“IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERY DIFFICULTY LIES OPPORTUNITY”
ALBERT EINSTEIN
ABOUT ME
Chelsea is a licensed Registered Professional Counsellor (RPC) in good standing with the Canadian Professional Counseling Association (CPCA). Based in Vancouver, BC, she works as a counsellor and group facilitator at one of Canada's leading addiction and education rehabilitation centres. There she has supported hundreds of individuals throughout their treatment stay and during aftercare sessions in her private practice.
Chelsea began her helping career as a 9-1-1 dispatcher before becoming a certified Primary Care Paramedic (formally EMT). She holds an additional certification in advanced Motivational Interviewing (MI), is a certified SMART Recovery facilitator, and holds her candidacy with the Association of Intervention Specialists (AIS). ​Her comprehensive training, combined with her firsthand experience of the challenges faced by families impacted by addiction, allows her to approach each situation with empathy and effectiveness.
Her goal is to support families and loved ones during some of the most challenging and unpredictable times of their lives. Chelsea firmly believes that addiction is a disease that affects not only the individual suffering but also every person connected to them. Coming from a place of personal experience with addicted family members, she understands the feelings of hopelessness that can arise.
Her mission is to discover and utilize the family’s strengths so they can best support themselves while also providing the gift of treatment and recovery to the person struggling. With a trauma-informed lens, Chelsea empowers families to navigate their struggles without having to suffer in silence. She is committed to fostering hope, healing, and resilience in those she works with.
