Hi there, I'm Chelsea!

My name is Chelsea Poulos and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW). I have worked for the past several years with children aged 0-5 and their entire family as they navigate the challenges and stresses that come with everyday life.

My approach

I love meeting clients where they are at and setting goals together to meet their needs. My approach is attachment based and solution oriented, but varies depending on your overall needs and needs that day.

My focus

I have a lot of experience and am comfortable working with those experiencing challenges that come with our daily life. This includes but is not limited to parenting/raising children, behavior or developmental concerns, relationships, anxiety, stress and trauma.

My communication style

I tend to be a bit on the quieter side to allow you to have a calm, safe space to share and grow. I actively listen and engage honestly to support your needs.

My journey to mental healthcare

My experience in the early childhood and early intervention world drove me to explore how to better support others in a more clinical and personal setting. I am passionate about helping others find themselves at whatever stage of life they may be!

My goals for you

I like to meet you where you are at and work together to set goals, whether those are big, long-term goals or more short-term. We will work to build trust as we set and accomplish these goals.

My first session with you

During the first session you can expect me to ask some questions to better understand where you’re at and what you’d like to work on, but also the opportunity for you to share as openly as you wish about yourself. We will start to build trust and comfort with one another gradually as we learn about each other.
