Hi, I’m Chelsea

I understand that sometimes life just feels like a lot. As a neurodivergent mom of two and a professional over-thinker who realized that 'having it all together' is a myth, and so much freedom comes from healing old hurts and radically accepting who we are. 
 
Encounter Counseling is my space to work with people who are tired of the mask. Whether you’re navigating a neurodivergent world, trying to stop fighting with your reflection, or wondering why you can't just 'relax,' I’m here to help you get curious instead of critical.
I don’t believe in being a blank-slate therapist. I bring my real self to our sessions—questions, funny stories, and a whole lot of empathy.
We’ll find a way through the mess, one honest conversation at a time.
 
I'm glad you're here.

Care focused on you—not insurance requirements.

Encounter Counseling is a private-pay practice. Working outside of insurance allows for greater privacy, flexibility, and individualized care tailored to your unique needs.

If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill for possible reimbursement.

50-Minute Session Fee: $160

Starting therapy doesn't have to be complicated.

  1. Schedule a 15-Minute Consultation

    We’ll hop on a quick video call to see if we are a good fit.  This gives you an opportunity to ask questions and me an opportunity to tell you a little bit about my counsleing process. No pressure, just a talk.

  2. Complete Paperwork 

    I will send you some paperwork to fill out on the client portal prior to our first session.  We will cover qny questions at the beginning of your first session. 

  3. Define the Mess & Make a Plan

    In our first session, we'll look at what's weighing you down and map out how you want to heal.
