Chelsea Ellinger
Clinical Social Worker/Therapist -
Greetings! My name is Chelsea Ellinger, MSW. My master’s is in social work from Florida Atlantic University. Prior to opening my private practice, I worked as a victim’s advocate with a non-profit for several years as well as a therapist/counselor for a telehealth therapeutic company.
I strongly believe that our experiences shape our perspectives and influence how we move through our lives. Having the individual human being in mind and considering their unique social, cultural, economic, and spiritual experiences and how they have impacted their lives and mental health, I acknowledge that within each client lies inherent strengths to draw from towards healing and growth. My goal is to help each client discover and build upon those strengths. My fundamental goal as a therapist is to provide a safe therapeutic environment to establish a collaborative relationship with which we can work together through a tailored, integrative approach to meet your needs.
Join me in understanding feelings, behaviors, and the human mind. Let’s question together how it has always been driven toward solving the questions that start with why. After leading counseling sessions and witnessing the empowering feeling it brings to aid someone in finding a way forward, I also became driven toward solving the questions that start with how. I would deem it a privilege to take the time with someone to answer how they can move forward from their situation and how they can deal with whatever hand life has dealt them, as well as being able to diagnose any conditions before initiating treatment.
