Navigating the search for the right therapist can be challenging, and I recognize the courage required to seek help. As a psychotherapist, I offer a non-judgmental environment for children, adolescents, and adults. Building a foundation of trust, care, and respect is essential in our therapeutic relationship.

Listening attentively, understanding your unique experiences, and tailoring specialized treatments to meet individual needs are at the core of my practice.

I am a strengths-based, transmasculine therapist who aims to provide a safe, welcoming, and affirming space for people to be their true selves. My approach to therapy is humanistic and centers the stories and lived experiences of my clients. I also often utilize the tenants of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as a framework to support clients’ self-awareness and personal growth, and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to support clients with social anxiety, anxiety, depression, and navigating alcohol and substance use.

Whether it’s your first time or you’ve been in therapy before, I’m glad you’re here! My hope is to create a safe, encouraging and oftentimes silly and sarcastic environment to partner with you in the next step of your story. I’m a licensed certified social worker - clinical and a psychotherapist. My time working as a psychotherapist in schools and the surrounding community has led me to become passionate in addressing and advocating for a person's needs and strengths.

Maybe you feel excited, yet something warns you not to get your hopes up because it’ll never work out. Perhaps you love your partner but don't really like them. Or you feel stuck in a job for financial security, but deeply desire change that will allow you to live truer to yourself.

I’m Kelsey (she/they) & I’m a Licensed Clinical Art Therapist from Portland OR working in Frederick with 10 years of experience as an Art Therapist in the US & abroad. I help clients work through the pain of trauma, grief, anxiety, self-esteem issues, depression, relationships & family dynamics, & toxic masculinity. Clients come to me wanting to manage tough emotions, improve communication, deal with conflict & find healthy coping skills to replace the ones they started using as a means of survival that maybe aren't the safest for them. My approach is warm, patient & empowering with a bit of sass & playful humor mixed in as a treat.

I work best with individuals who are ready to embark on a journey of healing and personal growth. My ideal client is someone who is motivated and open to exploring their inner world, regardless of whether they are facing specific challenges such as trauma, anxiety, or depression, or seeking to enhance their overall well-being. You may be feeling stuck or overwhelmed by past experiences, and you are eager to find effective ways to heal and move forward. You are willing to engage in the therapeutic process with openness and curiosity, ready to collaborate on developing insights and strategies that promote lasting change.

For the past 16 yrs I've worked primarily with children & adolescents* on the autism spectrum. Of course working with children means working with parents; partnering with parents is essential so that the progress we make in sessions carries over to everyday family life. There is nothing better than finding the "secret" to reaching a child and seeing them blossom before your eyes. It might not happen overnight, but believe me, it happens. To make the most progress, children should begin therapy as early as possible. * I can see adult clients and couples, wkdays between 11 am - 2 pm.

I am a licensed psychotherapist, holding a Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work and Level II Certification in Advanced Trauma Treatment. With over 18 years of experience, I counsel persons struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, histories of abandonment and abuse, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach deepens personal understanding and provides a broader perspective offering freedom from self-limiting thoughts and behavioral patterns. In my private practice, I help clients relieve emotional distress, achieve their desired goals, and move toward creating healthy, enduring relationships.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you often wonder if life can feel better in some way? That you could be more content? We know life can throw complex challenges our way that can change the way we view the world, our relationships and, at times, ourselves. Not taking time for yourself, and pushing away your own needs, can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe these experiences can be transformed to serve as sources of empowerment and growth.

My goal as a therapist is to work to help you overcome hurts of the past, find peace in the present, and build a more promising future.  I hope to walk alongside you during the process of change, and provide a source of strength and focus. It is important to me that I provide a safe, accepting, and empowering environment for every individual seeking therapy in my office.  I strive to offer a holistic perspective which includes the mind, body, and spirit to help you connect with your life in a genuine manner.

If you or your teen are struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, relationship stressors, focus, and low motivation, I can help. You deserve to take the time to stop and process how you are feeling, what you are thinking, and what change you would like to see. In doing so you will create a deep and meaningful relationship with yourself and others. My therapeutic process helps you explore your inner dialogue to see what impact your thoughts have on your mood, behavior, and self-worth.

Are you currently struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, unresolved trauma, or relationship issues? We all face challenges in our journey through life that may feel too heavy to manage on our own. My primary goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for a client to feel supported and empowered in navigating each individual journey and experience. I am passionate about helping clients from all backgrounds identify their strengths, explore opportunities for growth, and reach their desired goals at a comfortable pace.
