Hello! My name is Chelsea Vicario. I received a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Counseling from Radford University. The meaning of healing and growth looks different for everyone. I am here to help guide you to being your best self and to help you figure out what your healing and growth journey will look like. I have a passion for helping people reach their full potential.

I have experience working with people with dual diagnosis. I am a CSAC. I also have experience in private practice working with individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar, self-esteem issues and relationships concerns. I am a strong ally for the LGBTQ+ community and truly enjoy working with this population. I truly believe that healthy boundaries, healthy coping skills and a positive mindset can change a person’s life for the better.

I use a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy and a solution focused approach to help you reach your specific goals and start your path to healing. I know it can be difficult to start therapy, but I will provide an environment to help you feel comfortable as you start the therapeutic process.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Norfolk

Finding the right addiction therapist in Norfolk starts with identifying the type of support you need. Addiction and substance use concerns vary widely — from alcohol or drug use to behavioral patterns like compulsive gambling or spending. A licensed therapist or psychiatrist who specializes in addiction can work with you to determine an approach that fits your situation, whether that includes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, or another method.

Norfolk and the broader Hampton Roads area have a range of mental health providers, but narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most to you — a provider's experience with a specific type of addiction, whether they offer virtual or in-person appointments, and how their communication style comes through in their bio. A free phone consultation can also help you gauge whether a provider feels like the right match before committing to a full session.

Addiction therapy in Norfolk can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an addiction specialist who accepts your coverage.
