Testimonials

“Please know that I have always looked up to you (Nancy) and taken every thing you have said, shared, advised, and counseled to heart and have tried to use it to better myself, to strive for recovery, for something better. I know i wasn't always the easiest client to work with, I have many times of stubbornness and defiance that I am sure was frustrating yet you continued to keep pushing for me...thank you.”

“I have known Nancy for over 13 years and have worked with her in a number of different roles. Nancy is a very strong therapist who is able to quickly and adequately conceptualize cases and develop interventions and evidence based treatment plans. More importantly, Nancy develops safe and strong connections with her clients, while providing empathic support to empower clients to make the change they desire. Nancy will forever be on my referral list!”

-Emily Hartman, LPC

“I did work closely with Nancy for over thirteen years. During this time I have seen her to be astute in clinical work. She lends a caring strength to clients with both support and challenging them to promote positive change. I look forward to being able to refer to Nancy in the future.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Nancy Albus at the Bariatric Counseling Center of San Antonio for the past 3 years. During that time, I have witnessed on many occasions her unique ability to connect and work with this vulnerable and therapeutically complex population. Her knowledge, skillset, and empathy far surpass those of any other individual that I have worked with in similar settings and I highly recommend that she be given the opportunity to pass that knowledge on to others willing to learn. Mrs. Albus would be a fantastic educator and supervisor to those individuals wanting to learn about, and improve, eating disorder care.” 

- Dr. Nathan S. Johnston, DO., Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, Adjunct Faculty of UT Health San Antonio


“My experience in therapy with Chelsea Rice has been nothing short of lifechanging. Over the past few years she has helped me understand myself, the world, and day-to-day life so much better. I’ve had some extremely difficult times and throughout all of them I always felt safe and comforted going to therapy. It hasn’t been easy but I would not be the strong, confident, and self-aware woman I am today without her help.”

-M

“I have shared clients with Chelsea throughout the years and am so excited to have her as a referral source for clients. Not only does Chelsea use evidence based modalities such as EMDR, CBT, and IFS, she is a caring, compassionate, relatable therapist. Clients have given me direct feedback that they feel very understood by, connected to, and supported by Chelsea. I highly recommend her!”

-Emily Hartman, LPC

“I have always known Chelsea to be a thoughtful and conscientious therapist. During the time I worked with Chelsea she showed an enthusiasm to learn new skills which has led to her being a caring and effective therapist. I feel confident in referring clients to her knowing they will get the best care.”

-Jim Gerber PhD

“Chelsea was the right person with whom to process when I was in need of serious help. She is an exemplar of what every therapist aims to be; I was nearly disabled with anxiety, and panic attacks, when I came to her practice. She was able to effortlessly blend different practice modalities to help me arrive at a more comprehensive sense of myself, and guide me toward a more coherent story of my life’s history. I wholeheartedly recommend Chelsea for anyone who needs help, particularly those who find themselves near the end of their ability to cope.”
