Chelsea Siler
@chelseasiler
I provide substance use and behavioral health counseling across high-acuity treatment settings.
What I'm looking for
I provide substance use and behavioral health counseling for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. My work centers on group facilitation, crisis intervention, treatment planning, and accurate clinical documentation.
At Wilmington Treatment Center, I counseled clients, facilitated psychoeducational and process groups, maintained treatment plans and progress notes, and coordinated care with treatment teams and healthcare providers.
I have delivered SACOT and SAIOP outpatient counseling focused on relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and coping strategies. I also bring behavioral therapy experience implementing intervention plans, skill-acquisition programs, reinforcement strategies, and natural environment teaching alongside BCBAs and caregivers.
Across residential, community, and in-home settings, I've supported clients with safety planning, daily living skills, medication monitoring, de-escalation, and community stability. I'm committed to helping vulnerable individuals build functional skills, manage crises, and access effective care.
