Find a therapist in Jesup, GA — covered by insurance

Hello! I have a masters in Clinical Mental Health counseling from Georgia Southern, and have practiced in a variety of settings since 2013. I work with clients with Anxiety, depression, Grief, OCD, adjustment issues, and couples counseling.

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!

Deciding to seek therapy is a significant step towards personal growth and well-being. By considering this option, you're already demonstrating a commitment to improving your life.

Therapy for all. High-Functioning Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, and Relationship Stress.

Are you struggling behind the smile you show to the world? Are handling your responsibilities, showing up for others, and getting things done, but internally dealing with overthinking, stress, frustration, or feeling stuck?

Do you feel pressured to figure things out alone, not talk about emotions, and keep pushing forward?

I work with those who are tired of overthinking everything, avoiding difficult conversations, anxious, depressed, or feeling like they’re not moving forward in life.

Many of my clients deal with anxiety, ADHD, relationship stress, or burnout, but it shows up as procrastination, anger, shutting down, irritability, isolation, or feeling mentally drained.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not the only one, and you don’t have to keep handling it the same way.

I specialize in sex therapy and relationship counseling for LGBTQ+, gender-expansive, kink-involved, and consensually non-monogamous adults. You may feel capable and self-aware in most areas of life yet unsettled in your closest relationships. Together, we will connect the dots between present triggers and earlier relational experiences so recurring patterns can be understood and shifted with intention.

You don’t have to keep doing everything on your own.

Maybe you’re used to being the strong one—the person who keeps going, takes care of everyone else, and pushes through even when you’re exhausted. But underneath it all, you may be anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, angry, or simply tired of feeling like you’re constantly in survival mode.

Maybe your mind won’t slow down. You overthink everything, struggle to sleep, feel stuck in patterns you don’t understand, or find yourself reacting more strongly than you want to. Maybe relationships have become difficult, you’re struggling to reconnect with the people you love, or you’re wondering, “Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”

You don’t have to come to therapy with all the answers. We can work together to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, untangle the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools to help you feel more grounded and in control. My goal isn’t simply to help you manage symptoms—it’s to help you understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and build a life that feels more like yours.

I also believe that healing can involve the deeper questions of life. If spirituality, faith, personal beliefs, purpose, or meaning are important to you, I welcome bringing those parts of yourself into therapy. Sometimes healing isn’t just about feeling less anxious or depressed—it’s about reconnecting with who you are, what matters to you, and the life you want to create.

You’ve spent enough time surviving. You deserve the opportunity to heal, reconnect, and truly live. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to help you along the way.

I was born and raised in one of Nigeria’s vibrant and bustling cities, where I learned the values of community, resilience, and compassion from an early age. Inspired by a deep desire to make a difference in people’s lives, I pursued my education in health care. This journey has been a blessing and a privilege, allowing me to work in health care and provide care for the people I love and serve.

My family and I have built a home filled with love and laughter. They bring joy and inspiration to my life every day. I'm excited to support my clients in bringing that same love and joy and laughter back into their own lives.

I believe everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach to care. Once we decide to work together, we’ll act as partners in your therapeutic journey. It’s important to me that we communicate openly and you feel respected in our relationship. I’ll be there to listen to you, challenge you, and support you along the way.

My goal is to explore the root of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to create lasting healing. I love this work, and everyone I work with holds a special place in my heart. I have studied multiple treatments in order to help with parenting, trauma, self-perception, and many challenges with mood, thoughts, and behavior that are not making you feel proud of yourself or your life. PCIT helps children ages 2-6; ABFT is helpful for adolescents experiencing many issues, including suicidal ideation and self-harm. IFS is extremely helpful for a wide range of challenges, including trauma. I also incorporate AEDP and coherence therapy to round out my approach to the healing work.
