LIVING CITY COUNSELING
Therapy for Teens, Adults, & Families
Growth, Healing, & Self-Discovery
We come across a lot of experiences as humans, and sometimes life just feels hard. Whether you’re struggling with a specific issue, or one of those general challenges of being a human - you’re not meant to do it alone, and the therapeutic relationship can be a powerful tool to help.
Therapy with me is a co-created, safe space. I offer warm, direct, and compassionate dialogue that welcomes all of your experiences and emotions. I can help navigate balancing the needs for understanding, acceptance, and action in your life – collaborating around individualized and practical tools along the way. I show up as myself in the therapy room- integrating humor, story telling, and metaphors. I’m spirited, imperfect, and whole – hopefully allowing you to be your whole self with me. My aspiration for our work together is that you find self-compassion, curiosity, and meaning in your life, and that your relationships are enriched as a result.
About Me
Hi, I'm Chelsea (she/her) and I'm glad you're here. I was born and raised in the Los Angeles area, coming to Portland in 2016. I feel so much gratitude for the greenery of Oregon, and try to get outside with my partner, babe, and pup any chance I get. I love the food scene in Portland, and make a point of trying new restaurants often. I love watching (Dodger) baseball, learning about new things, hosting friends and family, and embracing my creativity through gardening and design.
I hold a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Oregon.
I aim to create an environment supportive to people with all body sizes/shapes, abilities, genders, sexual orientations, relationship statuses, races and ethnicities, and religious affiliations. I am committed to anti-racist work in my life and the therapy room. I'm also learning how to continuously do better here, and I'm open to your feedback!
