My name is Chelsea Miller and I have been a Mental Health Therapist for 5 years. I utilize a blend of evidence-based practices tailored to the unique needs of each client. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can express themselves freely and work towards personal growth and healing. If you resonate with this description and are ready to take the next step in your mental health journey, I would love to connect!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can feel safe to share their thoughts and feelings. Here’s a general outline of what typically happens: Introductions and Rapport Building: We’ll start with some casual conversation to help you feel comfortable. I’ll share a bit about my background and approach to therapy. Confidentiality and Consent: I’ll explain the confidentiality guidelines and the importance of creating a safe space. You’ll also be informed about your rights as a client. Gathering Information: I’ll ask questions to understand your background, current situation, and what brings you to therapy. This may include exploring your history, any past therapy experiences, and your goals for our work together. Discussing Goals: We’ll talk about what you hope to achieve in therapy. This helps us establish clear objectives and a framework for our sessions. Explaining the Therapeutic Process: I’ll outline my therapeutic approach and what you can expect in future sessions. This may include the types of techniques or tools we might use. Q&A: You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions or express any concerns you might have about the process. Wrap-Up and Next Steps: We’ll conclude by summarizing the session and discussing the next steps, including scheduling future appointments. Overall, the first session is about building trust and understanding while laying the groundwork for a collaborative therapeutic relationship. Clients can expect to leave with a sense of clarity and direction as they embark on their journey.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I prioritize listening attentively, allowing clients to express themselves fully and feel validated in their experiences. I adapt my therapeutic methods to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring that our work is relevant and effective. I foster an environment free from judgment, encouraging clients to explore their thoughts and feelings openly. I am sensitive to and respectful of diverse backgrounds and experiences, integrating cultural awareness into my practice. I stay updated on the latest research and therapeutic techniques, continually seeking to improve my skills and knowledge. I aim to help clients identify practical strategies and solutions for their challenges, empowering them to take actionable steps toward their goals. I prioritize building trust and rapport, which enhances the effectiveness of the therapeutic relationship. These strengths help create a supportive and effective therapeutic experience for clients.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past five years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
