Chelsea Delzangle (She/Her)

In therapy, my first step is to establish a connection with the client. When working with kiddos, I make sure the parents/ guardians and the kiddos understand my obligation to the client over the parent/ guardian. While safety is a primary concern, I utilize my experience and understanding of unhelpful thoughts to determine what information needs to be passed on to others. It's important for my clients to know that I will incorporate humor, when appropriate, to our sessions. At the same time, I am not afraid to call you out on your sh*t. With my internal dialogue, it pops up that I may not want to share some of the thoughts that I have but my professional experience leads me to sharing, in the most appropriate way possible, anything that I feel could impact your treatment. I have expressed to clients time and time again that I am here for them, and I don't want to waste their time. As a result of this, it's imperative that clients give me feedback regarding the services I'm providing to them. I cannot read your mind when something upsets or bothers you. If you communicate these things to me, I can then make changes that will be beneficial to your experience in therapy.
