ABOUT DR. CHANIN HARDWICK

Helping adults and couples heal through embodied, trauma-informed therapy


 Serving clients virtually in California & Washington

Welcome

I’m Dr. Chanin Hardwick (PhD, LPCC, C-IAYT)—a depth-oriented, somatic psychotherapist and intuitive, dedicated to helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom and heal what’s been held in your nervous system for far too long.

For nearly two decades, I’ve walked alongside people on their healing journeys—helping them make sense of pain, reconnect with purpose, and build a more embodied way of living. I bring a grounded, heart-centered presence to this work.

My clients are often helpers, feelers, professionals, and seekers who want a grounded space to be witnessed and supported in real transformation.—who want more than symptom management. The individuals and couples I work with are ready for something deeper, more sustainable, and more self-aligned.

 I’m here to help you reclaim what trauma, loss, and systems may have tried to take away: your wholeness, your connection to Self.

Whether you’re carrying the weight of trauma, burnout, illness, relationship issues, or spiritual disconnection, I offer a warm, attuned space to explore the patterns holding you back—and gently move toward integration. This work is both scientifically informed and spiritual in nature. 

This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about remembering we are sensate beings and by stepping into awareness of all of our sensate wisdom, we can experience wholeness, clarity, self-trust, and internal ease. 

My Philosophy

We all have the innate ability to heal - we simply need a witness.
Therapy, at its best, helps you come back home to yourself.

I believe my clients are the experts in their healing journey. Trauma denies choice, it happens to you. Cultural Conditioning denies choice, it’s projected on you weather true or not,  I believe that an attuned, safe-enough environment can and has supported my clients to connect with their inner wisdom, their values, their gifts, and to begin to make honest choices devoid of self-harn from their own embodied awareness and knowing. 

By using a relational, body-based framework that honors our innate ability to heal and welcoming the Depths, what is unconscious become conscious, ultimately strengthening and repatterning neural pathways. The work is to use your intuition, at your pace, and through your direct embodied experience. Knowledge coupled with direct experience offers wisdom—— through this embodied wisdom we achieve healing, integration and equanimity. 

How the Therapeutic Container is Held

My approach—Embodied Soul Psychotherapy—is grounded in both clinical expertise and deep presence. It blends neuroscience, somatic psychology, awareness of unconscious material/perceptions, the tension of perceived opposites and spiritual inquiry to support healing at the nervous system and soul level.

I don’t follow a rigid formula. Instead, I draw from a rich toolkit of trauma-informed, evidence-based practices to meet you where you are.

Our sessions are collaborative, embodied, and designed to help you:

  • Feel safer and grounded in your body

  • Quiet self-doubt and anxiety

  • Heal relational wounds and attachment patterns

  • Reconnect to your purpose and Self

  • Find compassion and the wisdom in all the choices you have made

  • Experience grace within your body and it’s healing capacity

No matter what brings you here, My Offering is to be with you—there is no rush, all in your own time. But know, I am fully  grounded in evidence-based practices and a researcher at heart.
