Chester Mardis, LCPC, CS

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Clinical Supervisor. I am from southern Utah, where my family moved after my father retired from the Air Force. I studied psychology at BYU-Idaho and worked as an assistant in the animal lab to care for the animals and teach other students learning principles. Following college, I worked at Intermountain Hospital in Boise, in-patient treatment. I continued to get my Master’s degree in Community Counseling at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington.

I have had a range of experiences in working with people. I have co-taught courses for Anger Management and Parenting Children of Divorce. At an in-patient hospital, I worked with people on managing their substance use. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families. I have helped people address many difficulties, including trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, defiance, parenting, attention deficit, communication, and others.

I use a variety of treatment models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered techniques.
