Hi, my name is Chelsea Campbell and I am a Registered Social Worker offering inclusive, 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally-sensitive counselling to clients ages 6 and up. My services can be conveniently accessed virtually across Ontario and in-person through Walk and Talk counselling services in Orillia, Ontario. I am registered in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Work and Social Service Workers and with the College of Early Childhood Educators.
Although my career path has not been linear, all of my experiences have been supportive and caring in nature. I have found deep meaning in work with both animals and humans. After working in the full-time for 15 years with children, youth and families, my curiosity and passion to connect and support people of all ages grew, and I found myself exploring various roles that allowed me to gain invaluable experience working with adults and older adults.
In the social services and mental health field, I have had the pleasure of working with youth and adults in crisis, treatment programs for addictions, community outreach, college lecturing, field supervision, hospice and counselling. I believe that with my combined lived, educational and work experiences I can offer you a unique perspective that will empower you to shift your life in the direction you feel is most meaningful for you.
My counselling approach is warm and responsive and I integrate several modalities and techniques to suit your unique needs, including but not limited to attachment-based therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). I will be here to listen to you, offer unwavering support, and provide you with skills and tools that you can use in your daily life.
