I love supporting individuals experiencing symptoms from trauma, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, codependency, and low self-worth/self-esteem. We will explore how the previous experiences you've encountered and the relationships you have had in your life impact the way we view ourselves and interact with the world around us. I like to use a variety of tools to aid in symptom management while also working with the root cause. My practice is trauma-informed and attachment-focused.

Together we'll uncover thought and behavioural patterns that are impacting your life, while also exploring their functions and why they began, before implementing any new strategies for change. I will always meet you where you are at in the process and we will work together to meet your goals.

Feel free to reach out and book a complimentary consultation if you'd like to explore whether my therapy approach aligns well with your needs and goals for therapy! You can find find more information on my website, www.chelseagaytherapy.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
