Hi, I’m Kelsey! As a dedicated therapist located right here in Portsmouth, NH, serving the wider Seacoast, NH area, I am deeply committed to helping individuals of all ages – children, adolescents, and adults – navigate the complexities of their emotional and behavioral well-being. For over a decade, my mission has been to make a positive impact on the lives of young people and adults, fostering growth and resilience.
My unique background as both a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) provides me with a comprehensive understanding of the diverse needs individuals face across various settings and life stages. This dual perspective allows me to offer insightful and effective therapy and counseling tailored to your specific circumstances. My goal is to cultivate a nurturing and sensitive environment where you or your child feels truly supported, understood, and empowered to make meaningful progress.
I firmly believe that effective therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why I draw upon a range of evidence-based therapeutic interventions, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques. By thoughtfully blending these approaches, I can tailor our sessions to the unique needs of each child, adolescent, or adult I work with in Portsmouth, NH and the Seacoast, NH region.
