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 and young adults 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 and young adults 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. I aim to help your child, youth, or yourself 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 collaborating with families to ensure comprehensive care beyond 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 growth and success for your child, youth, or yourself. 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.
