About Chelsea Chang

Chelsea has been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2019, and has experience supporting young adults and adults with concerns such as addictions, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship/ family issues, and anger management. Her ideal client would like to resolve these issues by empowering themselves to learn how to counter negative thoughts, regulate emotions, tolerate moments of distress, communicate effectively, and mindfully stay within the present moment. Chelsea's ideal client would like to learn these skills in order to manifest their ideal life and be the best version of themselves.

FAQs

I helped a client recently with a breakthrough on their resilience and how they viewed day to day life struggles and distress tolerance skills. It boosted her confidence in her abilities to get through the hard times and improve her quality of life and mental health. A stressful situation one day would have normally made her spiral but she was able to persevere with the coping skills we discussed in session like mindfulness and radical acceptance.

Inquisitive getting to know them and establishing a rapport in our therapeutic relationship, and then collaborative on treatment plan goals. Meeting a client where they are at, while also challenging them to help accompish their goals.

The first session I would discuss confidentiality, policies, and other logistical things to make sure we are on the same page. Then, I would ask questions about history, background, health, family, relationships, mental health symptoms, and treatment plan goals and interventions we can do to help accomplish the goals. The first session typically takes an hour long.

I became a therapist because I know how important therapy was to my self-improvement and healing. We are all human beings trying to live life to the fullest, but we often face daily stressors that can get in the way of reaching our greatest potential. I learned that caring for my mental health is empowering, and I want to empower others to do the same.
