HEALING

CHELSEA OLSEN

My heart lies in social justice work and helping people find healing from systems of harm, as well as healing from intergenerational trauma dynamics and patterns.

For nearly a decade, I have worked in social services in many capacities, and have extensive experience in sober coaching, mentorship, treatment case management, advocacy, group facilitation, crisis management, harm reduction, consultation, and intervention.

I have and continue to work specifically with adolescents who have experienced sexual trauma and exploitation in the role of advocacy and mentorship since 2018. I apply trauma-informed care and empowerment-based approaches in my work to address the whole person and honor their full story and experience rather than the presenting symptoms.

I firmly believe in meeting people where they are at and am strongly against using a “one size fits all” method, as each human is unique and has unique needs.
