Therapy Session in Texas

I am a therapist who got my start in a Marriage and family counseling practice after graduating with a MABC from Dallas Theological Seminary. I have had extensive experience working within the criminal justice system, women coming out of the sex industry and severe mental health issues including personality disorders, major depression, bipolar I & II, dissociation and severe trauma. I have trained local police departments in mental health orientations and critical incident trainings. I am also a certified resiliency trainer through the FBINAA. I enjoy utilizing psychodynamic and family of origin techniques as well as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and person-centered therapy when I work with families and children. I enjoy serving persons from different cultures. I consider my counseling of you an honor and a privilege and it is my heartfelt desire that you feel better after our session than you do before you see me. My objective is to "reveal the root, and expose the lies" especially behind those issues that trouble teens. I look forward to working with you on your journey to health and wholeness.

Hi, I’m Chelsea. I offer a safe, collaborative space for children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Whether you have a clear concern or just know something feels off, both are valid places to start. My approach is tailored to you: using play and creativity for kids, and practical tools for teens and adults. Together, we will reduce distress, build resilience, and develop everyday coping skills. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I am a compassionate and collaborative therapist dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and young adults through life transitions, school and social challenges, trauma, grief, and emotional wellness. I graduated from Adelphi University with specialized training in Trauma-Focuses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Childhood Traumatic Grief. My approach is empathetic, supportive, and client-centered, with a focus on creating a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I am an Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - Associate under the supervision of Kristy Dean, LMFT-S, LPC-S. I provide mental health services to individuals, couples and families from a compassionate and empathetic approach. Life can be challenging filled with uncertainty and a feeling of confusion or even loss. However, therapy has the possibility to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your issues. I look forward to walking your journey with you and by assisting you fulfill a happier relationship, life and future.

Life can feel like a lot, especially when you’re balancing school, relationships, family expectations, and trying to figure out who you are, where you’re going, and how to handle it all at the same time. If you’re here, something may feel off, overwhelming, or just hard to sort through on your own. Therapy can be a space to talk things through, understand what’s going on, and start feeling more in control of your day-to-day life. I see therapy as a collaborative process. My role isn’t to judge you. It’s to help you understand yourself, build skills that feel useful in your day-to-day life, and feel more confident using your voice and advocating for what you need. I bring experience and perspective. You bring your thoughts, your worries, your hopes, and your stories. Together, we will make sense of it and figure out what will help you move forward in a real, sustainable way. I know it can feel awkward to about your problems, especially with someone you don’t know yet. My goal is to make this feel as real and comfortable as possible. With me, you can expect a space where you can be honest and fully yourself. I’m not here to lecture you or tell you what to do—I’m here to listen, understand, and help you make sense of what’s going on in your life. I’m a direct but kind communicator, and I use a mix of thoughtful conversation, practical tools, and guided questions to help you explore what you’re feeling, clarify what matters to you, and start using what you are learning into practice in your day-to-day life. I’ll challenge you when it’s helpful, support you when it’s hard, and use humor when it fits. In therapy, we might work on: • Feeling less anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed • Navigating friendships, relationships, and family dynamics • Building confidence and figuring out who you are • Managing school pressure, expectations, or burnout • Working through difficult experiences or big life changes In our work together, I’ll be there to support your growth, help you get to know yourself better, and guide you in building the confidence and skills needed to navigate your life with more clarity and direction. For parents I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly two decades of experience working with adolescents and young adults in educational settings. Throughout my career, I’ve supported young people through academic, emotional, and social challenges while working closely with families. My work has included: • Helping adolescents manage anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm so they can function more effectively day-to-day • Supporting young people who feel stuck, unmotivated, or are struggling to engage in school or daily responsibilities • Working with adolescents and families to better understand challenges, reduce stress, and create realistic ways to support daily life • Guiding adolescents through peer conflict, relationship challenges, and social stressors • Helping adolescents build confidence and develop strategies when they feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or stuck in school or other areas of life • Responding to crisis situations and helping adolescents regain a sense of stability and safety In my therapy work, I focus on helping adolescents and young adults build self-awareness, strengthen communication, develop healthy coping skills, and grow into more confident, capable versions of themselves. Concerns like friendship or relationship challenges, uncertainty about identity, stress at home, feeling overwhelmed or burned out, struggles with motivation, anxiety that gets in the way of daily life, or simply feeling off without a clear reason are all common reasons young people seek support. Therapy can be a place to sort through these experiences and find a clearer path forward. If my approach feels like a good fit, I’d be glad to connect.
