You don’t have to have it
all figured out to be here.
Therapy for the "everyday chaos,” from the mental game of high performance to the heavy landscape of trauma, grief, and burnout. Let's help you stop playing emotional whack-a-mole and start feeling like yourself again.
Welcome to Nurturing Hope
A place where healing begins, and hope is nurtured.
Therapy isn't about fixing someone who is "broken." It’s about getting unstuck.
Sometimes life takes a "weird left turn." Whether you are a high-performer hitting a wall, a caregiver facing burnout, or a parent navigating a "tornado of feelings," your story matters. We dig into the underlying narratives, the lies you’ve started to believe because of hard experiences, and work together to uncover the truth of who you are.
A Space to Hold Hope (and maybe share a laugh).
Show up exactly as you are, even if that means sweatpants and tears. We balance the intensity of deep trauma work with humor, because laughter is a form of healing.
We use evidence-based tools like EMDR, DBT, and TF-CBT to rebuild self-worth and process experiences so they stop stinging. We’ll spend our time getting you regulated and supported, setting a path that feels manageable rather than heavy.
We support people through:
Grief and loss
Childhood or relational trauma
Parenting stress and family conflict
Chronic illness or caregiver burnout
Identity discovery and major life transitions
Athlete mindset
Our mission is to hold space for hope.
To help you reconnect with yourself, your strengths, and your story.
We believe meaningful change is possible, and healing can happen when compassion meets courage.
You are worthy of compassion.
You are allowed to ask for help.
You deserve hope and a path forward.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to take the first step.
Let’s begin, together.

About Us
Chelsey Winegar, LCSW
I'm passionate about connecting with people of all ages and helping them discover their inner strengths to navigate life's challenges. With over 15 years of experience, I believe therapy can be both healing and hopeful, even when tackling tough topics. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and even fun space for children and teens navigating overwhelming emotions, teen athletes aiming for peak performance, adults dealing with critical illness, or caregivers experiencing burnout. It's a privilege to support you on your journey to healing.
Beyond my professional life, I'm a wife and mom who thrives on family adventures, especially outdoors. I also enjoy reading, cooking, and baking (despite the flour-covered aftermath!).
