Chelsea Dillavou, LCSW

Psychotherapist

Life has a way of piling on — sometimes all at once. If you've landed here, you may be carrying something heavy: old wounds that never quite healed, a season of life that nobody really warned you about, or other circumstances that have become overwhelming. I've been doing this work for 21 years, and I still find it meaningful every day. My approach is warm, direct, and (hopefully) funny because laughter and healing are not mutually exclusive, and therapy doesn't have to be something you dread. I'll take your struggles seriously without taking either of us too seriously.
