Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Eau Claire, WI

Chelsea is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate behavioral health services to individuals of all ages and backgrounds. With a focus on creating a safe and supportive environment, I believe in the power of being seen, heard, and valued in the journey towards mental wellness.

I am passionate about ongoing education and staying informed about advancements in psychiatric care, ensuring that I am informed by the latest research and best practices. My goal is to provide comprehensive and compassionate care that not only alleviates symptoms but also fosters long-term mental health and resilience.

As a licensed therapist in Wisconsin, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on understanding each client's unique journey, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, stress, and family dynamics. I am deeply committed to helping clients navigate challenging life transitions, from workplace stress and relationship difficulties to personal growth and self-discovery. My therapeutic practice focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.

My work spans a wide range of focus areas, including social anxiety, trauma recovery, mood disorders, attachment challenges, and multicultural concerns. I particularly enjoy supporting young adults, men, women, and families as they work through complex emotional experiences and seek greater self-understanding and resilience.

By integrating evidence-based approaches with empathetic, client-centered care, I aim to empower individuals to reconnect with their inner strengths, build self-compassion, and create more fulfilling lives.

When drinking, using, or a pattern you can't seem to break has started running the show, or anxiety, grief, or depression has piled on top of everything else, it can feel like no one sees the whole picture. Seeing the whole picture is what I've spent thirty years doing. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor in Wisconsin with more than 10 years as a therapist, and before that, more than 20 years as a case manager for adults with mental health conditions and disabilities. I've sat beside people on their hardest days. That's where I learned to be an advocate.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, life transitions, chronic health concerns using a lifestyle medicine–informed approach. Many clients feel overwhelmed managing both mental health symptoms and physical conditions, while balancing work, relationships, and caregiving demands. Often high-functioning yet exhausted, they carry a significant mental and physical load and feel disconnected from their needs or direction. This work focuses on restoring stability by addressing the behavioral and lifestyle factors that influence overall health.

Dignity. Honoring the inherent dignity of each individual. Celebrating the uniqueness of those with whom I work, my patients and their families alike.

Excellence in practice. Valuing life-long learning and continual practice improvement. Highly skilled at managing complex medication regimens, and working with clients in developing both prescribing and de-prescribing plans.

I come with over 34 years of Clinical eperience. I am open to help anyone willing to do the work to change and make a better life for themselves.
