Getting to know Chelsea Bonosky
My name is Chelsea Bonosky, and I am a practicing psychotherapist, earning my Master’s degree in Social Work from Fordham University’s Graduate School of Social Service, with a Specialized Practice Certificate in Crisis and Resilience.
I specialize in sexual and reproductive trauma, and am passionate about supporting my clients to navigate experiences of loss, identity, and healing with compassion and care. Recognizing that everything is interconnected, I have experience navigating sensations of anxiety, depression, and grief.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Before becoming a therapist, I built a rich and diverse career as a professional dancer—a foundation that inspires my holistic, body-centered approach to emotional healing. Integrating somatic modalities with traditional talk therapy, I share the space with my clients to reconnect with their bodies as a source of grounding and resilience.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I am committed to my clients as they walk through their process, offering a space to be seen and supported while they rediscover strength and self-compassion through their healing journey.

My visit with Chelsea was incredibly therapeutic and supportive. She is an amazing listener and provided me with tools to work through a challenging time in my life. I was able to move through this time with more clarity and emotional fortitude thanks to her guidance and openness. I would absolutely recommend Chelsea to anyone going through a family or personal challenge, or even if you desire a sounding board for something you are trying to move through with emotional intelligence.
