First off, I want to congratulate you on starting your journey to find eternal peace. Finding a new therapist is hard but you're actively making the first steps and that's incredible. Welcome, I'm Chelsea and I'm a LICSW out of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I received my Master's of Social Work from Rhode Island College in 2020 and have been practicing clinically since. I have practiced in a variety of different settings, among many different populations, of all different age groups. I strive to assist my clients in achieving internal peace and happiness through the utilization of different therapeutic interventions. I cater my therapeutic work to each client individually to meet the goals that are present. Join me in building a future together that exceeds any expectations that were previously present.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session together I treat as a way to get to know each other. Therapy can be scary and I understand that. I ensure that our first session is taken at the pace necessary for comfortability while still beginning the therapeutic relationship. I strive to emphasize that it's mutually important for you to get to know me as it is for me to get to know you. In all, I do what I can to ensure comfort, confidentiality and confidence on both ends.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Just like every person has their own story to tell, every person has their own road to happiness. I cater my practice on a client-based level and adjust my treatment modalities based on the client at hand. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) through a trauma-informed lens so that you will feel safe and secure when working with me, which is gradually adjusted to meet the goals that are being worked toward.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have a passion for helping those achieve their goals and am dedicated to being a part of your journey.
