Hi there, I'm Chelsey! I believe the most important aspect of successful therapy is the connection you have with your therapist. My name is Chelsey Fouts and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I want you to feel heard, understood, and valued in our therapeutic relationship. My approach is noticing negative thought patterns and challenging you to believe in your worth. I will help you navigate daily stressors by gaining skills to achieve positive change in your life. I help you to understand how your past experiences influence your present behavior/beliefs. I utilize concepts from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), Solution Focused, and Psychodynamic therapy. Most recently my background has been a focus on processing trauma with youth, specifically childhood abuse. I have years of experience treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD with both youth and adults. My clients would describe me as warm, encouraging, and strengths-based. I meet you where you are and encourage you to share what is most impacting you. I provide guidance and structure to offer you new ways of approaching your challenges. I have been practicing as a therapist for almost six years. I have always viewed people as the most integral part of our world and I am fascinated by how one’s mind works. What continues to drive my work as a therapist is seeing the positive shift in a client’s view of themselves, feeling more confident in their relationships, and overall feeling happier. I view it as a privilege to have a client share their vulnerabilities with me and trust in the process. I want to hear from you what your goals are and how you feel therapy will improve your well-being. I work in a collaborative approach with you to help you identify your goals and steps to achieve these goals. I monitor your progress and check in with you to determine if you feel you are making progress. During our first session, I will spend time learning about what led you to want to participate in therapy and how you have been recently feeling/coping. I will ask questions to better understand your symptoms, stressors, interests, family/friends, and anything you feel is important to know about you. My primary goal is to work toward establishing a connection with you to gain your trust.
