The Studio Approach
What is a counseling studio and how is it different from other counseling offices? You may be more familiar with art studios or yoga studios. Like these places, Grace to Grow Studio is a place where you show up, practice your skills, get to be yourself without judgment, and never expect perfection. We will work at a pace that feels comfortable to you and work through difficult topics with sound decision making, empathy, and, when we can, a sense of humor.
Hi, I’m Chelsea! I am passionate about working with individuals to tend to their past or present hurts to become the most compassionate, grounded, and authentic versions of themselves.
