Chelsea Proctor

Hi there! My name is Chelsea and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In the past I've worked with a variety of clients of all ages and backgrounds. I have worked with individuals facing a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress management, low self-esteem, life transitions, challenges with relationships and communication, among other concerns.

I enjoy working with clients who have specific goals they would like to work towards, however, I genuinely feel that anyone can benefit from therapy, and I would like to assist others in working towards bettering their mental health and overall wellbeing.

My goal is to empower clients to reach their goals, so they can learn tools and techniques to help them build upon their strengths and manage mental health symptoms. Eventually, my hope is for all of my clients to feel they are in a place where they can manage symptoms and life stressors on their own, through utilizing the skills they've learned throughout therapy.

I take an eclectic, collaborative approach, choosing techniques that fit each client's needs. I meet clients where they're at and address their top concerns each session, integrating client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. I do my best to provide a nonjudgmental space wherein the clients I work with can feel comfortable to share their concerns.

In the first session with clients, I primarily focus on asking a variety of questions to better get to know the client and what concerns they would like to address in therapy. I also use the first session to discuss client expectations, any past experiences with therapy, and important information regarding scheduling, confidentiality, and the structure of sessions.
