Welcome!

My name is Chelsea Trump and I am the founder and lead clinician at Transformative Life Changing Psychotherapy!

I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey and Virginia, offering teletherapy for adult individuals and for couples seeking to strengthen their relationship.

I graduated from Lycoming College with my bachelor’s degree in 2008 and majored in political science; I intended to become an attorney. Graduating at the height of a recession altered those plans. Instead of going to law school, I completed a year of service in the AmeriCorps where I worked directly with underprivileged youth. This experience changed my life and led me to the helping professions. Upon completion of service, I obtained a job at Catholic Charities and worked with children, families, and adults; helping them clinically and with case management. During my tenure at Catholic Charities, I completed my master’s degree at Rider University in clinical mental health counseling and school counseling.

I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health profession and my goal here at TLC is to help you process, heal, cope, learn and grow into the version of yourself you want to be.

I am very warm, welcoming, affirming, and validating. My therapeutic style is person-centered, and I believe the client-therapist relationship is of utmost importance. I also operate from a strengths-based perspective. In counseling, much of the work done by clients is done outside of session. Therefore, I work to empower clients to make changes, sometimes by giving homework to complete outside of session. My core values and beliefs center on transparency, authenticity, empathy, validation, collaboration, and growth.
