Day 7- Meet Maricar Chandler, LSCSW
Mari graduated from University of New England with her Master’s in Social Work and began her career in 2014, driven by a passion for helping others navigate life’s most difficult moments.
Her professional experience includes previously working in a psychiatric hospital and community mental health, where she served a diverse population of clients, including active-duty military, veterans, individuals struggling with substance use, and people across the lifespan—children, adolescents, adults, and older adults.
Mari’s calling to this work began early in life. While facing her own personal hardships, she discovered a desire to support others through theirs, ensuring that no one has to face challenges alone. This insight continues to shape her compassionate and client-centered approach to therapy.
Mari now provides EMDR therapy, helping clients process trauma and emotional distress in a way that is both structured and deeply individualized.
After relocating to Fort Sill, OK, Mari offers telehealth-only services, allowing clients to receive care in a flexible and accessible way.
She believes therapy is never a “one size fits all” process. Each person’s journey is unique, and Mari works closely with her clients to tailor therapeutic techniques that align with their specific needs, goals, and lived experiences.
Outside of her professional work, Mari enjoys unwinding with a good TV drama or action series and spending time watching her children play sports.
We’re grateful to have Mari as part of our team and the care she brings to the clients she works with every day!
