Coaching Therapists in East Wenatchee, WA

Hi, I'm Kelsey. I'm so glad you are here! I provide counseling & coaching in person and virtually. Are you ready to experience more freedom in your life? Are you struggling with anxiety, achieving goals, experiencing communication or relational issues? You have just taken the first courageous step toward healing. Life can be difficult to navigate and we all need support, to feel like we are a priority, & have the tools to be in the driver’s seats of our own lives again. Together, we can create a new path that helps you to feel empowered, alive, & experience more freedom.

You know that feeling you get on the first warm, sunny day after a long winter, when it finally feels like spring is near? That is what our heart experiences when we take that first step toward growth and healing. Hope. Hope for new beginnings, hope for new growth, hope for the future. That feeling is just the beginning. Here at Heart Spring Counseling Services, we as a group practice believe that every individual has the capacity for change, to make a different choice at any point in their story to move in a new direction.

As we venture through life, sometimes we find that the expectations we set for ourselves, our partners, and the future are constantly changing. My hope is to ease you through life’s transitions while enriching the relationships you have. I believe therapy should be a safe, non-judgmental, and nurturing place to put down the weights and ease into meaningful conversations. I enjoy working together with clients to identify their strengths, explore ways to reconnect with themselves and others to move forward in ways that feel genuine.

Sometimes it can feel alarming to realize our anxiety, depression or trauma is not just in our heads, but in our bodies as well. We might try to change the way we are thinking, but we still don't feel at home in our own skin. We can start to feel afraid that nothing will ever change. As a somatic (body-centered) psychotherapist trained in trauma across the lifespan, it is my honor to support clients in discovering that much more is possible than at first imagined. I enjoy helping clients identify what is right and natural about themselves, and to heal through their own fully-trustworthy inner wisdom.

I'm naturally interested in how people experience their lives and how they achieve self fulfilment and secure happy family and personal relationships. What I do is help people realize their goals by finding out what they want and need out of life, and then work with them to solve the parts of their lives that cause them frustration or pain. My approach helps individuals and couples problem solve and identify what is blocking them from creating a great relationship or what is stopping them from moving on with their lives after a crisis, loss or divorce.

There are seasons for renewal, change and healing. Seeking therapy is a brave and vulnerable step. My specialty is counseling children, teens, and adults who are strong, but feel weighed down by trauma, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, and self worth. Perhaps you are searching because something feels broken in your life: relationships are disconnected, or an event haunts you from the past, or your emotions are overwhelming. Perhaps you are plagued by hidden grief or rejection, and you feel restless or wounded as a result. You are not alone, and you don't have to stay stuck.

OPEN-FOR-NEW-CLIENTS (All of Washington State). There are times when we all feel stuck, struggling to change, or battling resistance within ourselves. I specialize in relational psychotherapy, treating anxiety and depression, and fostering lasting change within our fundamental way of being.

Relationships are what bring us joy in our lives, but sometimes despite our best efforts we come upon a stumbling block. We find ourselves struggling or unable to connect to those we love and sometimes even to ourselves. Maybe issues from past relationships get in the way, maybe there is a trauma to the relationship (such as illness, job loss, or simply entering a new stage of life such as parenthood or midlife). There may have been an infidelity, loss of job, or emotional issues such as depression / anxiety. Often we just feel a lack of connection we once had.

As a Behavioral Health Therapist for more than 15 years, I feel passionate about assisting clients in the process of coming to know themselves better. By working to establish goals, listening intently, and identifying insights, attending therapy can help you improve self knowledge and directly impact your relationships, work, and play. I specialize in individual and family therapy for ages 16+ focusing on adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, phase of life changes, trauma, and couples counseling. I also have training in sports psychology and specialize in improving sports/professional performance.

YES, Life Can Be Different! I know that you want to live a better life! The problem is that what you need can look very different from what others need. Perhaps, you are experiencing pain from mental illness or broken relationships, and you are looking for a healing guide. You may be feeling unsatisfied and unfulfilled with your life, and instead, you desperately crave an inspiring and fulfilling life. Maybe, your business growth has plateaued, or your team has stagnated, and you are searching for help to change. Whatever your path, I believe that life can be different!

For the past 30 years I have worked as a mental health counselor to assist people who are struggling with depression and anxiety; those who have had their life shaken by a death, divorce or other life losses; those who feel stuck and want to get their life flowing again;those who struggle with obstacles to help attain their goals,those who deal with chronic health conditions;as well as those who are facing major life changes and need an objective,helpful listener.I have also worked with relationships that need understanding, healing and forgiveness.Change is always possible.

Are you struggling to make necessary changes during difficult times of your life? Are you a caregiver that is "running on empty" all the time? Are your health challenges making you feel like you are existing rather than living? Sometimes, these issues requires some guidance, introspection and support that an authentic, warm and professional therapy space can offer. As a licensed psychologist I would be honored to offer that space, one that feels safe to discuss what may be distressing you.

My holistic approach integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being. The overall goal is to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves on all these levels. For some, the goal of counseling may be to improve personal, familial, social, and/or community functioning. While for others, the aim is building, self-esteem, reducing anxiety or strengthening coping mechanisms. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to unpack emotional and mental distress while working on grounding techniques, challenging unhelpful automatic thoughts, and processing trauma.

You desire living life according to your values, goals, passion, and love, but for some reason you feel stuck in love/relationships/sex/career. Through a variety of coaching options, I can help you walk through the changes you want to make to rock your fierce life. Whether you're finally ready to commit to loving relationships but don't know where to start, or you need some coaching to work through ending a marriage, or moving on after loss... I've got you.

Family Business is in a league of its own. I help family businesses navigate change (or stagnation) by fostering clear decision-making, and helping clients separate family dynamics from business operations. As a former therapist, I noticed that when my family therapy clients had a family business, therapy would only get them so far... At some point, they had to address the nuts and bolts of operations: "I know I hate this position, but the business would fail if I stopped. But things have GOT to change." Sound familiar? Creating new relationship dynamics and habits means changing how you work together, at home AND the office.
