ABOUT ME
Hello and welcome!
I’m Chelsea, a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Connecticut with over a decade of experience in the mental health field — and almost 10 years working directly with children, adolescents, and families in school-based and outpatient settings.
Much of my professional journey has been dedicated to expanding my knowledge in child development, play therapy, emotional neuroscience, somatic work and intuitive approaches to healing.
I tailor therapy to each client’s personality and developmental stage using a combination of play-based techniques and emotional skill-building while supporting parents to identify tools that work for them.
While the tools matter, the relationship matters more. The effectiveness of the interventions grows from the strength of the therapeutic relationship, one that meets a person where they are and offers unconditional acceptance.
