Chelsie Ciminelli, LCSW(She/Her/Hers)

Chelsie supports adults, couples, and families who are navigating the impacts of developmental and attachment trauma, relationship challenges, codependency, anxiety, depression, and patterns of perfectionism or self-doubt. Many of her clients arrive feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in familiar cycles that no longer serve them. Chelsie offers a grounded, compassionate space where clients can slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and begin to understand the deeper roots of the patterns shaping their emotional world and relationships.

Her therapeutic approach is warm, attuned, and integrative. Chelsie blends nervous-system–based healing with attachment-focused therapy, somatic work, and parts-informed practices to support meaningful, embodied change. She is trained in somatic and energy healing modalities that focus on early developmental healing and repairing the effects of chronic stress and trauma on the nervous system. She also integrates relational, emotionally focused, and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients build internal safety, strengthen their sense of self, and cultivate healthier, more fulfilling connections with others.

Professionally, Chelsie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Her work is informed by extensive clinical training as well as her personal healing journey from codependency, perfectionism, and complex relational wounds. With a holistic lens that incorporates emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing, Chelsie is often described as grounding, intuitive, and direct which are qualities that help clients feel both supported and gently challenged as they grow.

Chelsie offers in-person sessions in her private practice office as well as secure Telehealth sessions for clients across North Carolina and South Carolina. Her practice is intentionally designed to feel calm, private, and welcoming for deep therapeutic work. She typically has weekday availability and may offer limited evening sessions depending on current openings. Chelsie welcomes clients who are ready to heal long-standing patterns, reconnect with themselves, and build a life rooted in clarity, confidence, and wholeness.
