As a Licensed Clinical Social worker I believe that every person has the ability to grow and change in the midst of chaos, trauma, life changes, and stress. Within the nurturing environment of a therapeutic relationship, individuals can deepen their understanding of themselves and their personal challenges, while learning new ways to handle life's difficulties. I strive to be supportive, non-judgmental, genuine and down-to-earth, so individuals feel safe and comfortable.
I am informed by systems theory and value a holistic approach to therapy, working to address issues on an emotional, physical, & existential level. I utilize treatment strategies from DBT, CBT, TF-CBT and offer direct, helpful guidance for those who want more than just a good listener. I work with adolescents, adults, families, and couples.
Additional areas of focus: Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Self esteem, Coping with life changes, Fertility issues, Gender dysphoria, Impulsivity, Isolation / loneliness, Jealousy, Midlife crisis, Mood disorders, Polyamory / non-monogamous relationships, Social anxiety and phobia
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Chelsea Wright. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Chelsea made me feel comfortable about sharing and helping me address some of the deeper items I was ignoring. I feel like I am getting somewhere with myself for the first time.
