Family therapy and counseling in North Dakota

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.

As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.

I am a compassionate psychiatric provider that is dedicated to my practice. I started my psychiatric career as a technician in forensic psychiatry. I worked with individuals who had comitted crimes and were either attempting to determine competency, or were found not guilty by reason of insanity. As my education blossomed, I began working as a nurse on a child and adolescent crisis stabilization unit. I found a massive love for child and adolescent psychiatry and spent most of my career working crisis stabilization and residential psychiatric care for children and adolescents. This gave me significant experience working with many different cultures. After I graduated with my doctorate, I began working psychiatric outpatient. I now see patients of all ages (children 4+, adolescents, adults and geriatric). I thrive on a strong therapeutic relationship and making sure my patients feel heard. I am open minded and non-bias. You are safe with me.

Some people come to therapy when things fall apart. A lot of people come after they've held it together for so long they don't know how to stop. I'm Chelsea, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I work with veterans, adolescents, and adults navigating PTSD, trauma, and anxiety that has become part of daily life. I also work with new and expecting mothers experiencing the mental health shifts that don't always get talked about. Clients often describe me as warm, focused, and genuinely invested in making progress.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Army veteran, and Wyoming native, now practicing in North Dakota. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of North Dakota and bring years of clinical experience supporting individuals and couples through life’s challenges.

I specialize in helping clients heal from all types of trauma—including complex, developmental, relational, and military trauma—as well as navigate relationship difficulties, anxiety, self-doubt, and life transitions. I use a holistic, eclectic approach, incorporating Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), EMDR, and Solution-Focused Therapy, along with mindfulness and trauma-informed care.

My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can explore your experiences, understand patterns that may be holding you back, and rebuild self-compassion and confidence. Healing isn’t about perfection—it’s about growth, connection, and reclaiming your sense of peace.
