Chelsea Staver

Hi there! How's the search for a therapist going? Amidst your sea of options, here's what you need to know about me: I use holistic approaches that value my clients’ trust in their own body and emotions. I specialize in religious trauma, postpartum, and parenthood issues, depression, anxiety, and other traumas. I am a sex-positive LGBTQ+ ally who is HAES aligned. I support Black Lives Matter. Let's talk if that feels in alignment with what you're looking for.

I have been providing individual and couples therapy since I graduated with my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2015, and I specialize in treating adults.

I seek to facilitate change rather than direct it and use a person-centered approach to that end. Other modalities that I incorporate regularly are Internal Family Systems, DBT, and EMDR. I also utilize self-compassion, somatic experiencing, and mindfulness techniques in sessions.

In a first session, I'm asking questions to get some context on who you are, where you've come from, and most importantly, your needs and goals for therapy. We're also checking to make sure you're vibing with my style and that you feel safe and seen in my presence.
