Welcome.
I’m glad you’re here.
I’m Chelsea Griebling, and I created Birch Hollow Counseling as a nurturing space where healing, reflection, and growth can take root. Since adolescence, I’ve been drawn to understanding people deeply and exploring human behavior. My own mental health journey showed me the growth possible when we take charge of our lives with support.
After years working in behavioral health and child welfare, I pursued my graduate degree in counseling at Regis University, training to work directly with individuals, couples, children, teens, and families. My approach blends EMDR with insight-oriented, relational counseling, drawing on creative methods to explore the unconscious forces that can hold us back from living authentically.
Outside of the office, I enjoy time with my family, our dog, and close friends in nature—a place where I feel reflective and spiritually connected. I also love creative pursuits and deepening my understanding of psychological theories (yes, for fun), all of which continue to inform and inspire my work.
“I love the dark hours of my being. My mind deepens into them. There I can find, as in old letters, the days of my life, already lived, and held like a legend, and understood. Then the knowing comes: I can open to another life that’s wide and timeless.”
-Rainer Maria Rilke, Book of Hours, translated by Anita Barrows & Joanna Macy
