Philip Chanin, ED.D., ABPP, CGP

I was first interested in working with Dr. Chanin after reading about his approach to psychotherapy and incorporation of Buddhist Psychology into his practice. After knowing him for a few years now, I can honestly say he comes highly recommended by both me and my husband. I’ve attended group with Dr. Chanin, individual counseling, as well as couples counseling. I sense that he cares deeply about his clients, and that he continues to think about them even after they leave his office. His knowledge is evident from years of practice in the field, and I admire the active stance he takes on continuing to learn and grow personally. His intelligence is met with deep empathy, which creates a very healing and non judgmental space for his clients.

I have known Phil Chanin for the last 10 years and feel fortunate to have met him when I first moved to Nashville. He was quick to help me connect with other therapists in the area - something he surely did not have to do. I will be forever grateful for his kindness and generosity in this way, and I know of many other professionals in the area who he has assisted similarly. Among the qualities I admire about Phil are his commitment to lifelong learning and personal growth, his depth of knowledge about psychology, and his sense of compassion for others.

I began seeing Dr. Chanin when I was going through a series of personal losses, and he worked with me over a two-year period. He's an amazing listener and did a wonderful job of putting me at ease. I always felt safe in his care and was able to better understand and work through the issues we discussed. I've recommended him to several people who were facing challenges in their lives and will continue to do so.
