Judgement-Free Therapy for Individuals and Couples Seeking to Strengthen Clarity and Connection
In-Person & Online Therapy
welcome
I’m so glad you made it here!
My name is Dr. Chelsea Burton (she/her). I am a licensed psychologist specializing in adult psychotherapy, couples therapy, sex therapy, and family therapy. I approach therapy from a relational perspective, and enjoy working collaboratively with clients and their strengths to create change. I am an active and engaged therapist and provide feedback and insight. I approach clients with curiosity, warmth and humor, and care deeply about how both culture and life experiences shape the therapeutic work. Whether you are a seasoned therapy client or new to therapy, you are welcome here! I offer both in person therapy at my office in Arlington MA or virtual therapy. I deeply believe that therapy can create lasting changes that impact individuals, families, communities, and the world.
