Hi there, I'm Chelsy. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a mother of two living in Los Angeles. Due to my own personal difficulties in pregnancy, birth and postpartum I have become passionate about supporting those who are pregnant, have given birth, post-partum, and their partners.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Working with me you can expect a warm, safe, and judgement free space to have honest and transparent conversations, process experiences, and practice coping tools to be the best possible version of yourself.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Having worked as a therapist for the past 7 years, I have found that clients appreciate my judgment free and honest approach. I strive to create a comfortable therapeutic environment for my clients to feel safe to be open and vulnerable.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with those who are pregnant or postpartum and navigating that fulfilling yet challenging and sometimes overwhelming stage of early parenthood. I have additional training in supporting those who have experienced perinatal loss. I also offer couples support for birth persons and their partners.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use elements of CBT to help my clients challenge negative thinking that is unhelpful to their well-being.
Strength-Based
I use a strength-based approach to empower my clients throughout treatment. There is so much that comes with being a parent and I have found that it often feels like an isolating and "thankless" job. Discussing strengths and celebrating accomplishments can help empower clients to be their most confident selves.
Grief Therapy
I have training in supporting clients through their grief and loss journey after experiencing infant and/or perinatal loss. I approach this in a nurturing way to allow clients to be vulnerable in a judgment free environment.
