Chelsea Lynch (She/Her/They)

As a therapist, I am an expert in working with self-harm because I possess a deep understanding and empathy for the complex emotions and struggles that individuals face when engaging in self-harming behaviors. Through years of specialized training and experience, I have developed a comprehensive knowledge of the underlying psychological factors that contribute to self-harm, such as feelings of low self-worth, emotional distress, and difficulty coping with overwhelming emotions.

I understand the unique and complex challenges faced by ind. of sexual abuse and assault, recognizing the profound impact it can have on their emotional, psychological, and physical well-being. Through years of experience, I have honed my skills in creating a safe env. where survivors can feel heard, validated, and empowered to share their experiences at their own pace. I am well-versed in evidence-based trauma therapies and techniques, and I continuously educate myself on best practices.

I have dedicated my career to understanding the complexities of codependency and its impact on individuals' lives. Through specialized training and ongoing professional development, I have gained deep insights into the underlying causes and dynamics of codependency, such as childhood experiences, attachment styles, and enabling behaviors. I possess a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, creating a safe space for individuals to explore their codependent patterns.

I am an expert in utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support individuals on their path to healing and emotional well-being. DBT aligns perfectly with these values as it emphasizes validation, empathy, and creating a safe space for clients to feel seen and heard. Through the compassionate application of DBT, I help clients cultivate resilience and develop the inner strength to navigate life's challenges.

Through IFS, I can provide empathy and understanding, allowing individuals to feel validated and accepted in their experiences. IFS is highly effective in promoting personal growth and resilience. By exploring the different parts of one's internal system, clients can cultivate resilience and develop the inner strength necessary to overcome challenges. I believe in the transformative power of human connection, and IFS prioritizes building authentic relationships with clients.

This approach allows me to provide deep empathy and understanding, facilitating a sense of validation and acceptance for clients' experiences. Brainspotting is also highly effective in promoting personal growth and resilience. By accessing the brain's natural capacity for healing, Brainspotting helps clients tap into their innate potential and supports them in becoming better versions of themselves. I firmly believe in the power of human connection, and Brainspotting does this.
