Schedule A Call

You have a secret…

… and I know what it is.

The beautiful home. The honor roll kids.

The prestigious job. Your volunteer work with your church.

You’ve worked your butt off trying to do your part.

The perfect parent. The volunteer on the PTO board.

The upbeat, concerned, and encouraging friend.

The life of the party. Your energy keeps others going.

So, what’s your secret?

The ends are fraying.

The wheels are barely hanging on. Each day you are barely there.

Coffee. Wine. Marijuana. Fast Food Take Out. Selfies.

Pornography. Netflix Binging.

Get some freakin’ work done…

Tinder. Messaging an old flame.

Amazon Prime again.

Stalking friends online. Instagram… again.

Scroll, scroll, scroll… Click, click, click…

These are the only things you can count on to keep you afloat.

But you’re exhausted.

You want to scream and yell profanities. Blow through your credit cards, eat the whole house, and
then drink yourself to sleep.

What does it matter anyway?

Life’s supposed to be hard.

Maybe I need to grin and bear this.

So why do I feel this pull – that there could be something else out there for me?

And then… you witness someone else thrive.

I mean, really thrive.

They seem to know who they are. They don’t have to take life fast; in fact, they seem to have an inner sense of calm.

They aren’t always trying to catch up with others. They seem to be okay with the less than perfect house. Less than perfect body. Less than perfect.

Why does my life look so good to everyone else…

… but it’s like a living hell for me?

Do I just copy that happy person over there?

Do I need to practice more “self-love”?

Your secret is out. And it can set you free.

Something isn’t working. Something is poisoning the well.

You are not living for YOU.

Everyone else needs something, and that matters more than YOU. Admit it. This is what your life says about you.

You don’t want to do this anymore.

You need perspective.

Someone to care about you.

Someone to rescue you and get you out of this.

Could counseling be the way out?

But wait, this is MY problem. Does this make me crazy or weak to ask for help?

What if I can’t afford counseling? What about my privacy?

It feels awkward to talk things out with a stranger when I have family or friends.

It’s time to embrace who you are meant to be.

Without fear of failure or rejection. Without reproach for mistakes, and
without obligation to an invisible audience of critics.

It’s time to know you truly are enough.

It’ll be different when you and I join together. I’ll tell you why.

Hi, I’m Chelsea.

I enjoy this journey so much – this less than perfect journey.

I offer you my uncompromising hope in a brighter future for YOU.

You inspire me with your setbacks, your moments of self-doubt and disappointment, and your brave steps forward.

More About Me Call Me Today

You aren’t perfect. I love that about you.

Your moments of hope peeping through the gloom. I see them. I see you fighting against whether to believe in that hope or default to “just good enough.”

You are curious about what’s possible, and I join you to nurture that curiosity and hope.

Suddenly, the answers and insights into your brighter possibilities light up your face when you understand something significant through this journey. You have everything you need. The path is clearer.

Not only is it clear – it’s YOUR PATH. With your own customized sign and your own customized mile markers.

To me, you are heroic.

You are the epicenter of our journey together in counseling. Your journey is 10x more exciting to me because you are doing this here and now.

You are battling a struggle inside yourself, and the outcome of that battle will determine your right to live life the way you are MEANT TO.

I will not let you give up until you win that battle. The victory within yourself will add meaning to your confusing past. It will add peace and self-compassion to help you weather the challenges of today. And it will illuminate a much brighter, clearer path for your future.

This is your path and journey…

It’s not supposed to match anyone else’s. Looking down other’s paths to success inspired you but left you questioning.

But you must create the best path forward for you. I can help you, and I want to be here for ALL OF IT.

Your authentic self has been waiting for you. Embrace the YOU you’ve always been. Call me today

Testimonials

Chelsea Gilbert is very considerate and very easy to open up to discuss my concerns. She made me feel comfortable from my first session. She is an empathetic listener and ask thought provoking questions.

Questions that made me not only think but seeing a situation from a variety of angles. She is extremely helpful. She helped me identify my issues while being supportive and still challenging to keep me moving in the right direction. I recommend her highly to work with you and your family.

I feel so fortunate to have found this remarkable therapist who helped us through a difficult time in our life.

Chelsea is an excellent therapist with great insight and a huge heart. She helped us work through issues which were tearing us apart and taught us some critical communication skills which have helped to solidify our commitment to each other. On to the next 30 years of marriage!

Thank you, Chelsea, for being there!

Tia and Joe

Chelsea is a great therapist. I highly recommend her as a couples therapist and also for men and women dealing with addiction or anger issues. I have recommended her as a therapist to several of my friends.

It was absolutely a pleasure to meet with Chelsea Gilbert. Our initial consultation was very impressive.

She listened to me very carefully and made me so comfortable. She quickly analyzed my personality and she even told me some of the problems I was facing before I mentioned them. I look forward to our upcoming sessions. Highly recommend Legacy Counseling, Inc!

You can stop looking now. Chelsea is one of the most intuitive and supportive people I have ever met. She has been such a blessing in my life and she is incredibly inspiring. Lucky you for finding her.

Going to couples therapy for the first time, we didn’t know what to expect or if we would feel comfortable, we went to see Chelsea and she was fantastic! We were very comfortable speaking to her, especially my boyfriend who is sort of awkward lol. We saw her for about 6 months or so, she has helped my boyfriend and I grow stronger. A huge issue for us was lack of communication, coming here really helped. Chelsea would give us some activities to do outside of therapy so that we’re not waiting for therapy every week to tell each other how we’re feeling. Seems so silly that communication was an issue but, my boyfriend and I just really lacked that. Chelsea helped so much. She provided her insights and looking at ways she did was great. Made me realize I was looking at some situations maybe one sided. If I ever feel the need to see a therapist again, I would go back to Chelsea.

It was very difficult to say goodbye to our weekly sessions!

The biggest advantage of this support group is helping women realize that they are not alone, that other people have similar problems and struggles. This was a huge relief to me… I am someone who has spent her whole life wondering if she was alone in her thoughts. In women’s group, we can take our social masks off, express anger and sadness if need be, and reveal all parts of ourselves. Being able to open up without fear of being judged or hurting someone we love makes us feel accepted and allows us to begin the healing process.

Group works! Thank you Legacy Counseling!

I thought it was a game changer when I started Men’s Group. Chelsea said I would have limited traction in my recovery until I went – ALL IN and committed to attending Men’s Group. Its true. I need it.

It’s so lonely trying to get sober. Its meant so much to come to meetings with other men who are working on sober living, having these peers to hold me accountable, and knowing I am not alone. Addiction is screaming at me that I am all alone, and coming to weekly group proves to me each time that I’m not.
