Stress can motivate us to adapt, solve problems, and grow. But when stress becomes chronic—through life demands, anxiety, depression, stigma, discrimination, rejection, concealment, or feeling unsafe or misunderstood—it can overwhelm our ability to cope. My work welcomes people across sexual orientations, gender identities, cultures, and racial backgrounds. Together, we practice accepting the reality of things as they are—not as resignation, but as a starting point for learning, healing, and growing beyond the barriers that keep us stuck.

Some pain doesn't come from one bad day. It comes from years of learning to survive what was never safe: an abusive relationship, a childhood shaped by trauma, or a faith community that once felt like home and now feels like something you had to leave. I'm Chelsea, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and EMDRIA certifed EMDR Therapist. I work with kids, teens, and adults carrying complex trauma, domestic violence, dissociation, and religious trauma, and I have a particular interest in helping people make sense of new information about their own family story, including learning about unknown parentage later in life.

It's a Native American tribe, so yeah, a lot of my approach has an Indigenous vibe to it.
I know what it's like to be in your 20s and feel like every tab in your brain is open and none of them will load. You're carrying the "why am I still living at home" guilt, the exhaustion of trying to build a life while everyone acts like you should already have one, and a nervous system that's been redlining for so long you forgot what calm even feels like. Everyone around you is collecting the degrees, the partners, the LinkedIn announcements, and you're lying on your floor with your comfort playlist on repeat because it's the only thing that slows your heartbeat down. I call this the hot freeze — so wired and so overwhelmed.

And I'm Chippewa, a Native American tribe, so my work carries an Indigenous, whole-person lens: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual all in the room together.
You've done the talking. You've read the books, made the lists, understood exactly why you do the thing you do — and you still do the thing. You white-knuckle your way through the habit, the anxiety, the pattern you swore you'd break, and it keeps looping back like your brain didn't get the memo your logical mind already signed off on. That's because the part running the show isn't the thinking part. It's older, deeper, and it's been protecting you with the same worn-out strategy since you were a kid. Insight alone doesn't reach it.

As a Navajo woman, I weave Indigenous wisdom into our work.
Mama, take a breath....you're the one who's got it handled—sharp in the meeting, first to reply, the one everyone leans on, and then you get in the car and feel absolutely nothing left. You're "fine" everywhere except in your own body, where you're running on fumes and have a to-do list that never ends. Consider this your sign: being high-functioning isn't the same as being okay, and the depletion you're hiding is real. Let's stop it now! I provide a holistic, sacred space to refill you, so you're not just performing—you're actually living.

I’m a mixed-race Native American(Cherokee).
Hi, I’m Mariah! If you’re looking for a therapist with “big-sister energy” (supportive, honest, and nurturing, while also calling you out when needed), you’re in the right place! I encourage growth and gently tell the truth. My approach is collaborative, grounded, and trauma-informed. I balance support with thoughtful challenge.
Do you struggle with feeling inadequate or stuck in hard-to-change patterns? Maybe you question your identity or repeat relationship conflicts. If you relate to being a people pleaser who wants to feel truly seen, you’re not alone. If that reminds you of a certain Taylor Swift lyric, you’re in good company!

FAQ - Native American Therapists
What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process. Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.
How to find a Native American therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance. If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
