Chelsea Brutto

My communication style

I set clear and open channels of communication in treatment. I encourage and invite a collaborative discussion on what types of communication best fit the client and the session. Active listening and assertive communication skills are not only practiced outside of session and I encourage clients to begin practicing these skills within session.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had an interest in human behavior and how one interacts with their internal and external world. I come from the person in environment perspective which puts emphasis on how people are shaped and reshaped through their life experiences. I have developed a deeper knowledge of the human condition with each interaction.

My goals for you

Treatment plan goals are important to direct and organize the process of therapy. I come from a holistic, collaborative approach and encourage the use of SMART goals to make realistic and meaningful progress in daily life.

Our first session

Your first session would consist of getting to know one another, gathering a history of what is currently presenting as well as past experiences and coming from a caring, open, nonjudgmental approach.
