Meet Our Founders
Carol Felley, BFA, MA LPCC, Clinical Director of Better Together Family Services
Healing begins with a safe, trusting relationship. With over 15 years of experience and advanced training in trauma, attachment, neuroscience, grief, and family systems, I bring warmth, skill, and deep respect to each person’s journey. This is a collaborative process. You bring your inner wisdom, and therapy helps uncover it. Through connection, choice, and compassionate awareness, healing becomes possible and transformative. It’s a privilege to walk this path with you. Every step is met with care, presence, and genuine commitment. For parents, I offer support that strengthens your bond with your child and provides tools that truly help even in the most challenging moments. Together, we choose the tools that best support your healing, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Nurtured Heart Approach®, sand tray therapy, attachment-based work, and neuroscience-informed practices.
Chasity Leblanc, CFPSW,
Executive Director of Better Together Family Services, Family Peer Support specialist and Trainer
I bring both professional expertise and a heart shaped by lived experience. For more than four years, I have served as a Family Peer Support Worker and Trainer for the COI, helping families navigate complex systems, find the resources they need, and hold onto hope in hard times. As a mom of four—two adopted from the state foster care system—I have personally walked the road of raising children with significant mental health needs. I know the heartbreak, the challenges, and the profound rewards of seeing healing and connection grow. My own journey of advocating for my children’s rights, navigating systems, and building trust fuels my passion to walk alongside other families so they never have to face this journey alone.
About Family Peer Support
Family Peer Support is help from someone who’s been there. A Family Peer Support Specialist is a trained and certified parent or caregiver who has lived experience raising a child with mental health, behavioral, or developmental challenges. We use that experience—along with professional training—to guide, encourage, and stand beside families as they navigate complex systems, access resources, and build hope.
Family peers:
· Understand the emotional toll and daily realities of parenting through challenges
· Help families advocate for their child’s needs and rights
· Share tools, coping strategies, and system know‑how
· Offer support that is strengths‑based, culturally responsive, and non‑judgmental
In New Mexico, Certified Family Peer Support Workers are trained through the Center of Innovation and recognized by CYFD. Our goal is simple: to make sure no parent has to walk this journey alone.
Family Peer Support at Better Together
Family Peer Support is built on values that embrace hope, trust, dignity, and growth. By sharing lived experience, our specialists provide guidance, tools, and compassion that foster resilience, lasting change, and the confidence to navigate schools, healthcare, and community systems.
Families are supported by a coordinated team of family peer specialists and trauma-informed clinicians who wrap around them, offering guidance, advocacy, parent coaching, and support for both clinical needs and navigating systems. This team-based approach ensures children who have experienced trauma or struggle with attachment receive comprehensive, compassionate care—while families remain at the center of every decision.
Discover the strength of walking alongside someone who truly understands. Our family peer support specialists are here to guide, listen, advocate, and support you every step of the way, helping families have a voice in the systems that impact their lives and creating a path toward wellness, self-discovery, and a stronger future together.
How Trauma-Informed Therapy Is Different?
Unlike traditional therapy, which may focus mainly on symptoms or problems, trauma-informed therapy looks deeper. Here’s how it stands apart:
- Safety First: Every step is grounded in creating emotional and physical safety, reducing the risk of re-traumatization.
- Empowerment: Instead of seeing you as a set of problems, we recognize your strengths and resilience, helping you reclaim a sense of control and choice.
- Collaboration: Healing is a partnership. You and your therapist work together to decide what approaches best support your growth.
- Whole-Person Care: Trauma-informed therapy acknowledges the mind-body connection, understanding that trauma can affect sleep, health, and relationships, not just emotions.
- Respect for Your Story: Traditional therapies may unintentionally overlook the impact of trauma. In trauma-informed care, your story is honored and never minimized.

Meet Our Team
About Me
I’m Chasity, a proud mom of four beautiful children that inspire the work I do today. Family is my greatest passion and the foundation for everything I do. That passion extends into my work in family peer support, advocacy, and community building, where I strive to create spaces of encouragement, connection, and growth.
I also love to travel and explore new places with my family, believing that every journey—near or far—offers an opportunity to learn, grow, and create lasting memories together.
✨ Quirky highlight: One of the greatest gifts my grandmother passed on to me is the art of being intentional—turning even the smallest moments into core memories and adventures.
About Me
Life has given me plenty of practice in love, laughter, and chaos—and in navigating the heartbreaks that shape us. I know what it’s like to juggle the tender, the tough, and the overwhelming moments of being human, and those lessons show up in my therapy room every day.
My style is warm, honest, and deeply respectful of the challenges you carry. I don’t just hand out “tools”—together we discover what works for you, your story, and your family.
I bring both heart and skill to my work. Healing begins when we feel truly seen and safe.
Outside of my work, I am a printmaker who finds inspiration both outdoors and in my art studio. I love camping with my husband and our dogs, and I recharge by spending time in nature and creating art.
About Me
Teil Plont, LMSW
Teil believes, “The problem is the problem, the person is not the problem.”
This philosophy guides both his personal and professional life. He is a partner, husband, father, adoptive and foster parent, and active grandparent. A retired Army 1SG and experienced home builder, he also spent years as a nonprofit leader, volunteering with children, families, ICWA, courts, and those experiencing homelessness before moving into the mental health field.
In 2015, Teil became a full-time student, earning his Master’s in Social Work and beginning clinical practice in 2019 as a Licensed Master of Social Work. He is continuing his education with plans to achieve his license of Clinical Social Work.
Teil brings deep experience to his work with families, blending consequence-driven parenting approaches with compassionate, practical language. He is a trauma-informed clinician versed in child, brain, and play development; parenting styles; adolescent struggles; narcissism; CYFD systems; and Crimes Against Children. He integrates evidence-based modalities, including Internal Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, and Family Structure Systems, and works as part of multidisciplinary teams.
Teil views therapy as intentional and tailored—sometimes lasting only a few months, sometimes longer, depending on the family’s needs. For some parents, change has happened within only a few sessions, while others have found their direction over time. He also models wellness by tending to his own biopsychosocial-spiritual needs and living with reduced ADHD symptoms without medication.
Outside of his clinical work, Teil recently learned to surf and embraces the parallels between surfing and life: sometimes you ride smoothly, sometimes you fall, but there’s always another wave to catch.

Honoring OUR LEGACY
Our Story: Honoring the Legacy of Delfy Roach
“A tribute to the roots that started it all, and the shared vision that keeps families at the heart of everything we do.”
Family ASAP was founded by Delfy Roach, a passionate advocate who dedicated herself to standing up for New Mexico families when their voices weren’t being heard. Delfy poured her heart into the work, making sure families were treated with respect and dignity.
In 2025, Delfy decided it was time to step back, and she entrusted the future of the organization to Chasity LeBlanc, Executive Director, and Carol Felley, Clinical Director. With Delfy’s full support, Chasity and Carol stepped into leadership together—Chasity bringing years of experience walking alongside families as an advocate, and Carol bringing her clinical expertise in supporting families through healing.
With both of their strengths combined, and Delfy’s blessing to make the work their own, the organization was renamed Better Together Family Services. The new name reflects what they believe at their core: families are stronger when advocacy, healing, and connection come together.
Today, Chasity and Carol co-lead the organization, carrying forward Delfy’s legacy while expanding services to meet the growing needs of families across New Mexico. They remain deeply grateful to Delfy, whose courage, vision, and unwavering dedication created a movement that changed the way families are seen and supported in New Mexico. Her work continues to inspire everything Better Together Family Services does, reminding us that one person’s passion can spark lasting change for generations of families.
