Grief Therapists in Boise, ID

As you look for a therapist you might feel very vulnerable, desperate, or fed up with your struggles. I want to help you, whatever your motivations are and however ready you are to change, whether you’re wondering if there’s a problem, you feel lost and confused, or you’re ready to change and you want to start today. At the beginning you might need a safe, accepting presence to help you view yourself clearly and with kindness. You might need someone to help you break free of painful patterns, sort out your feelings to make a tough decision, or make changes you keep trying to make but your efforts never seem to stick.

Hello, I am glad that you're here. My name is Chelsea, I earned my Masters Degree in Social Work from Boise State University. My focus of study during my Masters degree has been around anxiety, depression and addiction. From my previous internships I worked with social workers to help veterans secure housing, emotional and mental stability and locate internal and community resources. My training allowed me many hours of clinical experience working along side highly skilled counselors and providers to help individuals struggling with addiction and trauma. Additionally, much of my training included working with children and families.

I use EMDR and talk therapy to assist each person to build insight and awareness and help you live your best life. I specialize in trauma, for some it's a single traumatic event and for others it can be multiple smaller events. These issues often present as depression, anxiety, lack of motivation or choosing to keep busy all the time. Please feel free to message me to ask about the process or set up a consultation.

From the moment I discovered what counseling really was, I knew it was my personal and professional calling. Since that time I have had a wealth of experiences that have confirmed that being a counselor is simply what I am meant to do. Winston Churchill once said, "If you're going through hell, keep going." What better way to get through dark times in your life than to bring along someone who is dedicated to keeping you from getting stuck there?

Accepting NEW In Person and Telehealth Clients- If you are feeling overwhelmed or stressed, having a harder time finding joy in everyday activities, or coping with a major life change, you are not alone, these are very human things to be going through. When we have hard times in life, it can cause us to act in ways that are not helpful to who we want to be. Whether you are struggling with reoccurring issues, are unable to cope in a healthy way, or simply want more peace in your life, counseling can help. I primarily focus on working with adolescents and individuals struggling with addiction.

I believe that in therapy, the focus should first be on learning to gain acceptance of ourselves. I feel that our beliefs about ourselves are paramount because they shape the beliefs that we have about other people and in turn, the rest of our environment. After we identify the beliefs about ourselves that need to be adjusted, we can work on how to improve those beliefs, which will improve our interactions with others and the way that we see the world. I look forward to helping others with that process.

Currently accepting Emergency Responders (Police officers, Fire Fighters, and Paramedics) and Military Members for individual and couples counseling. My passion is supporting those who support and serve our local, national and global community, with an approach that is direct, educational, and humorous (Okay, attempts at humor.) From 2008-2014 I worked across the US, Europe and Japan, as a rotational counselor supporting military. It was a difficult choice to leave that work, but since my return to Idaho, I've really appreciated still being able to serve by supporting our Idaho's Emergency Responder community and Military.

I work with adults and older adults (65+) who struggle with a wide range of mental illness issues. Together, we will identify areas of growth and change that you would like to make. I help you identify beliefs about yourself which can cause anxiety and depression. We will work together to resolve your limiting beliefs and replace them with realistic/truthful statements about yourself.

My ideal client wants to engage in positive change and seeks support in making those steps. I come from over twenty years of service in a diverse array of client age (2-96), ability, ethnicity, social class, and needs. Naturally we are all very unique creatures with some goals and experiences that overlap with those around us. My goal is to support clients to navigate through their challenges and hardships. In time, supporting them to make the most of their story and being able to reach their ideal version of self.

I was originally trained as a generalist therapist. This means I am able to work efficiently with a wide range of clients. My specialty is with those who have faced identity based trauma. Identity based trauma includes experiencing trauma on the basis of being in a marginalized community such as race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc.. I also specialize in workplace fatigue/stress. I acknowledge our society encourages a growing list of demands with little compensation or value to care/rest. I help these individuals find a balance in their routine.

I am accepting new clients! Do you or your child struggle with low self-esteem, self-doubt, depression, and anxiety? Perhaps you or your child may also struggle with impatience, short temper, or anger management issues. Do you feel like your feelings are discounted and rejected by others? Are there too many upsets in your own day or do others make your days more complicated? I can help you reduce depression, teach you coping skills to adjust to anxiety, depression, stress and low self esteem. I work with individuals and families and help develop better coping skills and ways to get along more productively.

Life can be difficult at times and sometimes thinking can get bogged down by outside influences or past trauma bringing forward movement to a halt. My counseling services help you redirect your thoughts and energy to help you break out of the rut and move forward.

Are you a helping professional, who feels drawn to something MORE in your purpose and profession?

Professional Mentorship is meant for mental health therapists, healthcare providers, energy healers, anyone working 1x1 with direct-client care, as we are on the front-lines and require a higher level of support.

As a counselor, I strive to provide a safe, trusting, and open therapeutic environment for my clients. Allowing my clients to be vulnerable during the counseling process is an important component to healing and creating their change. Being mindfully present with my clients is among my core beliefs. I believe that being able to process through emotional difficulties, life adjustments, or mental health struggles can positively impact our daily function in all aspects of life.
