Chesy Tronchoni Bello

My communication style

I approach my work with clients with curiosity, warmth, humor, and authenticity. I provide an empathetic listening ear, as well as gentle challenges to help clients gain more self-awareness about themselves and the systemic factors that may affect them. I enjoy providing an open-minded space where people can feel comfortable.

My journey to mental healthcare

My interest in becoming a therapist first started as a teenager in Venezuela, experiencing the healing power of creativity and connection when my younger brother was going through cancer treatment. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Music Therapy at Temple University, followed by a Master’s in Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

My goals for you

I believe that goal-setting in therapy must be a flexible and active collaboration between client and therapist. Some people may come to the first session with clear and defined goals, while others may have a general idea of what they want to change. I listen for themes and patterns to help clients identify what it is they wish to change.

Our first session

The first couple of sessions of the therapy process will be dedicated to starting to develop the therapeutic relationship and gathering relevant information about you across different areas of your life. I start by listening and getting to know the client’s life, relationships, and significant childhood experiences.
