Rachel Parodneck & Associates PsychotherapyVirtual Therapy Across New York State
Chelsea Bonosky, LMSW
Psychotherapist
Chelsea is a sexual and reproductive trauma specialist supporting moms in every definition of the word - birthing and non-birthing - and women navigating motherhood, caregiving, changing family roles, and rediscovering themselves through life's transitions.
"I believe therapy can be a gentle place to exhale - to feel seen, heard, and cared for without judgment."
About Chelsea
Chelsea specializes in working with people who have experienced sexual and reproductive trauma - including intimate partner violence, IVF and fertility trauma, and perinatal and postpartum experiences. She knows these experiences intersect with many other emotional injuries, and has supported clients through grief, anxiety, depression, and complex PTSD alongside them.
Her approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative. She often incorporates mindfulness and somatic practices to help you reconnect with your body, cultivate a sense of safety, and listen to what your body and emotions may be communicating - because trauma healing isn't only understood, it's felt.
You don't have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. In Chelsea's words: you simply have to arrive as you are. She feels deeply honored to walk alongside people as they make sense of their experiences, reconnect with themselves, and find their way toward healing.
How Chelsea Works
Trauma-informed care that treats healing as something felt, not just understood:
Trauma-Focused CBT

Mindfulness & Somatic
Reconnecting with your body and its signals, and rebuilding a felt sense of safety.
Reproductive Specialty
