Chelsea Sharshel
My name is Chelsea Sharshel and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Addiction Counselor. I have been trained to support clients with issues that may include: communication, trauma, anxiety, anger management, low motivation, family issues, and addiction. My style is casual and friendly. I utilize modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brainspotting, Narrative Therapy, or Motivational Interviewing. There are many different styles of therapy and I like to combine some to fit each person’s needs. It’s kind of like having different spices and combining them according to each person’s request. I am not an expert on who you are, only you are! My job is to help you think and to provide you a safe place to work through the emotions and thoughts you have. It can be hard to find someone that will listen to you and allow you the space to honestly explore through difficult topics. I would like to be that person for you.

Maybe you need help dealing with stress, creating a new support system, maintaining healthy boundaries, developing a satisfying career, or growing a healthy financial life.
