As someone who struggled growing up in this complex world, I've come to learn that it is very important to have a range of support to lean on at any stage in life.
Hi, I'm Kelsey. I currently practice in Washington State, with a focus on youth and young adults. I received an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy from Antioch University Seattle in 2021, and since have gained various experience working in community mental health, child advocacy, university healthcare, and group practice settings. I received full licensure in 2023, having been witness to great supervision and mentorship. I usually work with clients facing struggles with emotional concerns, identity/body issues, loss/grief, trauma, relationship problems, low self-worth, and big life transitions.
My style is warm, creative, and nonchallenging. My approach might include gentle thought restructuring, building coping skills, identity exploration, self-compassion building, and other tools tailored to you or your child's needs. I use a multicultural and systemic lens, collaborating with caregivers, family, other providers, or school supports as needed.
Making the decision to reach out for support is a sign of strength, so thank you for being here! It has been such an honor to witness people grow and reach resiliency, and we are not built to do it alone. I look forward to connecting with you and becoming witness to your journey toward healing, too.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Child therapy, also known as counseling for kids, helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst kids include behavioral issues, trauma, bullying, depression, and anxiety. All ages of children can attend and benefit from child therapy at Thriveworks Washington.
Child therapy works by using multiple techniques tailored to fit the child’s needs based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve play therapy for younger kids or cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks child therapists in Washington, WA have the expertise and experience to help kids at their level.
Child therapy is a type of therapy meant for clients within a specific age group, while play therapy is an approach to therapy that helps children with self-expression and stress relief, among others. Play therapy is a technique that is often used in child therapy to help children express what’s running through their minds when they do not have the words to express their thoughts and emotions. It can get children to express what’s wrong, what might be causing unwanted behaviors, or what they might need in a way that is accessible to them so that therapists can then work to treat the issue.
It’s not always obvious when a child should see a therapist for their behavior, though in the midst of challenges like divorce, loss, bullying, and other mental health conditions, it’s often a good idea to seek it out. Common behaviors that can indicate a need for child therapy include separation anxiety, bedwetting (at inappropriate ages), and agitation/excessive irritability — especially if it reaches a point of physical violence.
Cognitive behavioral therapy at Thriveworks in Washington, WA is one of the best types of therapy for children. However, it can be administered in child therapy sessions in a variety of ways that are more accessible to young minds, such as play therapy.
Child therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of child therapy depends on your child’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, child therapy sessions will last for several months.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.
