Chelsey Winkle

If you are living with trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, or long term patterns that are hard to break, you do not have to keep doing it alone. Many of the people I work with feel stuck between wanting change and not knowing where to start. I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 10 years of experience supporting people with trauma, substance use, and co occurring or dual diagnosis concerns. My work is grounded in trauma informed care and evidence based approaches including DBT, CBT, CPT, Motivational Interviewing, and other person centered, experiential tools.

Together we will build practical skills to manage emotions, cravings, and relationship stress, while also making sense of the experiences that led you here. My style is compassionate, direct, and focused on helping you create steady progress rather than quick fixes.

I provide online therapy in the evenings so care can fit into your real life. If this resonates with you, reach out through my website!

I am trained in trauma-informed care and certified in shame-informed care. I am also DBT certified and work collaboratively with clients to build individualized, client-centered treatment plans that align with their goals, values, and strengths.

During the first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I’ll complete a basic assessment, review relevant history, and use outcome tools to help clarify concerns and identify treatment goals. This session is collaborative, supportive, and focused on helping you feel comfortable and informed as we begin working together.
