Chelsea Carnes,MSW, LCSW

Chelsea Carnes,MSW, LCSW Welcome! I am a licensed clinical social worker and co-founder of Willow Counseling Collective. I am a clinical social worker specializing in treating trauma.

I bring almost a decade of experience to those I serve in Central Texas with expertise in trauma. I have worked at our local advocacy center in numerous roles, juvenile probation, and foster care. I have been in private practice for over six years serving my community. Aside from individual treatment, I have a heart for community work. My clinical focus was in policy and macro level social work. I

enjoy giving back to my community. This page is to learn more about new services I am offering that foster my community work! I am happy to begin offering trainings virtually and in person. These trainings are for agencies, work places, and professionals alike. In the near future, I will also begin clinical supervision. Join me in learning

Always enjoy UMHBS ethics trainings! It's always better with good company 😉

Today the four social workers of the group spent time in an ethics training put on by the UMHB social work department 📚 because ethical care isn’t optional. It is foundational.

We believe:

✨ Our clients deserve the highest standard of care
✨ Ongoing education makes us stronger clinicians
✨ Integrity should guide every clinical decision

We’re grateful to serve this community and proud to do the work well. 💛 Thanks for hosting us today UMHB!

🎉 It’s Chelsea’s birthday week, so let's introduce her!

Chelsea brings over a decade of experience supporting children, families, and individuals across diverse settings, including local foster care, non-profit agencies, and juvenile probation. For the past seven years, she has been in private practice, where she has focused on doing deep, meaningful trauma work.

Trauma is Chelsea’s area of expertise. She is fully trained in TF-CBT and EMDR, with a strong foundation in evidence-based care. She also has extensive training in play therapy and is just a few short hours away from becoming a Registered Play Therapist (almost there!). Chelsea is currently working toward full EMDR certification, engaging in additional consultation to continue sharpening her skills and showing up as the best possible provider for her clients.

While Chelsea specializes in working with children, she also sees adults, and is known for blending clinical expertise with warmth, creativity, and connection. She thrives on staying connected to the community and loves finding thoughtful ways to integrate Willow into the broader community. 

✨ Fun fact: Chelsea recently took up golf and has developed a strong love/hate relationship with the sport...but remains committed!! (most days)
