Meet Chelsea Hagy, LPCC

Since 2017, I’ve been walking alongside clients on their journey to healing. I’m passionate about helping you navigate life’s challenges with compassion, evidence-based care, and authentic human connection.

Founder & Sole Therapist

I’m an enneagram 2, extroverted, empathetic, and direct—I believe in the power of hope and healing. Therapy to me is where art, science, and spirituality meet. There’s an art to building a relationship and walking alongside you through uncertainty. The science comes in through the evidence-based therapies I use, like EMDR and ACT, offering a clear path toward healing. And the spiritual side is found in those moments of raw vulnerability—when real transformation happens.

I believe in meeting you exactly where you are with honesty, compassion, and the tools to help you move forward. It’s an honor to walk alongside my clients as they build resilience, find clarity, and rediscover themselves.

Why Storywell Counseling?

I started Storywell because I believe our stories—every messy, beautiful, complicated chapter—deserve to be heard and understood. I've seen firsthand how therapy can bring clarity, healing, and hope, and I wanted to create a space where people feel truly seen. A place where you don’t have to have it all figured out—where you can show up as you are and take the next step forward with support and compassion.

Areas of Support

  • Anxiety & Depression

    Depression and anxiety can impact your thoughts, emotions, and daily life, making it hard to feel like yourself. At Storywell Counseling, we offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help you make sense of your experiences, develop effective coping strategies, and take steps toward healing and hope.

  • Trauma & PTSD

    Trauma can leave lasting emotional scars, making it difficult to feel safe or in control. But recovery is possible. Storywell Counseling provides evidence-based therapy to help you process painful memories, reduce emotional distress, and rebuild a sense of strength and resilience.

  • Life Transitions

    Change—whether planned or unexpected—can bring uncertainty and emotional overwhelm. Storywell Counseling provides compassionate, evidenced-based therapy to help you process emotions, manage stress, and regain a sense of stability during times of transition.

  • Postpartum and Prenatal Support

    Pregnancy and postpartum can bring both joy and emotional challenges, from anxiety and depression to identity shifts and overwhelm. Storywell Counseling provides compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help you process these changes, manage stress, and regain a sense of balance in early parenthood.

Therapeutic Approach

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

    ACT is a therapy that helps you accept difficult thoughts and emotions instead of fighting them. Through mindfulness, self-compassion, and value-driven action, ACT empowers you to build a fulfilling life—without getting stuck in negativity or avoidance.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)

    EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps reprocess trauma and distressing memories using guided eye movements or bilateral stimulation. This reduces their emotional intensity, allowing you to heal and move forward with greater peace.

  • Intensive Therapy

    Intensive EMDR accelerates healing with longer, focused sessions, helping you process trauma more efficiently. This approach maintains momentum for deeper breakthroughs, offering faster relief for those with limited time or seeking intensive support.

  • Faith-based Counseling

    For clients who wish to integrate their Christian faith into therapy, faith-based counseling combines spirituality with evidence-based care. Whether seeking strength, navigating doubt, or wanting a therapist who understands your beliefs, this approach supports healing through a spiritual lens.
