Chelsea Burke-Micek, LMSW
Licensed Master Social Worker
You might look like you’re handling everything—but inside, you feel anxious, stuck, or exhausted from overthinking and carrying the weight of your past. If you’re struggling to move forward or make sense of what you’re feeling, you’re not alone. I specialize in working with individuals ages 18–30 who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. Whether you’re dealing with relationship challenges, unresolved family dynamics, or a constant sense of pressure to “figure it all out,” therapy can be a space to slow down, gain clarity, and better understand yourself.
Together, we’ll go beyond surface-level symptoms to understand the patterns shaping how you think, feel, and relate to others. I use a collaborative, compassionate approach, integrating CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed, attachment-focused work to help you build practical coping skills while addressing the root causes to support lasting change.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You don’t have to do that here. If you’re ready to better understand yourself, heal from the past, and move forward with more clarity and confidence, I would love for you to reach out to me!
