Kelsey Miller

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Edgewood, KY


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about working with women and children, providing a compassionate and supportive space to navigate emotional challenges, build coping skills, and foster growth. My approach blends warmth with a multitude of practices to meet each client where they are. I believe every individual brings unique strengths, experiences, and hopes into therapy, and that growth can look different for everyone, from finding small moments of joy to navigating life’s most difficult losses.

My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, recognize your potential, and move forward with greater clarity and compassion. Even in challenging seasons, I believe there is always space for hope, healing, and possibility.

You may be feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, especially if you’ve experienced trauma, toxic relationships, or emotional pain that keeps resurfacing. It can feel overwhelming trying to move forward while still carrying the weight of the past. You don’t have to do this alone. I provide a supportive space where you can begin to understand your story, break free from old patterns, and move toward a more peaceful, meaningful, and purpose-driven life.

Dawn Livingston

Dawn Livingston

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


Here's what I want you to know up front: I'm not going to make you feel like a case file. My background is in crisis intervention, case management, and advocacy — which means I've sat with people at their most unraveling moments, and I've learned that the most important thing isn't having a perfect therapeutic technique. It's making someone feel genuinely seen before asking them to do anything hard.

I specialize in trauma and substance use, and I work with individuals and families across all of Kentucky via telehealth. I'm also one of the very few therapists in the state who is fluent in American Sign Language — so if you or someone in your family communicates in ASL, you don't have to compromise on the quality of care you receive.

I'm openly LGBTQIA+-affirming, and I mean that in practice, not just on a checklist. I've worked with people across the gender and sexuality spectrum and genuinely enjoy holding that space.
