About
I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen and understood, and I strive to create a compassionate, collaborative space where you can process life's challenges, build on your strengths, and move toward lasting change.
Hi, I'm Kelsey Bass, M.A., LPC. I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), life transitions, relationship challenges, and stress. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we work to better understand your experiences, develop effective coping skills, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change in a supportive and collaborative environment where you feel heard and valued.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centered techniques to help you process difficult experiences, build practical coping skills, and create the lasting, meaningful change you deserve.
Reaching out for support takes courage, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're navigating a difficult season or seeking personal growth, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. When you're ready, I invite you to take the first step toward healing and lasting change.

As a first-generation Hispanic therapist, I understand the stress and hardships that come with navigating life within 2 cultures and how forging your own path has unique challenges.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 7 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through a wide range of mental health concerns. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, and the effects of trauma. I also support individuals affected by substance use and domestic violence, as well as couples seeking to strengthen communication and emotional connection. I have experience working in both agency and private practice settings and am especially passionate about supporting individuals navigating cultural identity and relational dynamics.
I earned my master’s degree in professional counseling from Texas State University in San Marcos. I often draw from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness-based approaches to support emotional regulation and relational growth.
I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we will identify your needs, clarify your goals, and build practical skills that align with your values. I invite you to schedule an appointment so we can begin working toward meaningful and lasting change.

My personal experiences with trauma and loss have given me a strong understanding of life's challenges and the value of developing skills that foster healing, resilience, and growth.
I provide individual, family, and couples counseling services, specializing in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, adjustment disorders, addiction and relationship challenges. My approach is trauma-informed and focuses on helping clients develop effective coping skills, improve emotional regulation, strengthen communication, process difficult life experiences, and build resilience.
Through evidence-based interventions, psychoeducation, emotional regulation strategies, communication skills, and strength-based support, I help clients build resilience, improve coping, and achieve meaningful personal growth towards healing.
Taking the first step toward healing can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face life's challenges alone. I am committed to providing a supportive and compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. When you are ready, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you on your journey.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Premarital counseling is a type of therapy that helps couples prepare for and build a happy, successful marriage. Premarital therapists at Thriveworks in The Woodlands, TX can help couples develop essential communication skills, identify potential conflict areas, and learn how to manage their specific relationship issues.
When you and your partner begin premarital counseling, your counselor will want to get to know you both as well as your relationship. In order to accomplish this, they will ask questions around the following:
If there is a particular area that they feel needs to be explored further (for example, you note that you and your partner have very different spending habits and views on money), they’ll guide the conversation in the given direction.
Premarital counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
Generally speaking, Thriveworks premarital counseling in The Woodlands typically lasts for 8-10 weeks. This, however, can vary depending on the counselor’s approach as well as the clients’ preferences and needs. For example, some couples might request additional sessions to work through problem areas that they’ve identified in their relationship pre-wedding.
Emily and Sandra have been dating for three years and have begun asking themselves if marriage is in their future. Ben and Danielle have been engaged for almost a year now, but they keep putting off the wedding. Danielle is pushing to have it soon, but Ben is wondering if he’s ready for marriage. Cassidy and Jack have sent out invitations, chosen the cake, and ordered the flowers; now they want to prepare their hearts for a life-time commitment.
Premarital counseling at The Woodlands, TX, can meet all of those scenarios. There are a lot of preconceived notions about who goes to premarital counseling and what the purpose of premarital counseling is. It’s not just for hesitant or struggling couples, and it’s not just for confident couples. It’s for both and everyone in between!
Whatever your questions or feelings around marriage, they are valid, and our The Woodlands therapists would love to walk with you through the doubts, excitement, questions, and celebrations. Wherever you and your partner are at in your marriage journey, The Woodlands premarital counselors can help you grow together and build a bright future.

Premarital counseling in The Woodlands, TX, will meet you where you are at and go at your pace. Counseling is about you, not us, and our premarital counseling sessions will reflect our client-centered philosophy.
In our years of experience and training, we’ve found five key areas that are prominent in most couples’ premarital counseling sessions:
The premarital counseling sessions in The Woodlands can address much more than just those areas! These are just a good jumping off point for many counselors.

Premarital counseling can increase your likelihood of happiness and longevity in marriage by 30%, research says. Premarital counseling in The Woodlands isn’t just about the past and present, it’s about the future.
While our therapists will always work with you and your partner in structuring a session, our discussions might include:
There is a stigma around premarital counseling that it is only for struggling couples, or that going will end up hurting your relationship more than strengthening it. And it’s true that premarital counseling can be uncomfortable at times. However, it is always better to face this uncomforted now then years down the road when you are already in a marriage. Every relationship struggles, goes through rough patches, and has weaknesses. This is part of being and loving a human! It is nothing to be ashamed of, only something to be aware of. More than anything, premarital counseling is a show of united strength. By committing to premarital counseling, you are telling your partner: I love you, and I’m willing to face myself to grow closer to you.
The Woodlands, TX counselors understand the weight of the decision to attend counseling. It’s a commitment of time, money, and energy, and it’s a commitment to the future of your relationship. The Woodlands counselors thank you for the courage and strength it takes to consider counselor, and we look forward to meeting you both!
