Kelsey Giddings

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


Hello, my name is Kelsey Giddings, and I am a dedicated counselor committed to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve personal growth. My approach to counseling is based on creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.

I have experience working with individuals facing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, self-esteem issues, and personal development. I believe that every person has unique strengths and the capacity for positive change, and I strive to help clients recognize and build upon those strengths.

My counseling style is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. I work alongside clients to identify goals, develop effective coping strategies, and gain greater insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I value authenticity, empathy, and respect in the therapeutic relationship and believe that meaningful change occurs when clients feel supported and understood.

My goal is to help clients increase self-awareness, improve emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and develop the skills needed to face challenges with confidence. I am honored to be part of each client's journey and look forward to supporting them as they work toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Ashley Nelson

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Louisiana


Hello, I’m Ashley Nelson. I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and therapist dedicated to helping individuals move from surviving to truly thriving. With a background in psychiatric nursing, emergency medicine, and specialized training as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE), I bring over a decade of diverse healthcare experience, blending clinical expertise with a deep understanding of human resilience in the face of crisis. My practice focuses on supporting adults, children, and families through life’s challenges — including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and the unique stressors faced by military members, first responders, nurses, and other helping professionals.

I have a deep passion for working with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and complex trauma, providing a safe, compassionate space where healing feels possible. My approach blends evidence-based psychiatric care with practical, real-life strategies, empowering clients to reclaim their sense of control, rebuild confidence, and create lives that feel meaningful again.

With additional licenses in Louisiana, Utah, Arizona, Tennessee, and Florida, I can see patients via telehealth from across the country.
