MEET YOUR THERAPIST
Chelsey Mayo
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I’m a student therapist and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) at Rebound Total Health. I have always been drawn to hearing the stories of others, and the power of connection and community. I have over 14 years of experience supporting individuals of varying backgrounds, ages, and cultures navigate a variety of issues. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the heart of counselling and will work to create a warm, authentic, and supportive environment. Whether you are seeking to improve your relationships, increase your overall well-being, or are encountering significant life challenges, I am here to assist you!
A life with hope is possible. You don’t have to continue feeling stuck, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Adaptable: I am open to adjusting to meet your needs. There’s no pressure or stress as I aim to ensure the session, format, and modality works for you!

What does a session with me look like?
I tailor the session to meet your needs! A typical session includes checking-in, reviewing what’s on your mind and making a plan. I want our sessions to feel natural, easy and authentic, while taking steps forward. We may focus on something new that’s come up or follow-up with a discussion from a previous session.
