Hi, my name is Kiersten Kelley (she/her), the Owner, and Lesbian Therapist at Liberation Counseling, LLC, the place where social justice and counseling meet. Here at Liberation Counseling, you can access quality teletherapy and mental health and social justice resources. As a mixed queer woman and LGBTQ affirming therapist I see every day how environments and systems can affect our mental health and ability to heal and feel safe. That is why social justice and counseling go hand in hand in finding liberation. I work with adolescents and adults with challenges such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, identity, self-esteem, and trauma.

I know how difficult it can be looking for a therapist. I am here to let you know there is a soft and safe space to land. Together, we work through symptoms related to depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem or past trauma with a mind-body approach. I am a somatic therapist, EMDR & embodiment trained, with lived experience. I specialize in the unique challenges & pressures for creatives & public-facing careers, such as founders, media personalities, and the entertainment industry. I am sex-positive, sexuality/gender/kink affirmative, and committed to social justice principles.

Trauma is linked to anxiety, depression, and relationship problems (Bessel, 2021). We tend to think that trauma only happens to war veterans or victims of assault. However, being raised in an unpredictable home, difficult relationship with parents, or exposed to stress etc. can have a life-long impact. People can feel hesitant about seeking treatment for trauma because it can open a door to feeling overwhelmed. However, this is not the case with the therapy I provide, Somatic Experiencing, a therapy that takes years to be trained on.

I help professional men who feel depressed and anxious because they have experienced trauma. Men who are having relationship difficulties and feel uncertain about what they want in their lives. Who struggle with their sexuality and do not know where they fit in? Their lives are not working because they feel stuck and unable to attain their life goals. By exploring in-depth the function of their depression and anxiety we can understand the underline issues and challenge those cognitive distortions. So, the change not only happens cognitively but also with bodily awareness.

I recognize the impact of trauma in my client's lives and seek to help them embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery. Many of the clients I support are dealing with the effects of past traumas, which may manifest as emotional distress, physical symptoms, or challenges in daily functioning. You may be seeking support for managing body-based distress and are open to exploring body-based tools for healing outside of cognitive therapy. Many of the modalities I use are based on the understanding that trauma is not only a psychological experience but also a physiological one, involving the body's nervous system.

Accepting new clients! Stop putting yourself last, break free of self-sabotaging habits, and start uncovering your authentic self to move toward the future you're dreaming of. Many of the patterns we experience in our lives are the result of things we have learned in our past environments. This can show up in our lives as anxiety, stress, depression, feelings of disconnection, sadness, and more. Maybe you find yourself agreeing with those around you just to keep the peace, unsure of your own needs, acting like a chameleon to fit in with those around you, or anxious just trying to handle the stressors of your daily life.

What if you were able to remove mental blocks, self-doubt, get clear on how to achieve your goals, overcome trauma, and improve your relationships? What will that look and feel like? Take a moment to envision it. If you've been feeling like you are unable to catch a break, anxious or depressed, stressed out, emotionally defeated and exhausted - I am here to help. I specialize in individual and relationship counseling; with a focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD. I am also able to address and explore many issues and concerns related to Mental Health and Wellness to provide you with an effective therapy experience.

Hi there, I'm Alexia, Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, workplace stress, chronic pain, or past trauma? I specialize in treating individuals with these concerns.

My intention as a therapist is to empower individuals be in tune with their deepest truths and to relate to life in a more authentic way. By providing a warm environment, I hope my clients feel safe to express what matters to them. My therapeutic approach is strongly influenced by more than 12 years of a dedicated meditation practice. I utilize mindfulness and somatic approaches in supporting people to become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. In doing so, I trust that our ability to welcome our experience creates possibilities for healing and ultimately to cultivate a "life worth living."

Why am I like this? Seeking the answer to this question is the reason people want to work with me. I believe everyone deserves to know, love, and accept their whole self. Through the therapeutic process you will learn the skills to understand your past experiences and face future challenges with more confidence. Healing and self-discovery are long-term investments for yourself and the people in your life. There is no “one size fits all” solution, which is why I incorporate elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, DBT, Somatic Therapy, and Attachment Theory into my therapeutic approach.

It is hard for you to share or understand how you are feeling? do you manage your stress at work? are you having somatic symptoms, feelings in your body without a organic reason? it is hard for you to fall asleep? Do you feel insecure around many people? do you blame yourself about everything you say? “I help through a wellness model, connect and understand your emotions, by looking into your achievements and strengths that will build your self-confidence, in order to be ready to accept your past experiences, enjoy the present and be ready to focus on your goals to face the future”.

I believe that true emotional healing comes through holistically tending to the body, mind and spirit. I offer full range psychotherapy services that I combine with several Somatic or body-based techniques. As a registered Yoga Teacher, I have been known to incorporate meditation, breathing or physical postures in my sessions. The research shows that trauma, grief and the after effects of some of our experiences are stored in our bodies. What better way to heal or release them from our bodies than to intentionally use body exercises to move this harmful trauma energy out for good. I work with new mothers, children and families.

I specialize in trauma, from mild traumas to PTSD and CPTSD, narcissistic abuse, and religious trauma. I emphasize the mind-body connection and rely on somatic therapies and evidence-based therapies like EMDR, in which I am fully certified with advanced training. Additionally, I specialize in relationship stress and anxiety for individuals and/or couples. For couples/marriage counseling I use attachment theory to guide my work. Beyond these specializations, I help individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, stress, and life transitions, aiming to provide holistic and compassionate care for healing and growth.

Complex PTSD symptoms include emotional flashbacks (constant fight/flight/freeze triggers), a tyrannical inner critic, toxic shame, self abandonment, social anxiety, and relationship issues. This distressing experience can feel isolating and confusing, and like there is something wrong with you. The good news is there isn't - the human nervous system is intelligent and doing its best to protect us. We can learn to soften, self-soothe and communicate more deeply with our innermost self with somatic therapy. I also support with psychedelic integration, sexual awakening and am certified in yoga, breathwork, and nondual somatic inquiry.
