Chelsea Ferguson, LCSW
Hi, I’m Chelsea.
The field of social work and the values held by those within it resonated with me at an early age, sparking my interest in this career path. As I faced personal challenges, I learned that simply being present for others can be life altering; seeing that power in action as I worked to overcome my own hurdles led me to becoming a therapist.
I like to dream big, think deeply, and empower myself and others to challenge the status quo. I have years of experience, both personal and professional, navigating this neurotypical world and looking for ways to improve it. I pride myself in creating inclusive spaces and affirming the experiences of neurodivergent individuals.
While life can be messy, it is also beautiful.
