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.

27 years offering treatment
I am a licensed psychotherapist in California with 27 years of experience. I have helped clients with a wide variety of challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma and have a special focus in helping those in grief. I am also currently the Executive Director of a community mental health program supporting young people in schools. Often we are being called to growth through our challenges. Our symptoms, relationship conflicts, painful longings and illness can actually lead us into new, more meaningful ways of being in life. I can assist you in developing more compassion and deepening your attention to what is being asked of you in these difficult moments. I can also help you to cultivate new awareness and behaviors that can bring you into greater intimacy with yourself, your community, the natural world and the sacred. In addition to talking, I use dreams, body awareness, writing and art as doorways to healing. I will work closely with you to create a plan of care that meets your unique needs and strengths. It takes a lot of courage to step forth on the healing path and ask for help. However as one of my mentors says, this is a solo journey that we cannot do alone.
