A note from Kelsey
I am a trained psychotherapist that has been in the field since 2016. I earned my Master's and Doctoral Degree at the University of Southern California. My focus was mental health, with a special concentration in military and veteran social work and the unique needs this population faces. My areas of expertise are trauma, anxiety, and depression with teens and adults. I am also trained in EMDR and have been practicing this form of therapy since 2018
