About Dr. Chandler

Jennifer Chandler, Psy.D. is a Licensed, Clinical Staff Psychologist at the California Institution for Men in Chino, CA.

Dr. Chandler, graduated from Texas Southern University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and English.  She received her Master of Arts and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology with an emphasis on Multicultural studies at the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University. 

Over the past few years, Dr. Chandler has enjoyed working with a wide range of clients.  She conducted psychotherapy with adult clients at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center's Mental Health Department.  There, she became involved in the S.T.O.P. Partner Abuse Program and co-facilitated a group for female survivors of domestic violence.  Additionally, she saw clients from the Jeffrey Goodman Special Care Clinic who had recently seroconverted (discovered they are HIV+).

Dr. Chandler has also seen children, ages 5-11 in a school setting through West County Counseling Center.  Through group and individual therapy, she helped children gain the confidence they needed to perform social tasks, created a safe place for kids of divorce to talk about their experiences, and gathered groups of kids to share stories about loved ones they have lost.  For this, she worked closely with school staff, parents, and teachers.

Before beginning her postdoctoral work at the California Institution for Men, Dr. Chandler worked with Dually Diagnosed Adults (Mentally Disordered Adults with Addiction) and Men (and some Women) with a history of Sexual Offenses at Sharper Future Clinic.  

Her current work involves providing individual and group rehabilitative therapy to Incarcerated Male Offenders at a State Facility.  Additionally, she is an adjunct Professor and Psychodiagnostic Supervisor for Argosy University's Clinical PsyD program in Orange County.  Finally, she has been extensively trained in rendering Bariatric Pre-Surgical Evaluations.   

Above all, she believes in multicultural awareness.  So much so that she wrote her doctoral project and has given several professional presentations on the subject.  Including presenting at the Lesbian and Gay Psychotherapy Association (LAGPA) of Southern California and several other training settings, if you are interested in attending upcoming presentations, please email her for details.
