Welcome, my name is Chelsea Ward-Smith, LPC. I am licensed in GA and AL, BBB instructor, coach, & more. LoveWTCS gives you courage, the ability to change, and creates a more balanced and healthier life through mindfulness. "The deeper the sorrow is carved within. The more balanced of the mind, body and soul." Once you can see the love around you. You will then see the love within yourself. Your mental health and/or diagnoses do not define you. However, it is a part of you & can be managed by changing your mindset and managing your emotions successfully through coping skills, self awareness of your triggers, and self care.
I have 5 + years of experience treating 13-18-year-old adolescents, adults, elders, LGBTIA , couples, families, and multicultural clients. I have experience with eating disorders, grief, addiction, anger management, depression, anxiety, generalized mental health, relationship concerns, life transitions, career counseling, and more.
Remember, "Before you can find the LOVE within anyone else, you must first, HEAL the love WITHIN yourself." I look forward to working with you and taking this mental health journey together.
