Amy Christine Chandler MSW, CAS
My name is Amy Christine Chandler, I am a second generation native to Colorado. At the age of 25, I started my career as a probation officer in the Denver County Probation Department. I began working on my CAS credentials and eventually left to pursue my career in counseling. I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a Bachelors in Arts in Sociology with a minor in Criminal Justice. I obtained my Masters in Social Work from Denver University in 1997. I have been self-employed ever since. I was the owner and therapist at Solace Counseling from 1998-2007, expanding to my LODO location, Integrity Health and Wellness. Today I have a thriving counseling office providing individual, couples, family, group counseling, and court mandated treatment. The agency is successful because clients feel welcomed, heard, and understood. I am expanding to intensive workshops and weekends where I collaborate with other therapists to bring an exciting perspective to treatment. I continue to challenge myself and create new opportunities. I have learned and developed as a therapist every day. I am an advocate and protector for my clients. I stress accountability for myself and my clients. I am viciously honest and direct. I support clients’ transformation from the victim to the empowered and powerful. I believe in integrity and supporting others to define integrity in their lives, gain clarity, and live a life without apologies and with fierce acceptance. I am the mother of three outstanding boys and have surrendered to a life of sports and laundry. I enjoy all types of music and movies, and have made more time to travel and teach. I look forward to experiencing other cultures and expanding my influence.

Nicholas Petrucelli BS, CAS, CHPA
My name is Nick, and there is nothing special about me and my recovery from addiction story other than the amazing support I’ve gained from those I keep in my life. With more than 15 years as a professional in the behavioral health/ addiction field, I’ve learned one very important variable to maintaining recovery: any type of recovery cannot be done alone. I founded a 501(c)3 that offers no-cost Equine Assisted Psychotherapy for those who are under-resourced (2911foundation.org). I worked for one of the largest inpatient, long-term (2 years) treatment centers in CO called Stout Street for 14 years, seven as the VP of Programs (stoutstreet.org). I own and operate Broadway Counseling in Englewood, CO, which offers OP DUI and other services. I am also the Director of Facilities at Smoky Hill Vinyard Church & New Covenant Church (SHVchurch.org). But none of this is possible without the continued support of others who care for and love me. I suppose there is something special about me – The ring of amazing individuals who circle around me and promote a focus on what I’m purposed to be and provide grace for when I fall short. I am a person who follows Christ Jesus and aspires to continually grow into the man He intended me to be.
