About me
Welcome, nice to meet you! Dr. Heather Chelton earned her Doctorate of Social Work and is a compassionate LCSW with almost 20 years experience in many different clinical settings including residential, school-based, community health, outpatient and higher education. Highly skilled to work with preteens, adolescents and adults from a trauma informed lens on many different mental health issues including anxiety, depression, at-risk behaviors, life changes and transitions, anger and behavioral issues, stress, grief and loss, interpersonal and school-based issues.
Establishing rapport and connection is most important to healing. No problem is too big or small for therapy. My client centered approach is individualized, collaborative and judgement free grounded in evidenced based treatment modalities from CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Somatic Healing, Mindfulness and EFT Tapping.
During sessions, clients can expect to feel safe, validated and empowered to heal, gain perspective, and healthy coping skills. You will feel encouragement to get "unstuck"' as we join together towards healing, resilience and accomplishing treatment goals. It is an honor to join you on your healing journey. Relief and living a meaningful and happy life is in reach!
