narcissistic relationships. Sessions are practical, personalized, and results-focused, helping you reduce stress, gain clarity, and restore balance—often within the first few visits. With over 10 years of experience in mental health and healthcare settings, I bring warmth, expertise, and a grounded approach to every session. Therapy with me isn’t about being “fixed.” It’s about having a compassionate, judgment-free space to understand patterns, manage emotions, and make life feel more manageable. I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), CAIP-certified, ADHD-trained, and currently under LSCSW supervision. As founder of Waves of Wellness Therapy Services LLC, I offer flexible, private-pay virtual sessions that meet your schedule, your pace, and your goals. If you’re ready to feel less stressed, more in control, and more like yourself again, I’m here.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Therapy with me is practical, compassionate, and tailored to your life. I create a judgment-free space where you can explore stress, relationships, and patterns without feeling “fixed” or pressured. Together, we focus on what matters most to you—reducing overwhelm, improving focus, and restoring balance—so you leave sessions feeling clearer, calmer, and more in control. I’m warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. High-functioning professionals often tell me they finally feel “seen” and understood in a way that’s supportive, not clinical or distant. Sessions are virtual, flexible, and designed to fit your busy schedule - no waiting rooms, no insurance hassles, just focused time for you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first session is all about understanding your goals, challenges, and life context. I take a thorough but approachable look at stress, relationships, ADHD, or emotional patterns that are weighing you down. From there, sessions are personalized - combining talk therapy with practical strategies, tools, and evidence-based approaches like CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness. You’ll leave each session with clear takeaways you can apply immediately to reduce stress, gain clarity, and improve your relationships. My goal is to create noticeable progress quickly while providing a compassionate, steady space to process emotions and navigate life’s challenges with confidence.
