In honor of Labor Day—
Here’s to the moms who don’t clock out.
The ones who work 24/7, 365 days a year.
The ones whose labor never ends—packing lunches, wiping tears, juggling schedules, and carrying the invisible weight that no one else sees.
Yes, it’s a labor of love. But it’s still labor.
And it deserves to be recognized.
So let’s honor the moms whose job description is endless, whose breaks are rare, and whose love is constant.
You are the heartbeat of your families.
You are seen. You are valued. You are appreciated.
Happy Labor Day to the moms who never stop working.

CHELSEA CROW-FUENTES, LMFT, PMH-C
My specialty has first & foremost evolved through personal experiences & life stages, which have helped me understand trauma & perinatal issues at a deeper level than education & training can bring. I am a wife & mama first, & then a therapist.
And I’m sure you want to know about my official qualifications besides just my own personal experiences (that’s fair). I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist & certified in perinatal mental health. I have been in practice for six years. I hold a BA in Psychology from UCLA, & an MA in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage & Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University. I have specialized training in maternal mental health, am trained in EMDR to help reprocess through symptoms such as perinatal mood & anxiety disorders, PTSD, early attachment issues, intergenerational trauma, depression, anxiety, etc.
My travels & international experiences doing clinical work in East Africa have given me a passion for cross-cultural counseling. I have extensive experience (here in Orange County as well as cross-cultural counseling experience in Kenya) working with those who have walked through traumatic life experiences, those living with HIV/AIDS, those struggling with addiction/substance abuse, & college students struggling with identity issues & self-harm behaviors. In addition to being a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I am a former Certified Addiction Treatment Counselor.
My husband & I created the group Baby Bumps & Brushes during our own pregnancy, an expressive arts therapeutic group to help process through a variety of perinatal stages. We work together as Couple for Couples Counseling, & see couples together as a couple offering weekly therapy & intensive therapy, retreats, groups & workshops. We are Level I & II trained in the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy, & are educators for the Gottman Institute’s programs, Bringing Baby Home & the 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work.
I emphasize a holistic approach focusing on mind, body, spirit, soul & community as interactive forces. If you know anything about psychological orientations, I fall under a humanistic/existential/experiential approach. What this means is I generally perceive you as the expert of your life & I take on the role of consultant. I am an open, genuine, & real person, & come from the belief that humans are fundamentally good. I believe trauma & past experiences discolor and taint our perceptions & ultimately our lives, & I work to dig deep into the root of the problems for long-term benefits rather than just addressing the symptoms for short-term relief. I walk alongside you on your journey towards healing as a fellow human being, & facilitate growth through uncovering your authentic goodness & true self that has been muddled by the “ick” (the actual clinical term). Other than that - I utilize a variety of expressive arts therapies including visual arts, music, journaling/writing, movement, etc.. I’m a dancer - currently hula - and I love bringing a creative approach to my therapy sessions. I look forward to connecting with you and walking with you on this path of healing.
