Hi, my name is Chantel Gant, and I am a licensed professional counselor-board-approved supervisor, licensed addiction counselor, and national certified counselor. I graduated from the Xavier University of Louisiana with a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology and a Master of Education in professional counseling from the University of Georgia. I am a doctoral student in Counselor Education and Supervision. I have worked for 14 years in the counseling profession and 12 years at the Office of Counseling & Wellness at Xavier. My primary areas of providing counseling include relationship issues, academics, familial issues, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, and depression. I have prior experience working in the substance abuse counseling field. My other experience includes providing wellness programming, primarily presentations and organizing behavioral health, prevention, and holistic wellness events. I have supervised master’s level practicum and internship students in clinical mental health and school counseling. My experiences include presenting for various programs, including the Louisiana Higher Education Coalition Summit, Student National Medical Association, and SAMHSA BRSS TACS Recovery Live! Webinar.

I view counseling from a growth-oriented lens for clients to gain insight regarding self, feel a sense of affirmation, and recognize their therapeutic progress through a facilitative counseling process with counselor.
