In her practice, Chelsea integrates evidence-based modalities such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Gottman Couples Therapy. Chelsea uses EMDR to help clients process trauma and/or for management of anxiety, depression, and other mood disturbances.
