Hi! My name is Chelsea, and I’m glad you’re here!

Before we begin working together, I want you to have a sense of who I am—not just as a therapist but as a person. This section offers a glimpse into the values, experiences, and everyday moments that shape how I show up in the therapy room. My hope is that this section helps you feel at ease as you consider taking the next step in your healing journey.

  • Hi! My name is Chelsea, and I am a native Houstonian and fourth-generation Texan who identifies as Afro-Latina. I hold a BSW and MSW from Baylor University and have been a licensed social worker in Texas since 2016. I have a decade of clinical experience working in a variety of settings, including victim services, foster care, disaster and humanitarian relief, and mental health.

  • My practice is grounded in culturally responsive, equity-centered care that recognizes how structural and systemic factors shape mental health and recovery. I strive to create a space where individuals feel seen, respected, and empowered in their healing process. Centering client autonomy, I collaborate with individuals to build on their strengths, foster resilience, and support meaningful, sustainable change. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with a deep commitment to social justice, honoring each person’s lived experience while working toward long-term healing and well-being.

  • What I enjoy most about being a therapist is walking alongside people as they begin to see themselves and their lives differently. I value helping others recognize their strengths and cultivate hope for their futures, even when things feel uncertain. There’s something deeply meaningful about supporting someone as they find a sense of peace within themselves and reconnect with what matters most to them.

  • Long walks where I can slow down, listen to the sounds of nature, and really notice the world around me. There’s something grounding about simply existing in those moments. It brings me a deep sense of peace and comfort.

  • I would love to take a long road trip across the USA with my family and Goldendoodle, exploring as many national parks as possible.
