Welcome to my website, I’m so glad that you are here. As a licensed professional counselor, I am passionate about helping people create lives for themselves that they are excited about living, specializing in anxiety, trauma, C-PTSD, relationships, and ADHD. I see teens and adults who are struggling in these areas, as well as others like overwhelm and depression.
By exploring this site you are taking the courageous first steps in making significant positive change in your life. If life is journey, as the old cliché states, then I see my role as a therapist as being an experienced companion to assist you along your path.
You decide what path to take.
You must do the work of putting one foot in front of the other, but you don’t have to do it alone.
I can be there alongside you, map in hand to help you make better informed choices, a flashlight to help make the dark woods a little less scary, and a few snacks to bolster you for whatever difficulties lie ahead.
I invite you to click through my site and learn a bit more about what you can expect from therapy and my approach, and if you would like to connect or have more questions, I encourage you to click the Contact Me page and send me a message or call. My practice is located in Austin, but I also hold Zoom appointments so that I can serve anyone in Texas. I look forward to hearing from you.
You can also connect with me on Instagram, TikTok or on Psychology Today.
Reminder: The current rate is $200/hr. At this time, I do not accept insurance, but I can provide a super bill to you that can be submitted to your insurance provider for partial reimbursement.
NO SURPRISES ACT: Effective January 1, 2022
As a client of Chelsea DeKruyff, you will be utilizing a private pay/out of network service. This will likely be at a higher rate than you would pay for an in-network provider. As part of your intake paperwork, you will be asked to review a Good Faith Estimate to acknowledge that you are choosing not to use an in-network provider, and that you understand you are agreeing to pay our higher rates out of pocket. This document will also provide for you an estimate of how much services will cost, how we determine the total costs of services, and your rights as a client protected by the New Surprises Act.
An Introduction
My name is Chelsea DeKruyff, MA, LPC. I am a compassion-centered, neuroscience-informed psychotherapist in Austin, Texas. I specialize in working with PTSD and trauma-related disorders, ADHD, relationships and codependency, and identity issues.
I work with both men and women, and with adults and teens, particularly teens with anxiety or LGBTQ+ teens. Mindfulness and compassion are an integral component to my practice. I think that having a healthy, trusting, and genuine relationship with clients is important for healing. This is because the way we heal from trauma is to be present with our trauma and feel calm and seen with another person. When you are coming to therapy, you are usually in a state of anxiety or crisis, and it’s really easy to feel anxious, judged, or distrustful of someone who is just presenting a strictly professional persona.
With 17 years of professional and well-rounded experience, I look forward to growing in your journey together.
