Professional Background

Chelsey Church is a Mental Health Technology Editor at ChoosingTherapy.com. With almost a decade of experience in the mental health field, she has worked in a variety of roles—both virtually and in person—providing direct support to individuals navigating complex challenges. She is deeply familiar with the advantages and limitations of accessing care, and is in a unique position to help guide you on your mental health journey.

Before joining Choosing Therapy, Chelsey worked in both community and telehealth mental health settings, providing case management for high-acuity clients. After earning her undergraduate degree from Tusculum College, she served individuals and families in rural communities near where she grew up, helping them access essential resources and support. In 2019, she earned a Master of Science Degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and later transitioned into the telehealth space, where she worked to bridge gaps in care through online therapy platforms. Chelsey also has experience in crisis stabilization and suicide prevention, having provided support through an online crisis chatline.

Why I Write for Choosing Therapy

I write for Choosing Therapy because it allows me to combine my passion for writing with my commitment to expanding access to quality mental health care. Choosing Therapy’s editorial independence and high standards make it possible for me to provide honest, well-informed, and unbiased reviews of mental health tools, services, and platforms.

After working in the mental health field for almost a decade, I’ve seen firsthand where virtual care can fall short. Writing for Choosing Therapy gives me the opportunity to highlight those gaps and recommend companies that are truly focused on delivering effective, compassionate support.
