My name is Chesy Tronchoni Bello, LPC, MT-BC, CYT. I’m a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor, Board-Certified Music Therapist, and yoga teacher. I specialize in helping clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, trauma, and identity development. My integrative approach to healing is rooted in intersectional feminism, humanistic tenets, and trauma-informed care, incorporating mindfulness-based techniques, motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, and expressive arts and movement.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first couple of sessions of the therapy process will be dedicated to start developing the therapeutic relationship and gathering relevant information about you across different areas of your life. I start by listening and getting to know the client’s life, relationships, and significant childhood experiences that may be affecting current thoughts and behaviors. From a “bottom-up” approach, we work on managing any symptoms with healthy coping skills and mindfulness techniques before diving into exploring the “why” of things to find sustainable change.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My warmth and authenticity help people feel safe and connected. I am flexible, non-judgemental, and open-minded, so I am not afraid to approach uncomfortable or "taboo" topics that are important parts of life. My diverse life and professional experiences allow me to empathize with people from all walks of life, and to integrate different healing modalities into the work of therapy.

My treatment methods
Multicultural
Part of the therapy process is learning about how your cultural background and upbringing inform the way you see and navigate the world. I make sure to address the struggles of those whose race, gender, socioeconomic background, religion, or any other part of their identity doesn't fit in with the majority.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness is being aware of internal thoughts, feelings, and emotions, as well as external surroundings and situations, without automatic responses such as judgment or stress. Mindfulness-based therapy focuses on learning how to be more aware and to reduce automatic responses, gaining more flexibility and overall wellbeing.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy is a form of talk therapy that explores the connection between a patient's past experiences – often from childhood – and their current mindset. Working together, the therapist and client look at how these early hidden and stifled memories have affected the client’s thinking, behavior, and relationships in adulthood.
Feminist
Feminist therapy focuses on the challenges that women and people from marginalized identities face as a result of bias, stereotyping, oppression, discrimination, and other factors, and how those stressors can negatively affect their mental health. It is based on the belief that wellness is inextricably linked to an individual’s social and cultural identities and the political environment in which they live. The therapeutic relationship, is based on equality between therapist and client, and their ability to forge an authentic connection.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma-informed therapy involves accounting for clients’ trauma and its impact on their behavior, mental health, and ability to engage in treatment. Trauma-informed therapists assume that a client could have a trauma history and will take steps to avoid inadvertently triggering or re-traumatizing the client in treatment.
