Chelsea Brigham, MFT Trainee
Therapist
Chelsea Brigham is a Professional Clinical Counselor Trainee currently completing her Master’s in Psychology, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy, at California Southern University. Originally pursuing a career in public relations, Chelsea found herself longing for a path with deeper purpose—one rooted in service and meaningful change. In 2015, she made a seamless transition into the mental health and substance use field, where she has since devoted her career to supporting individuals and families navigating the complex challenges of mental illness, substance misuse, and eating disorders.
Chelsea brings empathy, insight, and humility to her work – shaped from her own therapeutic process, education, and lived experience. Her therapeutic approach is relational; grounded in genuine connection, safety and curiosity. She believes the values and “rules” for living we inherit and internalize both from our families and society can profoundly shape and limit our relationship with ourselves and the world around us. Thus, she holds the process of collaborative discovery and un-becoming alongside her clients — a journey that often opens up freer, more flexible, and more passionate ways of being – a precious gift.
Outside the therapy room, Chelsea is an adventurer at heart. She enjoys discovering new hobbies, exploring the outdoors, and traveling with her loyal four-legged companion, Hank the Hound Dog. She finds joy in family, creativity, and artistic expression—particularly through writing, live music, and cooking.

Therapist
Dear Reader,
Stories help us understand ourselves and connect with others. As an expressive arts facilitator, I became drawn to how people use stories to explore identity, belonging, and generational experiences. I’ve seen how expression through both art and words can support healing.
As an English/Spanish bilingual clinician, I value creating space for people to express themselves in the language that feels most true to them. I’m earning my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at Alliant International University and hold a B.A. in Psychology from Cal State Fullerton. I’m drawn to Narrative Therapy for its focus on helping people reconnect with their values and hopes. I’m especially interested in expressive techniques such as sand tray, abstract art, and creative work with teens.
Outside of therapy, I find peace in nature, painting, soulful music, and sharing good food and laughter with loved ones. I believe in making space for the beautiful, messy, evolving stories we all carry.
It’s a privilege to witness people step into their truth and shape the stories they want to live.
Warmly,
Jennette Pulecio
