Chelsea Sutter

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 24 mi away • Tustin, CA


I specialize in working with adults experiencing burnout, chronic stress/anxiety, trauma, and neurodivergence. As a neurodivergent therapist who has navigated my own experiences with burnout, I understand how exhausting it can be to constantly feel "on" for everyone else. I’m especially passionate about supporting helping professionals, caregivers, and high-achieving folks who spend so much energy caring for others that they forget to care for themselves. I also bring my full personality into the therapy room (including humor, authenticity, and the occasional slightly twisted joke) when the moment calls for it.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Ontario

Searching for therapists in Ontario starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience matches your needs. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a major life transition. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that line up with what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can help you understand their style, training, and what sessions may be like before you book.

Ontario offers local therapy options, and expanding your search to virtual appointments can give you more choice across California. Some people prefer meeting in person when an office location fits their schedule. Others prefer virtual sessions because they reduce travel time and make appointment times easier to fit into the week. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also help you compare communication style and decide who may be a strong fit.

Therapy in Ontario can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and are available for in-person or virtual care. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for therapists available in your area. You can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost before booking, then review profiles and book directly when you’re ready.
