Our Staff

Chelsea brings a wealth of experience and passion to her role. She earned her degree in Social Work at the University of Michigan, specializing in Interpersonal Practice with Children and Youth. She has worked as a therapist for children and families, working with at-risk youth and justice-involved youth. This population is important to Chelsea because she believes that intervening and providing support to children is the best way to ensure that they can grow into adults with positive coping skills and the ability to maintain healthy relationships. Beyond her professional endeavors, Chelsea is an avid animal lover who actively supports local animal shelters and rescues.

Chelsea is no stranger to ACGC, having encountered our organization through her work in the Austin non-profit sector. She has long admired the great work and services provided by ACGC, making her decision to join our team an enthusiastic one. She joined the team because she loves ACGC’s mission and how the organization stays true to it every day. Her favorite part of working at ACGC is its commitment to accessibility: by accepting Medicaid and offering a sliding scale fee, the center works to make therapy as affordable as possible and never turn anyone away due to inability to pay. Chelsea also deeply values the people she works alongside and the high-quality, compassionate services provided to kids and families

As the Senior Director of Programs, Chelsea works closely with our Executive Director and overseeing ACGC's program departments, including Therapy Services, Psych Services, and Community Services. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring that our programs align with our mission, goals, and objectives, as established by our Executive Director and Board of Directors.

Outside of work, Chelsea is a dedicated runner, skilled sewer, and proud cat mom to three feline companions. She also volunteers at the PAWS Shelter in Kyle.
