Hi! My name is Kelsey! I am a fully-licensed therapist who loves working with people with eating disorders, body image issues, OCD, anxiety, childhood sexual abuse, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. At State of Grace Counseling Services, I am dedicated to providing a safe and compassionate space for individuals to explore their mental health, eating disorder, and trauma recovery needs. My mission is to empower clients and their families to overcome challenges, build fulfilling relationships, and increase happiness and meaning in life. I have worked in the eating disorder space for more than 6 years, including being the Clinical Director of an eating disorder program.

I grew up in Richmond, VA, attended undergrad at Furman University, and completed my Masters degree at VCU. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS).

When I am not seeing clients, I enjoy time with friends, hiking, traveling, reading, exploring new restaurants, and game nights.

And yes, the practice name is a nod to both my love of Christ as well as my love of Taylor Swift; gotta love dialectics!

I look forward to working together!

I am passionate about working with students, adults, couples and families to help them strengthen emotional wellness, build confidence, strengthen coping skills and build healthier relationships. I help clients to navigate anxiety, depression, anger management, trauma, life transitions, substance use and abuse, relationship concerns, cultural identity, men's issues, and spiritual integration.

When trying to do it all yourself is no longer working....stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions can feel heavy and burdensome. Would you like to put that down? You need understanding, insight and someone to dig in with what is going on within all the layers that make you...YOU. We all need help sometimes to work through expected and unexpected life events. You may be surprised at how you are responding or that you are researching treatment options period.
