Chelsea Sheedy, LCMHC

Chelsea Sheedy is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with eight years of clinical experience. She began her career as a professionally trained musician and then trained as a board-certified music therapist after studying at the University of Iowa. She later completed a master’s degree in clinical counseling to expand her clinical skills and increase accessibility for people seeking healing and growth.

Her work blends creative methods with evidence-informed psychotherapy in a multimodal, client-centered way. She tailors each session to fit an individual's needs and strengths, drawing on music, art, writing, or nature when appropriate. Her toolbox includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

She has a particular focus on survivors of trauma and abuse, including complex PTSD, and also works with offenders and survivors of domestic violence. Her practice addresses mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, intimacy and sexual dysfunction, addictions and co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges, parenting and family concerns, grief, and life transitions. She is trained in EMDR and adapts its use for distance counseling when clinically indicated.

Chelsea has experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, LGBTQ+ individuals, parents, and families. Her clinical style emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and practical skill-building to support meaningful change. She practices in Utah and provides services in English.
