Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Emily Chelso, a psychiatric nurse practitioner providing medication management to adults, adolescents, and seniors across Connecticut. I offer personalized psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, trauma, and relationship concerns, all through telehealth. I'd love to help you find a plan that works

My approach to therapy

My approach centers on collaborative, whole person psychiatric care. I work closely with each client to find the right medication plan, taking time to listen to what is and is not working, then adjusting from there. For clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues, I also draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to support lasting change alongside medication when it is a good fit. I see adults, adolescents, and seniors, and I aim to make every visit feel collaborative, not clinical.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I will ask about your history, your goals, and what has brought you to psychiatric care, and we will talk through options together, including medication and any additional support that could help. You will leave with a clear plan, and plenty of room to ask questions along the way.
