Getting to know Chelsea Ward

Hello, I'm Chelsea Ward-Smith, and I'm glad you're here. With several years of experience, I specialize in working with adolescents aged 13 to 17, adults, elders, LGBTQIA individuals, couples, families, and multicultural clients. My journey in mental health has equipped me to handle a variety of challenges, including eating disorders, addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-identity issues, and career counseling, among others. I am particularly confident in my cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) skills and solution-focused techniques. These approaches allow me to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors, and to develop practical solutions to life's challenges. I believe in a collaborative process where we work together to set goals and find the best path forward. Currently, I am working towards my CACII addiction specialty, which will further enhance my ability to support clients dealing with addiction. It's important to note that I strictly treat children and adolescents from ages 13 to 17 years old, ensuring that they receive the focused care they need during these critical developmental years. Therapy with me is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. My goal is to help you navigate life's transitions, manage stress, and build healthier relationships. Whether you're dealing with trauma, grief, or simply need someone to talk to, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Outside of my professional life, I value diversity and inclusivity, and I strive to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and understood. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you achieve your mental health goals. If you're ready to take the next step, please reach out. Let's embark on this journey together.
