Kelsey Burts

Kelsey has a passion for serving others by creating an environment that nurtures love, acceptance, and healing. “Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up.” - Anne Lamott.

Kelsey approaches therapy from a client-lead perspective. She hopes to create a safe space for individuals to work through their conflicts. Kelsey leads with empathy, authenticity, and care as she walks beside her clients. She has a deep passion for helping others and strives to always have a people-first mindset. She has an array of experience working with a variety of issues, such as anxiety, life transitions, trauma, grief, and chronic illnesses. Kelsey works with children, teens, adolescents, and adults.

Kelsey has dedicated extensive time to training in therapeutic approaches that promote trauma resolution.

As a Christian, Kelsey is eager to introduce faith into the sessions when appropriate for the client.
