Humanistic Therapists in North Logan, UT

I take joy in helping people overcome challenges that initially seem overwhelming. I know that starting the journey towards healing can be challenging, and I'm here to support and empower you through it. It's a privilege to get to work with you and to learn what will work for you in developing and using those tools for yourself.

I personally know what it is like to reach out for support. Everyone has a unique story, and therapy doesn’t look the same for any two people. I am committed to remaining curious, non-judgemental and open to understanding you. I believe that it is imperative to be grounded in evidence-based practices, I find it equally as important to be genuine and compassionate within this very connection-based work. I primarily utilize humanistic and narrative therapeutic approaches, and often incorporate other modalities to best address the unique needs of each person I work with. I am trained in and offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

Whether you are encountering personal problems, relationship issues, life adjustments, or confronting trauma; therapy has the potential to offer you support, consistency, and insight to help. I seek to address both the immediate presenting problems you are dealing with and the deeper, more long term issues that may be contributing as well. I value genuine connection, humor, suspending judgment, and supporting others in all phases of life in my therapeutic approach. Through the lens of these values I utilize a range of therapeutic modalities including; ACT, EMDR, MBCT, EFT, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and a humanistic approach.

As a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), my training is rooted in chronic illness and disability. While I am trained to treat a variety of mental health conditions, this patient population is near and dear to my heart.

Life has everything in it, but you only see what your perception allows you to see. You are the main character in your story, which is why I take a person-centered approach to counseling. There, of course, is a reason for the feelings you have in the here and now, such as trauma, etc. Working through those hurdles and finding your light again is my primary purpose. Healing the body, mind, and spirit together helps create you into the person you desire to be. As a person-centered counselor, I focus on how the client experiences life and, through that, facilitates therapeutic change. Now providing LENS Neurofeedback!

Chelsea holds advanced training in couple therapy (EFT). She understands the negative pattern that couples get stuck in that quickly takes over their relationship; those moments when you say something clearly to your partner and they hear something completely opposite of what your intentions were and before you know it, we are in a fight. Chelsea helps couples to understand those patterns and help to not get stuck in them. Individuals who are seen at her practice, understand distress in their lives and are able to make sense of it and find the tools to move forward in a way that feels right for them.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and working with teens and their parents. I know it can be difficult to navigate relationships, to feel connected to your partner, to experience depression and anxiety, to be faced with faith challenges, to not know how to deal with a past trauma, and to experience feelings of worthlessness and confusion with who you really are. It can feel difficult to know what steps to take to find peace and balance again. I believe in the ability to change as individuals, couples, and families and desire to meet you where you're at so you can get to where you want to be.

Navigating life can feel like trudging up a stream through knee-deep mud. When I experienced this myself, I found comfort in therapy but eventually started to feel frustrated when I felt like I was just getting really good at playing mind games with myself rather than feeling an embodied sense of peace and clarity. In parallel, I was noticing the same with my clients early in my career. I decided to learn everything I could about psychology and neuroscience and apply what I learned in my own life and in my practice. I have loved being able to help clients achieve embodied wellness by gently amplifying their natural capacity to heal.

Engaging in the honest conversations of therapy and feeling fully seen and fully understood leads to healing. These types of conversations can be rare in everyday life. I strive to foster a therapeutic relationship in which you can be genuine and vulnerable. As a psychologist I value warmth, acceptance, and patience. I bring years of clinical training as well as knowledge of research-based practices to therapy while also recognizing you as the expert of your own experience. With that in mind, I prioritize listening closely and tailoring our sessions to what you want from therapy.
