Chelsea Heller, LMFT

That work gave her extensive experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment questions, blended family challenges, and identity concerns. She also spent time in an in-patient psychiatric hospital where she helped stabilize people through short-term crises and supported families learning to manage diagnoses. In her current role as a school psychologist she conducts psychoeducational assessments and helps develop independent education plans.

She evaluates students for autism, intellectual disabilities, AD/HD, and learning differences, and provides counseling when mental health needs are present. Her background connects school-based supports with family-focused goals. Chelsea draws on a mix of practical strategies and person-centered listening.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered methods to help clients set concrete goals and try small, manageable changes. Sessions are collaborative and paced according to each person's needs. Parents who want straightforward guidance around behavior, attachment, identity, or blending households may find her approach useful.

Chelsea emphasizes respect for each person’s process and avoids pushing an agenda while helping people make clearer choices for their families.
