Hi! I'm Dr. Chelsea Acker, a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise working with children and adolescents. I'm experienced with a range of concerns, but I have specialized training in treating trauma, suicidality, and early psychosis. In 2019, I graduated from the PAU-Stanford PsyD Consortium, where I trained at the Stanford School of Medicine's psychiatry department and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital's program at a local high school. I attended internship (our version of residency, more or less) at the UC Davis Medical Center, where I received world-class training in the treatment of childhood trauma and early psychosis, both separately and together. I then completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Chicago Child Trauma Center, where I continued to build my expertise in the treatment of childhood trauma. After that, I worked at Kaiser Permanente, Oakland, for two and a half years, where I specialized in working with children and adolescents with complex, persistent symptom presentations, who had often been hospitalized multiple times for safety concerns and struggled to make progress with previous therapists.

Hello there, I'm Nubia. Does it feel like life is becoming unmanageable and an overwhelm has taken over your ability to engage in your daily routines, maintain a work-life balance or even enjoy things you used to like doing? Is the overwhelm also affecting your relationships with loved ones and friends, often stopping you from joining others and you find you're spending more time alone? Most of us at some point in time will feel some of these uncomfortable emotions that can take us out of our center and lead us astray, sometimes even to dark places. I can help to bring back some stability through understanding, self- exploration and empowerment. I've been a practicing psychotherapist for 17 years and have extensive experience working with youth/children and adults. Whether you are dealing with mood instability, anxiety, relationship discord or a sudden disruption in life, my approach to working with you is always person-centered, strength based and emotion focused in order to restore and bring balance back to your life. I invite you to stop by and let's talk about it...

I have been working with children, families, and adults for over 40 years. My counseling work began following intensive training at the UCLA Child Outpatient Clinic in Los Angeles. After earning a master's degree in social work from USC, I continued clinical work in a variety of settings including pediatric offices, outpatient clinics, and residential treatment. I completed a fellowship in Infant Parent Mental Health and studied under the late Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, MD, Dr. Edward Tronick, PhD, and Dr. Kristie Brandt, in Napa, California. I moved on to complete a specialist degree in school psychology and master's degree in education from Chapman University. I then worked as a school psychologist in public schools for nearly 20 years, during which time I completed a doctoral degree in educational psychology at Alliant International University and became board certified in school neuropsychology through the American Board of School Neuropsychology. I have held teaching posts, providing instruction to students enrolled in the master's degree in Social Work program at California State University, Long Beach. I am the current President of the Central Coast Association of School Psychologists

It takes courage to enter counseling. This may feel like a "website dating app" right now- looking for the best therapist to work with you, trying to find the "right one" on this site.. I get it. It can be a bit overwhelming. Even starting therapy can be overwhelming. I'm here to create a safe, comfortable, and engaging therapeutic relationship. In our work together, I want you to feel like "you're getting somewhere" in this process... My counseling style feels more like a conversation, than "formal questions and answers". I blend my clinical experience with humor, honesty and heart. I share personal insights, provide reflection, and effective tools to help my clients. I have felt blessed in being a part of my clients' growth and change. I hope that I can assist you on your journey... As an experienced clinical social worker, I taught for the USC School of Social Work, training the next generation of professionals. I've spoken at conferences for years throughout the US, training therapists and medical professionals. I taught "Making Marriage Work" for 10 years at American Jewish University. I've helped individuals & couples strengthen their relationships through clear communication, emotional connection, and practical tools. I'm a certified Sex Therapist- though I prefer to think of sex therapy as helping people build intimacy- however they define it for themselves- as a couple, or individual. Lastly, I have committed to volunteer work , personally & professionally. For years I have volunteered with Red Cross in offering Disaster Mental Health for those experiencing horrific traumas. I am grateful I have the skills to work compassionately with others in these tragic situations.

I want to take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by California rather than a city like LA?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Parenting?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Parenting, is filtering therapists in California that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
