I work with individuals and couples who are trying to understand patterns that feel hard to change on their own- often showing up as anxiety, trauma responses, emotional overwhelm, or ongoing disconnection in relationships.

I specialize in EMDR and relational, insight-oriented therapy. My work focuses on helping clients notice what is happening beneath the surface- how past experiences and protective patterns continue to shape present-day emotional responses and relationships. From there, we work together to build greater emotional safety, self-understanding, and connection in relationships with self and others. Therapy with me integrates emotional experience, body awareness, and relational understanding so that change feels real, embodied, and sustainable.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working in behavioral health and child welfare, with significant time in the foster, kinship, and adoption world. This gave me a deep respect for the complexity of people’s lives and the systems they are navigating.

I completed my graduate training in counseling at Regis University, where I trained to work with individuals across the lifespan, including couples, children, and teens.

Outside of session, I stay grounded through time in nature with my family, our dog, and close friends. I enjoy caring for my garden and deepening my connection to the natural world, getting lost in a good thriller novel, and staying a lifelong learner.

Welcome.

I’m Chelsea Griebling, and I created Birch Hollow Counseling as a nurturing, reflective space for healing, insight, and growth.
