Designing meaning. Cultivating wholeness.

I’m Chloé Cavelier, a consultant, designer, therapist, and creative. Across every chapter of my work, one thing remains the same: I help people and projects find their center and bring what matters most to life with clarity, depth, and heart.

A through-line of care and creativity

Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly a decade in the nonprofit and creative sectors, building brands, campaigns, and communities for organizations I believed in. I learned that great design isn’t just visual; it’s emotional. It’s how people feel seen, understood, and inspired to act.

Over time, that understanding pulled me deeper into the psychology of story and connection, the same curiosity that now informs my work in therapy, writing, and creative consulting.

Today, I bring those worlds together. Whether I’m helping a therapist articulate their brand, designing a campaign for a community organization, or supporting a client in the therapy room, my work always centers on the same question:

How can we create something that feels true to you, to your story, to what you’re building?

Professional Background

I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT #154961) and creative consultant based in Pasadena, California.

Before entering the mental health field, I spent more than ten years working across marketing, communications, and design, serving nonprofits, small businesses, and creative professionals through branding, program development, web and graphic design, copywriting, event coordination, fundraising, and campaign strategy.

From graduation through 2021, I worked within the nonprofit sphere and a regional library district, often wearing many hats, including managing and supporting marketing, community engagement, program design and implementation, volunteer management, fundraising, and digital strategy as needed. Since 2016, I’ve supported clients through one-on-one creative and strategic consulting work, from therapists launching private practices to medium-size community organizations to independent production companies and more.

I hold an M.A. in Marriage & Family Therapy from Touro University and a B.A. in Communication from the University of Arizona.

What I Believe

Design is relational. Every color, word, and image communicates a feeling, and every feeling is an opportunity for connection.

Story is healing. Whether personal or professional, stories help us make sense of who we are and where we’re going.

Beauty matters. Not in perfection, but in resonance, in the spaces and symbols that remind us we belong.

Depth takes time. The best things unfold with patience, curiosity, and intention.

It's just not that complicated. These projects can be affordable and sustainable.
