Getting to know Chelsea Sherman
Hello, it's nice to meet you. My name is Chelsea and I am an independently licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been providing therapy for several years now, and prior to that worked in the field of various disabilities and abilities in a variety of settings, such as job coaching, group home settings, Director of Waiver Case Management, school therapist, etc. This experience has helped me to gain a lot of knowledge about the world, challenges and barriers, that many people face today, especially when struggling with disabilities, mental health diagnoses, physical disabilities, chronic pain, lower socio-economic status, etc.
My approach as a support person, whether that be as a therapist or otherwise, is to be person-centered and client-driven. I have experience and knowledge with many modalities, like CBT, DBT, PCIT, and others, but ultimately, my expertise is meeting people where they are, and going at the pace that feels right for their journey. I listen to what people would like to work on, and the challenges in their life they want to face, through a lens that is nonjudgmental and non-shaming.
I have a lot of lived and professional experience with the population of Neurodiversity, including ADHD, ASD, and challenging behavioral concerns in children, teenagers, and the like. My youngest client to date is 1.5 years old, up to 99 years old, and I have enjoyed or grown from what every person has brought to the "couch" so to speak.

In my free time, I like to learn, I really love documentaries about various topics, hanging out with my family and friends, cooking and eating delicious food, and overall - finding time to laugh as much as possible.
I look forward to meeting you!

Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you. Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, a behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.

exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
o be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
