About Arbor Trails Therapy
Meet Chad Touchette
I began my journey in the mental health field in 2004 and have been actively practicing therapy since 2009. Over the past two decades, I have dedicated my career to understanding human behavior, healing trauma, and helping individuals and couples build deeply fulfilling lives and relationships.
Specialized Expertise
My practice is grounded in deep, specialized experience across two primary areas:
Sex and Porn Addiction Therapy: With over five years of dedicated experience, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals and couples navigating the complexities of compulsive sexual behaviors. I focus on breaking cycles of shame, establishing healthy boundaries, and rebuilding fractured trust. As a licensed clinician, I have completed the intensive, specialized training required to become a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) through IITAP. CSAT program delivers evidence-based tools, cutting-edge treatment approaches, and proven clinical resources.
Advanced Couples Counseling: Relational health is a core passion of my work. To provide the highest level of care, I have completed extensive, specialized training in two of the most evidence-based relationship modalities available: Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. This combined toolkit allows me to help couples map out their negative communication loops, heal emotional wounds, and build a research-backed foundation for lasting intimacy.
My Therapeutic Philosophy
I believe that therapy is most effective when it is a true partnership. In our sessions, you can expect an approach that is:
Direct & Transparent: I do not sit in silence or hide behind clinical jargon. I offer honest, straightforward feedback and clear insights.
Collaborative & Informative: We are a team. I combine your self-knowledge with my clinical expertise, sharing the educational tools and psychology behind why you feel the way you do.
Compassionate & Open-Minded: Growth requires safety. I meet every client with radical empathy and a non-judgmental space, regardless of how difficult or sensitive your challenges may feel.
Whether you are an individual working through personal hurdles or a couple fighting to save your relationship, you do not have to navigate this journey alone. Let’s work together to face your challenges, uncover your passions, and achieve the meaningful goals you have for your life.
