Chelsea Kirkpatrick MCP, RCC

In my practice, I assist clients in living fulfilling lives through discovering their authentic selves. I take a deep, compassionate, and non-judgmental interest in my clients’ inner experience. In my view, all concerns are valuable and important to explore. Through this exploration process, clients can grow in self-acceptance and in turn, make life choices they can wholeheartedly stand behind. I’ve had many deep encounters with clients who inspire me to continue. In my current practice, I enjoy working with adults bringing a range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, sexuality, relationships, addiction, life transitions, and trauma.

Therapy can be an intimidating process. I value the bravery it takes to embark on something so vulnerable. Ultimately, it is essential that you feel deeply seen and understood and I feel passionate about cultivating a strong connection as we work together. I look forward to meeting with you and building trust and safety together. 

When I’m not practicing or studying therapy you can likely find me spending quality time with people or potatoes.
