Chelsea Coffman

My communication style

It's important that you feel comfortable, safe, accepted, respected, and validated. I strive to be transparent and non-judgmental to build trust, and I welcome feedback about what works well. I have a positive outlook and like sessions to feel calm, relaxed, and casual. I also love animals and welcome participation from any pets!

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been a people person who loves talking, listening, and helping others. I've been blessed with supportive people in my life, and I want to give this back to others as much as possible. Social work is the best fit for me because it considers the role of people's environments rather than strictly following the disease model.

My goals for you

I want to listen and work with you to learn what your goals are and figure out how I can best help you meet them. While I'm happy to offer ideas and suggestions, I ultimately want to identify your goals and help you achieve them.

Our first session

The first session is our initial opportunity to meet and start building rapport. I'll ask questions to learn more about you and begin conceptualizing how I can support you. One question I'll ask is how you'll know when your goals have been met. I'll also encourage you to ask me any questions about me, the therapy process, or anything else.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Agnostic
