History
Before becoming a licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Chad Cryder worked in a variety of industries including food/beverage, retail, airline, banking, technology, and the beer industry. While seeming random, each experience fostered his desire to help people find solutions to problems they were facing. Becoming a psychologist was a natural step for him as it allowed him to take this desire to help into a deeper level - cultivating compassion for ourselves and others.
Dr. Cryder started An Elegant Sufficiency, A Psychological Corporation to bring together some of the best clinicians and practitioners to holistically approach mental, physical, and spiritual health. While right now we are focused on mental health, our services will expand in the near future.

Chad Cryder, PhD
I approach therapy from a humanistic and spiritual perspective meaning I believe you are a whole and complete person who is struggling with some aspect of their life. Together, we look to see the lessons or blessings (or both) you have faced while empowering you to live up to your greatness while nurturing your capacity for compassionate self-love.
As a clinical psychologist, published author, and presenter, Dr. Chad has been in the field of helping clients for over 15 years. Throughout his varied career, he has worked for Fortune 500 companies, within correctional facilities, and conducted research on relationship satisfaction.
