Hello, I'm Chelsea. My journey began in Barbados before moving to Canada during my formative years. I hold a degree in psychology and a Master’s in Special Education, and I've been practicing as a psychotherapist for the past two years. My passion is supporting children with special needs, particularly those on the autism spectrum, as well as teens struggling with anxiety and mood disorders. Seeing their progress and celebrating their successes brings immense joy. My dedication to this field is driven by a deep understanding of the challenges they face, informed by both personal and professional experiences.
Why Work with Me
I chose to specialize in working with children with special needs and teens with anxiety and mood disorders because I believe in the power of personalized, compassionate support. With specialized training in autism spectrum disorder and a background in Special Education, I am equipped to provide tailored strategies that promote holistic development and success. For those hesitant about therapy, it’s a space where understanding and addressing challenges can lead to significant growth. My goal is to help your child or youth achieve emotional balance, self-esteem, and resilience.
My Approach
My approach to therapy is holistic and personalized, emphasizing empathy and understanding. The individuals I work with can expect a nurturing and inclusive environment where their unique needs are met with tailored support. My methods include collaboration with families to ensure comprehensive care that extends beyond the therapy sessions. By integrating empathy, patience, and insight, I strive to make a positive impact on the lives of the children and teens I work with.
I am committed to providing personalized support and strategies that foster your child or youth's growth and success. If you have questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please feel free to reach out. I'm here to help guide you through the journey of supporting your loved one.
