About Chelsey justice, lpcc | licensed Therapist in Alexandria, MN

I’m passionate about helping teens and young adults find their happiness again and get back into the driver’s seat of life. My clients tend to be high-functioning in day-to-day life, whose problems may not be immediately apparent to others — but below the surface, they're stuck and hurting (and they’re pretty good at hiding it, too). This often looks like:

• anxiety

• perfectionism

• self-doubt / low self-esteem

• stress / burnout

• unfulfilling / conflicted relationships (friends, family, partner/marriage)

• buried trauma and past wounds

• irritability / feeling “on edge” often

• self-sabotaging behaviors

• isolating and avoidance

Therapy is a commitment, so it’s important to find a therapist who’s the right fit for you. Research shows that the strongest factor in successful therapy is the client-therapist relationship. Ultimately, you just want a therapist who gets it, and who can help — and I get that. I’m hoping the information I provide here provides a glimpse of who I am and what it’s like working with me in therapy.

While therapy takes hard work, it doesn’t have to be some stiff, painfully awkward process (that sounds awful). My clients have described my style as warm, laid-back, and genuine.

In our work together, I create space for you to better understand yourself so you can truly thrive. Whether it’s processing current issues, learning new coping skills, or doing the deep work of healing past wounds, I meet you where you’re at. I’ll challenge you, ask insight-building questions, help you identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and teach you practical tools you can start using right away.

If you’re seeking a therapist in Alexandria, MN, I’m glad you’re here.
