Personal Statement
Seeking support through Blowfish Therapy Inc. will provide you with a counseling experience unlike others. By this, I mean that I am not your typical therapist. I’m real and often find it easy to relate to others. Talking about sex and historically taboo subjects are some of my favorite things on the docket! Clinical jargon isn’t used too much, but profanity is! Moreover, I don’t pretend to have figured out all of life’s challenges. I struggle too, but continue to do my own work and practice embracing my flaws. I can help you do the same.
I'm Chelsea, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) in CA. I was a social worker for Child Protective Services for 10 years within foster care & adoptions, and also worked at an in-patient psychiatric hospital. Currently, I'm a school psychologist & maintain a private practice - Blowfish Therapy Inc. Clients that tend to feel most comfortable with me are often able to connect or feel acceptance based on one the following:
- LGBTQ+
- Parenting
- Millennials
- Blended Family
- Liberals
- Potty Mouths
- Self-Critics
- Students
- Sex
- Use of humor
- Sensitive Hearts.
I've you need support or direction, I can help.
I believe everyone is doing the best they can with the tools they have. We don't know what we don't know! That's where I come in! Not as some all-knowing, higher power - I too feel like a hot mess much of the time - but as someone who can help bring about insight, awareness, reflection, & hope. Please look at my website or reach out for a free phone consult.
My role is not to give you advice or change you. Rather, it's to be an understanding, empathic, & non-judgmental support to help guide you to your own choices. There’s no way around the sh*t life throws our way, but you're not alone. I can walk through the sh*t with you, giving you some cool tools to help with the journey.
