Are you ready for therapy? If you're frustrated, feeling alone in the struggle and interested in understanding more about the patterns that have kept you (and your relationship) stuck, it’s time. Therapy with me will help you get started on the path to making real, lasting changes. While taking the first step to meet a psychotherapist can be difficult, your relationships and mental health are worth it. I can offer you the kind of support, guidance and gentle feedback that may be useful, no matter the challenge. Let's take the next step together. I'm looking forward to meeting you. Virtual teletherapy is done using Zoom.

Less than 16% of therapists in Texas are male, which may very well be why so many men don’t go to therapy. I specialize in men’s issues including fatherhood, life transitions and stigma. Additionally, families often need support when raising their children. I work with families and children through difficult transitional times, such as grief, school anxiety, college transitions, and family communication.

I am a licensed Professional Counselor by the State of Texas. My undergraduate work is in Family Studies and Child Development. My graduate work is in the areas of counseling psychology and Educational Psychology. I have been working in a school setting for the past 20 years and I have been in a private practice setting since 2006.

My area of specialization focuses on looking at problems in relationships through the lens of one's own attachment history to try to understand why one feels and responds in current relationships in ways that are not productive. I also specialize in working with children to help them learn to emotionally regulate themselves so that they are able to function in a variety of social and educational situations. My work with parents helps them come to better understand their child as a unique person so as parents they can feel effective & have a close relationship with their child.

I help stepfamily couples and single parents find the quickest path possible to confidence, support, and a workable plan that moves you in the direction of your goals from our first session- even in the most challenging situations. I partner with single parents to create a better life for you and your children; reduce the overwhelm, heal from your breakup; and move forward successfully. With blended family couples, we work together to manage stepparenting/stepchild issues, coparent concerns, and/or work through issues, so you can get back to the love and passion that brought you together. Video conference/phone appts available.

Welcome! My name is Chelsea Adams, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work Supervisor (LCSW-S) in the State of Texas. After receiving my Bachelor of Psychology from Texas A&M University, I earned my Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Texas in Austin. I completed my post-graduate training at Texas Children’s Center for Reproductive Psychiatry, where I worked with adult female clients suffering from postpartum depression and anxiety. I have trained and worked in various settings including Texas Children’s Hospital, UT Physician’s, and The Menninger Clinic.

I am a Play Therapist passionate about working with children experiencing behavioral issues, oppositional tendencies, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I use a variety of therapies including Adlerian Play Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy, and Parent Child Interaction Therapy. In addition, I am currently pursuing my Registered Play Therapy License to further enhance my skills as a therapist.

Raising children and adolescents can be difficult, draining, confusing, and overwhelming. I understand that parents can feel at their wits end at times, or feel that their child may need an “outsider” to talk to. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and/or parents with a variety of concerns including behavioral issues, school performance, anxieties, social issues, depression, and common issues that accompany adolescence. All parents want to see their child(ren) succeed whether that is in school, their passion, or socially, and I want work alongside your child to help them reach their goals.

Life is busy and can be complicated and messy. Balancing relationships, family, work, and your health is a challenge. You probably can’t remember the last time you took the time to care for YOU! Do you struggle to find balance in your life and time to take care of yourself? Do you struggle with partner, personal, or professional relationships? Do you feel defeated as a parent? Do you feel overwhelmed by feelings, worries, and stress? Do you feel exhausted from creating “what ifs” in your head, feeling dread and uncertainty about the future? Does chronic illness impact your life? Don’t worry, there is hope!

Do you yearn for closer, more connected relationships? Are you a parent managing overwhelm? Does your partner’s reactivity bring out the worst in you? An accepting, compassionate, and calm presence is one of the biggest gifts we can give ourselves and our loved ones. Yet, today’s stressors make that increasingly hard to do! Imagine what it would feel like to be living your best life. To move through hardships instead of away from them. To grow rather than shrink. Imagine feeling a deep love and connection for yourself and for others. How might your life unfold differently?

There's Instagram motherhood... and then there's reality. When people ask how you're doing, do you choke back the pain and force a smile? Pretend like everything is great when it's not? Maybe you're actually feeling depressed, anxious, or irritable. Or you're having scary and intrusive thoughts. Maybe you've had a traumatic birth, are having difficulty adjusting to parenthood or bonding with your baby, or are experiencing loss and grief. If you feel alone and unsupported in navigating the challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting, then I want you to know it doesn't have to be that way! With help, this will get better.

My client base is adult women. My areas of expertise are depression, anxiety, grief and loss, divorce, abusive relationships, parenting children with learning differences, life transitions, health issues, high risk pregnancy, end of life issues and death. My approach is supportive, insight oriented and empowering. Women often do not acknowledge their unique challenges and assign misplaced emotions and shame to their individual journeys. My goal is to help my clients heal, find meaning and strength in their experiences so that they can fully and authentically embrace the future.

I love working with women, parents, and educators juggling work-life demands, and adolescents/young-adults adjusting to adulthood. We each have a fundamental need for connection, autonomy, and belonging. Motivation and behavior are specific and variable. I listen, reflect, and ask questions. I translate the science of wellbeing into actionable practices to help clients connect their needs, values, and strengths with their actions and visions; to raise consciousness, cultivate emotional intelligence, explore limiting beliefs, master mindsets, build relational life skills, lean into their purposes; live, love, and lead with intention.

Have you ever gone to a different country and not understood their native language? How difficult was it for you to get what you needed? Imagine you are a child, wanting to tell you what they are going through but cannot tell you in words. Play therapy is a language a child utilizes to express what cannot be vocalized. I am Whitney, trained to interpret this language to help you get the ease you need as a parent. You are a good parent, you are here; looking to do all you can for her child. Give me a call!
