MS, LCMHC, LCASA, NCC

My name is Chelsea White and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor at Global Counseling Solutions. I have a passion for working with people who suffer from mental health disorders including PTSD, substance abuse, anxiety, and severe depression. Responding to the needs of individuals who are struggling to manage the symptoms of these issues is a responsibility that I take very seriously. In my experience, I have found that most mental health disorders begin during adolescence. This is why I am passionate about helping adolescents live full, balanced, and healthier lives. I assist my clients in developing and implementing coping skills and self-care strategies that assist them in living a more fulfilling life.

I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and couples. Compassion, warmth, and objectivity are just some of the values I offer to clients I serve. My clients are accepted for who they are while receiving encouragement to become self-aware, grow and thrive within their communities. My goal is to create a safe space for reviving the soul, mind, will, and emotions. I strive to assist clients in rebuilding weakened relationships while also assisting them in their own personal restoration. I also have a passion for working with clients who identify themselves as members of LGBTQ+.

System Counseling, as well as Cognitive-Behavioral and Cognitive Restructuring approaches, are blended with Motivational Interviewing techniques to form the basic theoretical foundation of my work with clients. I offer Individual, Couples, and Marriage Counseling, Christian Counseling, Life and Executive Coaching, Consultation, and Clinical supervision.

I believe in your ability to find the answers to your life’s dilemmas. I see myself as a facilitator within the therapeutic relationship, providing objective guidance and support, as well as, challenging unhealthy thought processes while creating a warm, accepting, and soothing environment in which to work. Let’s redesign the life you were created to live.

MSW, LCSW

Sometimes things happen that affect the way we see the world, the way we treat people, and the way we think about ourselves. This can happen to anyone. Sometimes, when life knocks you down, it can be tough getting back up. I help people get up.

I currently specialize in relationship counseling not limited to intimate partner relationships, but also everyday interactions i.e., working, organizational, non-traditional, casual, mutually beneficial, and structural. I commonly assist with communication which is a major underlying issue found within relationship dysfunction.

My preferred methodologies for treatment are Gestalt therapy, Autogenic Training, CBT, Existential Therapy, and grief counseling.

My strengths lie in understanding, compassion, mutual respect, and experience. I am able to channel levels of comprehension in the following areas: Abandonment, depression, low self-esteem, jealousy, forgiveness, lack of trust, relationship strain, and everyday challenges.

Other areas of proficiency include coping with life changes, communication problems, divorce and separation, emptiness, and intimacy-related issues.

I have over ten years of experience in providing therapy services. I pride myself on providing a safe and non-judgmental space to assist my clients in achieving their goals. Building therapeutic rapport and maintaining engagement are important to me. It helps me understand who you are and ensures that you feel seen as a unique individual. Your perspectives on life are determined by your life experiences. Understanding your unique experiences are important to me. My goal is to partner with you to help you achieve the meaningful and sustainable changes you desire. I primarily use evidenced-based treatment modalities including Cognitive-Based therapy and Solution-focused therapy. I specialize in helping adults and adolescents who are experiencing anxiety, grief, minority stress, LGBTQ issues, internal struggles, and mood disorders to include major depression and bipolar disorders.

LCSW, LCAS

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist. I serve adults ages 18 through 65+.

We all know that life is not always what we plan or hope for. Don’t let this discourage you. There is support to help you navigate life’s bumps. I commend your determination to invest in yourself. Taking that first step is always the hardest, but once you do the journey will be worth it. It would be my privilege to assist you in improving your well-being.

I am here to assist and partner with you on your journey. Together, we will work on your goals and empower you to make the changes you have imagined for yourself. You may not know exactly what your goals look like, and that’s ok. We will work together to explore and establish your goals.

I incorporate different modalities that cater to each person’s unique needs. My approach to therapy includes solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and mindfulness. As a team, we will determine which works best for you.

My hope is that over time we can create a safe and trusting space, that is non-judgmental and where you can always be yourself. Remember my door is always open.

I acknowledge that we are experiencing varying levels of stress and carrying issues that may not be obvious to others. With this, I am a firm advocate for mental health. I believe that seeking help is never a sign of weakness rather it is a measure of bravery. That’s why working in a practice that promotes mental health is fulfilling for me because I can hone my passion which is to aid other people to seek help and attain their full potential.
