Chelsea Dufault
Associate Licensed Mental Health Counselor
I have been passionate about being a mental health counselor for as long as I can remember and bring that passion into each session. I strongly believe that we each have the tools inside of us to move towards goals and overcome hardships - Through empathy, understanding, and full commitment to the positive change of each client, I will work alongside you to find those tools.
I received my B.S. in Psychology from Johnson & Wales University, and I am currently in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Johnson & Wales where I will receive my M.S. in August 2024. Within my education, I have taken advantage of extra dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and trauma skills trainings, as I have deep desire for helping individuals who are struggling in that area. I also feel strongly about working with the LGBTQ+ population, whether that means sitting alongside someone as they try to better understand themselves/their identity or provide support to those who need it within the community.
Each client comes to therapy with a unique set of needs and expectations, and I place a lot of importance on making the counseling experience fit the comfort of each individual. My journey towards becoming a mental health counselor has been marked by personal growth, transformative experiences, and the privilege of witnessing the resilience we all have within. I hope to help you reach your goals, find your inner peace, and feel as though you are the best version of yourself.
