Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Louisville, KY

Imagine ordering a new recliner from a store. You are so excited when it arrives to your home. What they don't tell you is that they the people who delivered it will just drop it off and leave. What they also don't tell you is that on the side of the box it has a picture with two stick figures carrying the box together. You try to lift it and you simply can't. That's the same idea when we deal with our problems we go through in life. We try to "lift" them on our own, when simply can't. This is where I come in.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and panic disorders and mild to moderate OCD, as well as trauma and depression.

My style is direct, supportive and goal oriented with emphasis on what the client wants to work on. I use humor as well!

Hi, I'm Chelsea. My philosophy is deeply rooted into self awareness. The 6 types of basic emotion are sadness, happiness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust. Sometimes we experience the emotions but don’t have the words to describe them. Sometimes we can explain exactly how we feel but struggle to show it. Though we may not have control over the cause of our life obstacles, we have the power of choice and ultimate control over our reaction to said struggles. Knowing the 6 basic emotions and our reactions when experiencing them is the beginning of self awareness. Being self aware affects both our inter- and intrapersonal connections.
