Meet Our Team

Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Have you tried everything, and nothing seems to get you to where you want to be? Maybe you’re tired of masking your ADHD, pushing through anxiety, or carrying the weight of trauma in silence, only to feel like you’re running on empty. You’ve likely been told to “just cope” or “deal with it,” but you know deep down that real healing goes beyond just talk or medications. You’re ready for something deeper, something whole.

That’s where I come in.

I’m Chantè Anderson, a licensed mental health counselor, holistic health coach, somatic practitioner, and reiki master. I specialize in helping people create healing that’s not just mental, but physical, emotional, and energetic. My integrative work weaves together psychotherapy, somatic therapy, health coaching, and energy healing to help you reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and live in alignment with who you truly are. 

I created Essence Holistic Health to offer something different: a space where healing is as multidimensional as you are. With over a decade of experience as a licensed mental health counselor, I specialize in working with adults navigating ADHD, autism, complex trauma (CPTSD), anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and health issues. I bring my full self to the table, not just the clinical training, when I'm working with someone. I’m someone who understands firsthand how powerful it is to reclaim your wellness in ways that feel empowering, not prescriptive.

Whether you’re navigating PTSD, ADHD, depression, chronic stress, health issues, or are just feeling out of sync with yourself, I’m here to help. This is your space to release survival mode and step into balance, wholeness, and freedom.

Currently pursuing graduate training in counseling, Azalea has advanced her expertise through coursework in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), marriage and couples counseling, cultural considerations, substance abuse intervention, career counseling, grief counseling, and psychological assessment. She is particularly passionate about supporting individuals navigating ADHD, anxiety, and life transitions, helping clients explore obstacles with compassion and learn practical coping strategies to move forward.

 
In addition to her clinical training, Azalea is an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT) and a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP), with eight years of teaching experience and thousands of classes taught. She integrates mindfulness, yoga, and breathwork into her practice as regulating and protective tools, weaving these approaches into mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, CBT, ACT, and motivational interviewing.

Whether guiding clients through chronic pain management, supporting emotional regulation, or helping them navigate major life changes, Azalea offers excellent support to empower clients to meet challenges with clarity and confidence.
