A Message from Kelsey
I’m a graduate student from Gonzaga University studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling and I’m an intern here at Center for Solace. We care a lot about quality, individualized care that’s inclusive and personal. In counseling, we get to share a unique relationship where we spend time together to connect and work to accomplish your goals. I love what I do and that I get to work with clients from children to the elderly using a psychoanalytic and narrative approach. I’m excited to be with you on this path of personal discovery and growth. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck or struggling with some internal conflict. I help clients evolve by listening to their stories, coming from a place of curiosity, and at times challenging faulty beliefs so that they might have greater insight into what they might want to resolve. I hope to create an environment that fosters growth and self-awareness through my presence and thoughtfulness during our time together. I am confident that my academic and clinical experience during the path of licensure has prepared me to support your mental health and wellness goals.
