Background

Welcome
Navigating through our human journey can be daunting, and everyone can benefit from support along the way. My role as a therapist is to help you gain more insight into the nature of your inner world and a greater perspective of your outer circumstances so that you can become empowered to create the intentional and meaningful life that you truly desire. With compassion and deep presence, we will identify unconscious patterns that are limiting you so that you can gain the awareness and tools needed to create effective changes for yourself.

While I work with diverse individuals from all walks of life, I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ community and regularly integrate EMDR into treatment. I utilize a social justice lens to explore intersecting identities and the impact of privilege/oppression on mental health. My approach is holistic, integrating the mind/body/spirit.

Our relationship is intended to restore balance, build resilience, and transform suffering. Together we will create a container for self-discovery in which you can evolve and expand in ways beyond what you imagine as possible.

Finding a therapist who is the right fit for you is essential. I offer a free initial 15 minute phone consultation, and invite you to call me so we can discuss your needs and determine if we are well matched Please see my website for more details: www.ChelseaDeMarteMFT.com
