Introduction

Hi! I’m Kelsey (she/they) & I’m a Licensed Clinical Art Therapist from Portland OR working in Frederick with 6 years of experience with complex trauma in the US & Abroad. I help kids & teens work through the pain of trauma, grief, anxiety, self-esteem issues, depression, relationships & bullies, & 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. Art Therapy combines talk therapy & creativity to gain insight & improve wellbeing. Offering anyone who’s experienced trauma a sense of safety & containment & the right to be seen, art lets us “tell without talking" either as an act of rebellion in a society that demands our silence or when we can't seem to find the words (a direct impact trauma has on the brain). Art can feel less threatening for some of us. Think about it - opening up to a complete stranger about your darkest demons - can be pretty anxiety-provoking. You may find we'll establish a trusting relationship quicker this way. Reach out with any questions. I look forward to hearing your story at your own pace & am proud of you for taking the first step.
