Hello! I'm Chelsea, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with almost 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate the complexities of trauma. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from San Francisco State University, and I'm trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful therapeutic approach for trauma resolution. I provide virtual therapy to clients throughout California and I create a welcoming and collaborative space for you to safely explore your pain and to achieve healing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session we will talk about what is bringing you to treatment and how I can help. We will work together to create a plan for how to address your concerns and I will answer any questions you have. You are always in control of your treatment and I will do everything I can to make you feel supported and understood.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I use a trauma informed approach and support my clients on their healing journeys. I am compassionate but also straight forward. I will support you in your journey while also challenging you to grow and heal.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I specialize in trauma treatment for both teens and adults. I use an comprehensive approach to help my clients make sense of and heal from painful and traumatic experiences. I love working with teenagers and young adults who are trying to figure out who they are and how they fit into the world. I know that being a teen in todays world is incredibly difficult and am adept addressing issues like peer pressure, identity, academic stress, and family dynamics. I am also experienced in working with adults who are experiencing stress with big life transitions and dealing with concerns including parenting, relationship difficulties and career stress.

EMDR
I am an EMDRIA trained Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist with experience treating trauma in teens and adults. I use EMDR as part of a comprehensive approach to trauma treatment that allows my clients to integrate and process painful and traumatic experiences to find peace and healing. I create compassionate and responsive environment that respects where my clients are and lets them lead the way in their healing journey.
Trauma-Focused CBT
Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a trauma treatment that allows for my clients to make sense of what has happened to them. We focus on understanding emotions, use of healthy coping skills and creating a story that helps make sense of what happened and allows for healing. I am certified in TF-CBT and have used it to treat many types of trauma in teens.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a part of an electic and comprehensive approach to therapy. CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors with the understanding that our thoughts influence our feelings and actions. I will help you challenge your unhelpful beliefs and create options for healthier choices which will reduce your stress and lead to a healthier, happier life.
