LCSW
Accepting Clients

Hi, I'm Chelsy. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 7 years of clinical experience living in Southern California.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Torrance, CA

About My Clients

My practice focuses on providing support to those who are pregnant, postpartum, coping with perinatal loss or navigating early parenthood. I also offer couples counseling to birth persons and their partners to prepare for baby and grow together during this major life transition. I strive to create a brave space for my client's to be vulnerable, honest, and share their experiences without judgement. I hope to get the opportunity to work with you and empower you during new journey.

My Background and Approach

I have trainings and certifications in various treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Managing and Adapting Practice and Trauma-Focused CBT. I also have completed training through Postpartum International in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, Advanced Perinatal Psychotherapy, and Perinatal Loss. I operate from a strengths based perspective and cater treatment to the individual needs of the client. I love transparency and welcome honest feedback and discussion of interventions and tools learned in our sessions.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a member of the LGBTQ community and also am the older sibling of a sister who is transgender and another who is a lesbian. I strive to make my practice inclusive and service all birth persons and couples. I support the voices and movements of those who have been marginalized by systems of oppression and strongly believe in the importance of increasing access to mental health services.
