Hello, my name is Chelsea Welch (she/her), an Intern Therapist. I am a current graduate student at Marywood University, working toward earning my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am an Intern Therapist working towards graduation.
I believe therapy offers a unique and safe place to heal and grow. I am passionate about helping those who want to change, work toward life goals, and overcome hardships. Therapy isn’t always easy, but it can be the most meaningful gift you can give to yourself.
I can help you overcome relationship challenges, manage anxiety and burnout, increase your self-esteem and compassion, handle life transitions, and find balance and boundaries for yourself. I will work alongside you from a place of non-judgment to help you identify and address your most challenging concerns. My goal is to help you create meaningful and lasting change.
I especially work with teens and young adults, but I also see adults struggling with life’s boundaries and finding balance.
I use elements of my training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Person-Centered Therapy in my therapy practice.
I enjoy being at home with my boyfriend and our German Shepherd, Augie. In my spare time, I enjoy experimenting with new recipes I find online. I practice meditation and journaling and enjoy getting lost in a good book because it helps me relax and unwind. I attend weekly yoga and virtual spirituality classes to maintain wellness and connect with others. I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I love traveling to Disney World and Tennessee, two of my favorite places besides home. I also enjoy NASCAR and often travel to different tracks once a year.
I look forward to connecting with you if you think I might be a good match to help support you on your journey.

Whether you are suffering from panic attacks, obsessive – compulsive disorder, or generalized anxiety we have therapists who use evidenced-based treatments, such as cognitive-bahavioral therapy, to help you.
Many individuals feel like they are at war with their bodies. Whether it’s feeling shame, guilt, or giving ourselves critical comments about our bodies, we can be our own worst enemy. Our therapists can help you feel at peace with your body and learn to be kind to yourself.
Depression, one of the most common mental health disorders, is very treatable. Our therapists are specially trained to help individuals with depression get back to feeling like themselves again.
Life transitions encompass many things, including starting or ending a romantic relationship, changes with work or school or making any big life change, such as a move. Often we underestimate how these changes will affect us emotionally until we find ourselves struggling with the ups and downs of the life transition.
While we don’t provide couples counseling at Move Forward, many individuals seek counseling to discuss how they can have healthier relationships. Our therapists can help you learn new ways of communicating, setting boundaries, and other ways to have more positive relationships with others.
Moving into adulthood brings its own set of challenges. You may feel pressure to have a “career” or find your life partner. You may be unsure of making these big life decisions and may feel lost because you no longer have school or other adults in your life telling you what you should choose.
The period of adolescence can be exciting, but also challenging for many teens. Difficulties with friends, school, anxiety, depression, cutting, and substance abuse are all common issues for this group. Due to a lack of life experience, teens may not know how to manage these problems which is why therapy can be especially helpful.
Reach out today to get started. Our supportive staff will help guide you through the scheduling process, discuss special requests and consult your insurance needs.
