Welcome! My name is Chelsea Lye and I am grateful for the opportunity to join you on your journey towards personal growth.

I hold a Marriage and Family Therapy License in the state of Arizona (LMFT-15751), Idaho (LMFT-9297), and Washington (LF 60802092) . I am a Child Mental Health Specialist (CMHS) and an Approved Clinical Supervisor with over nine years of post-graduate experience. In 2020, I opened my private practice, Kailani Counseling & Wellness, PLLC, and I completed a Yoga Alliance registered teacher training (RYT 200) course to become a yoga teacher.

The Hawaiian word, Kailani, means “sea and sky.” Kailani is significant to me because it symbolizes my family’s roots in Hawai’i and evokes a sense of peacefulness that is found when staring at the line between the sea and the sky.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and our dog, taking long walks with friends, discovering new brunch spots, combing through secondhand bookstores for well-loved poetry books and novels, practicing yoga, and wandering/wondering outdoors in nature.

In our sessions together, I will work to provide a calm and welcoming space to help you explore themes from your early life to present day. Some of the common themes that I address in therapy are anxiety, depression, OCD, perfectionism, perinatal mental health, childhood trauma, relationships with family members and/or partners, vocational stress, and increased emotional well-being. I am looking forward to working with you!
