Chelsea O’Day-Navis

Contemplative psychotherapy and Buddhist psychology are my specialties, and I use them to help clients meet hard experiences with openness and mindfulness. My integrative approach draws on both Eastern and Western psychology. I’m Chelsea O’Day-Navis, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

I work with adults on anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and LGBTQIA+ concerns. Most work I do centers on the queer and transgender community, and I work to be affirming of everyone.

Depending on need, I may draw on acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure and response prevention, psychoeducation and parts-work, along with psychodynamic, person-centered and Internal Family Systems techniques. For anxiety, I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. For obsessive-compulsive disorder, I focus on cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure and response prevention. My work is trauma-informed, and I am trained in clinical trauma work.
