About Woven Therapy
Your guide to a peaceful inner world.
We help adults safely connect with themselves and the world around them.
Each therapist here at Woven practices with their unique sound and style. We are trained in a range of evidence-based modalities, including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic and Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness practices. We have found that a range of modalities and practices best serves a whole person- thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
All identities, orientations, and relationships are welcome here.
Why Woven?
Woven is a metaphor for the deep interconnectedness of everything.
Like threads in a tapestry, our inner world—thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors—intertwines with the outer threads of relationships, community, and place. Each strand shapes the fabric of our lives, creating a unique pattern that reflects both our personal and collective journeys.
THE TEAM
The Woven Team
Madeline Chapla, LCSWA
She/Her | Licensed Therapist
Madeline Chapla is a licensed therapist, advocate and educator who helps people rebuild trust and possibility after trauma and experiences have made their worlds feel smaller. Before becoming a therapist, she worked across crisis intervention, domestic violence and sexual assault advocacy, legal settings and military-related systems, giving her a deep understanding of both the personal and institutional forces that shape recovery.
Today, she brings presence, honesty and follow-through to each therapeutic relationship so clients can show up exactly as they are and begin their healing process.
Madeline currently serves individuals and couples remotely throughout Virginia and in-person in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Lindsay Allen, LCSW
She/Her | Licensed Therapist
Lindsay Allen is a licensed therapist who has spent her career studying what happens between people- not just what happens inside of them. Grounded in systems and attachment theory, she works with individuals and couples navigating relationships, family dynamics, grief, identity and major life transitions.
Her approach is warm, curious and distinctly human: less interested in diagnosing what is “wrong” with someone than understanding the relationships, experiences and circumstances that have shaped who they are.
She is known for meeting complicated stories without judgment, helping clients recognize the strengths they already possess, and candidly challenging the assumptions they have carried about the way life is supposed to work.
Lindsay currently serves individuals and couples in North Carolina and Virginia.

Katie Maness, LCSW
She/Her | Owner & Licensed Therapist
Katie Maness is a licensed therapist, clinical supervisor and consultant who believes therapy should make more room for being human—not another place to perform, perfect or have it all figured out. She works with adults navigating perfectionism, relationships, life transitions, identity, anxiety and the distinguishing what you “should” do from knowing what you actually need.
Her approach is warm, curious and direct, drawing from mindfulness, emotion focused and somatic experiential approaches to help clients slow down, notice what is happening beneath the surface and develop a more honest relationship with themselves and the people around them.
She is known for bringing both depth and levity to the therapy room, meeting people without judgment while gently challenging the rules, expectations and stories that have kept them stuck. Her goal is not to help clients become better versions of themselves, but to help them feel more fully at home in who they already are
Katie currently serves clients remotely in North Carolina, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

Testimonials from Past Clients
A note from the Founder
Hi, I’m Katie and I’ve always revered the entirety of the human experience
I was raised to believe that people matter; their pain, the mundane, the moments of celebration and their dreams all deserve a space to be seen.
Throughout life, we all develop solutions, rules, and beliefs in an attempt to support ourselves. But over time, these patterns often stop serving us. I am no exception. As a deep feeler, I often struggled with feeling different or like I didn’t belong. In response, my internal world became harsh, critical, and perfectionistic—full of rigid rules that ultimately led to a misaligned life, unhealthy relationships, and painful emotional experiences.
Through therapy, I have found approaches to awaken and align with my authentic self to a create a life beyond what I could have imagined.
Credentials & Experience
I’ve dedicated my career to helping people navigate life. My journey started at NC State, where I double-majored in Psychology and Communication with a minor in Spanish, graduating Magna Cum Laude. From there, I earned my Master’s in Social Work from UNC Wilmington, graduating Summa Cum Laude.
Since then, I’ve pursued extensive training in evidence-based therapies like DBT, ACT, and CBT, and along the way, I became certified in Brainspotting and completed a yoga teacher training. In 2020, I was honored to receive the Soldier Suicide Prevention Scholarship from the Beck Institute, recognizing my commitment to supporting individuals struggling with mental health. I am a registered Supervisor in Virginia for clinical social workers and have provided clinical supervision in North Carolina to individuals seeking their license.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking, as well as individuals navigating substance use and mental illness. I was a founding clinician at Be Herd Counseling, where I worked with a full age range of clients and supported military families through equine-assisted therapy. I have also spent time in higher levels of care, working with adults experiencing disordered eating in residential and partial hospitalization settings.
Most recently, I founded Woven Therapy, a practice that reflects my passion for helping people reconnect with themselves and build lives that feel meaningful and aligned.
A peek behind the scenes…
Madeline and I met nine years ago as colleagues. We’re stoked to be working together again.
Lindsay and I met in graduate school- over a decade ago! We’ve been working together and collabortating for years in a private practice setting.
I’m a big reader. Like the other girlies, I’ve been loving all things Sarah J. Maas and fantasy escapism! Let me know your suggestions. And for those of you who are curious, I’m a Hufflepuff turned Gryffindor.
Yoga is my go to for quieting my mind and connecting with my body. I love going to the studio. Recently I’ve been more into restorative and yin classes.
I feel a deep connection to our mother Earth and all her critters. From sitting on the porch to camping in the woods- I’m in.
