Meet Dr. Seaton-Bacon

Empowering you to cultivate and maintain your health.

Dr. Audrey Seaton-Bacon brings an integrative perspective and presence to her practice. Her warmth, stamina, passion, and success can be attributed to her belief that every person has value and is worth fighting for.

"Injuries occur in relationship, and therefore must be addressed and worked through in the therapeutic relationship."

She collaborates with her clients, cultivating awareness, and empowering them with the skills to identify and change maladaptive patterns; and to create, and maintain lasting change.

My Mission: To help you cultivate and maintain your health, bringing meaning back to life.

What is Chesed?

Chesed, pronounced heh-sed, is a Hebrew word that signifies goodness, loving-kindness, or faithfulness. It is the heart of our practice and the foundation of how we care for our community.

The first letter of the word is the letter Chet, the character shown in our logo. In Hebrew tradition, the letter Chet represents the number eight, reflecting a place of protection, a sanctuary, and the promise of a new life or new birth.

Chesed Counseling & Coaching Center, LLC is more than just a name; it is a safe and therapeutic space where you can go for personal growth, education, or support. We offer every client a soothing environment—a space without judgment, and an experience of true loving-kindness.
