I find I focus on each person as an individual and love to take a collaborative approach with you to find the best way to meet your personal goals. I believe in authenticity as a part of the therapeutic approach as a way to connect and cooperate with you. "People cannot change other people, only themselves." - Unknown. I believe this quote is important when considering if you are ready for therapy. As a therapist, I am happy to walk along with you on your journey and provide you with information, education, support, and kindness as you make the changes you are ready to. I believe anyone can benefit from counseling and taking that first step can be intimidating and well worth it!

My name is Chelsea Sharshel and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Addiction Counselor. I have been trained to support clients with issues that may include: communication, trauma, anxiety, anger management, low motivation, family issues, and addiction. My style is casual and friendly. I utilize modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brainspotting, Narrative Therapy, or Motivational Interviewing. There are many different styles of therapy and I like to combine some to fit each person’s needs. It’s kind of like having different spices and combining them according to each person’s request. I am not an expert on who you are, only you are! My job is to help you think and to provide you a safe place to work through the emotions and thoughts you have. It can be hard to find someone that will listen to you and allow you the space to honestly explore through difficult topics. I would like to be that person for you.

Hello! I am a License Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado. I am also a Veteran of the United States Air Force. I spent the past four years working in an inpatient program for men coming out of prison and into community corrections. It has taught me about the will and drive to overcome addictions and family history/traumas. The men I worked with inspired me everyday. My approach to counseling is person centered. You are in charge of what you want to work on. I am an expert of the process of change, but not on you. When we challenge our thoughts, our behavior and actions will change. This is usually the way I would challenge someone who would like to change whatever is causing them discomfort. I don't give advice as that is not what therapists do. I work with you and help guide you to a better understanding of your issue and then we work together to find a plan to fix the discomfort you were experiencing. I look forward to having the chance to work with you!

I am a licensed psychotherapist in Colorado and Oklahoma with an emphasis on family and marital therapy. I have over 10 years of experience assisting others with their personal growth and expanding limited mindsets in a deliberate and conscious way. Throughout all of my sessions, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental, and private space for clients to effectively and productively express their emotions. I specialize in breaking generational trauma/curses, inner childhood wounds, religious (including LDS) trauma, substance/drug abuse, anxiety, depression, creating healthy boundaries, toxic perfectionism, body positivity, limited beliefs, LGBTQ+ issues, couple's counseling, conflict resolution, and pornography addiction. I also deal with topics such as sex therapy, sexual dysfunction, sexual infidelity, and low libido. I have extensive background in evidenced-based therapies, such as narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, and mindfulness practice. I will tailor my approach towards the client based on the client's own preferences and needs in therapy. Throughout our sessions, I will help you formulate various coping strategies and goals to help you grow. If you ever feel that you are in need of urgent help or in a crisis, please call 1-800-273-TALK 24 hours a day; or 911. This platform currently does not have any emergency services available, so I want to ensure that you have the proper resources to get the help you need in the event of crisis. It takes an incredible amount of courage and awareness to reach out for help. My ultimate goal is to guide you in the direction of healing and personal growth; if you feel that you are ready, I will be here to unconditionally support and empower you every step of the way.
