Dr. Chelsey Wilkes is a licensed clinical psychologist and offers adult specialty services in the assessment and treatment of trauma and stressor-related disorders. Everyone has their own journey to recovery, and her focus is helping you find yours. She relies on empirically-supported treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (including cognitive processing therapy and prolonged exposure), dialectical behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches, and often focuses on the mind-body connection in therapy. Her areas of expertise include sexual trauma, military trauma, depression, anxiety, stress management, and emotional issues. Dr. Wilkes also has experience in providing exposure and response prevention for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Dr. Wilkes earned her doctoral degree from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science and completed an APA-approved predoctoral internship at the Missouri Health Sciences Consortium (Harry S. Truman VA) and a postdoctoral residency, specializing in trauma, at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center. Dr. Wilkes enjoys working with adults.
