Chelsea Dufault, Associate Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Traumatic or negative experiences in childhood can create core beliefs and patterns of thinking that persist into adulthood. It's clear to me that many of my clients have grown up in environments where they may have had to stay on guard, take care of others, or navigate difficult experiences on their own, causing them to feel unsure about who they are underneath it all. I use this lens to help clients navigate emotional challenges by turning them into an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.

I hold a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and take a holistic approach centered around each client’s unique needs. Rather than focusing on “fixing,” I’m committed to helping you make sense of your experiences. I enjoy working with trauma, using approaches such as EMDR and person-centered therapy to support your healing. Together, we’ll move gently and work towards empowering you to shift from the pain of the past to the possibilities of the future. We will explore your identity, passions, and dreams - beyond the roles you may have had to take on or the struggles connected to your inner child.

I aim to create a space that feels warm, steady, and genuinely supportive. I show up with care, curiosity, and respect for your pace - someone who will listen closely, without judgment or pressure. You don’t have to have the “right words,” and you don’t have to share anything before you’re ready. You can expect to feel met with compassion and understanding as we begin to make sense of what you’ve been carrying. Together, we’ll create a roadmap for your new life, one that embraces both the lessons of the past and the freedom of what's to come.
