Getting to know Chelsea Jefferson

Hi there, I'm Chelsea! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia with a passion for helping others. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Provider (CCTP) and an ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP). My approach I generally tailor my approach to the individual and their needs, always using a person-centered approach that focuses on the whole individual, not just the identified problem. I utilize techniques derived from interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, as well as psychodynamic and psychoanalytical approaches. I am big on using positive psychology and strengths-based methods to empower individuals. Additionally, I believe psychoeducation is the foundation for improvement. By providing educational information on mental health and human behavior, I help individuals better understand themselves and their experiences, enabling them to make lasting changes. My focus I am most experienced in treating individuals with trauma and the symptoms that often arise from those experiences, including anxiety and depression. My work has also given me insight and experience in treating ADHD in both children and adults. I typically work with people between the ages of 10 and 65 plus. My communication style I strive to create an environment that is both relaxed and comforting, where I am calm, supportive, personable, and down-to-earth. I take pride in actively listening to my clients' needs and experiences without judgment, reminding everyone I work with that this is their journey, and I am but a passenger. My journey to mental healthcare My own personal experiences influenced me to become a therapist. Almost ten years ago, I experienced a setback that led me to do some personal searching and reflection.
