Transgender Therapists in Johnson City, TN

Life can be incredibly difficult, even in the best of times, due to everyday challenges or simply existing as your authentic self. For some, this may look like a relationship with multiple partners, being aromantic or asexual, having a relationship with yourself, learning more about yourself and how you engage in sexuality via integrating kink, or simply existing in life in a marginalized body - be it race, gender, sexuality, weight, ability status, or any number of visible and invisible characteristics for which broader society struggles to make space.

I provide individual therapy, to adolescents and adults, as well as couples and family therapy. I believe that the focus of therapy is the achievement of insight and both intra- and inter-personal growth. This means different things to different people and families, so I actively involve you in the direction of your therapy and will check in often to make sure that your needs are being met. I trained as a generalist and pull from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including interpersonal process, insight-oriented, and cognitive-behavioral.

Compassion, trust and balance are at the heart of the work that I do. I approach challenges with curiosity and collaboration.

I work with clients to develop strengths and achieve life goals.

So, you’ve stepped back, looked at your relationships, and realized, “This is not even close to what I want!” UGH! What a moment. A part of you might even chime in to (not so helpfully) remind you that you should just be happy with what you have, especially since it could totally be worse. Maybe that part even suggests this is somehow as good as it gets for you. (Side note, this is your critical voice, and it tends to share, shall we call it “fake news.”) But you’re here because a part of you, even if it’s small and hesitant, wants something more. It feels scary to hope, but you’re here to try.

At CSN Counseling, Your better tomorrows can start today.

Struggling with marriage or partnership conflict, sexual trauma/abuse/addiction, or exploring sexuality?

At The Journey Center for Healing Arts, we are passionate about helping people move beyond their past and into a full, authentic life. Trauma affects us all at some level - surviving physical pain, emotional pain, or spiritual pain - and it can keep us from living the life we want. We want to see you thrive through your healing process instead of continuing to struggle with worry, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, grief, and unhealthy relationships.

Kelsey works with individuals, adolescents, and adults. She believes that we live in stories. It is through relationships, conversations, and stories that we create meaning in life. By examining the stories we tell ourselves, re-authoring them, and externalizing problems, then we can construct new and liberating stories. In counseling, Kelsey uses narrative therapy to engage with clients in the stories of their lives. She focuses on building an atmosphere of curiosity, respect, and transparency. She believes individuals matter, bearing witness to stories matters, and that individuals have strengths and the power to change.

Does your child complain of stomach aches? Say they don't want to go to school? Do they struggle to sleep? Are they having issues with their siblings or other people? Is there a history of trauma? Do you feel at an impasse? Hope is not lost! I work with children and their parents on communicating and solving their struggles together. All children are welcome. I specialize in children, preteens, and teenagers. Anxiety, depression, and trauma can all show up as anger, fear, lethargy, and lack of sleep. The sooner it is addressed the sooner your child can feel better and more themselves.

I am a counselor that values the depth of human relationships. I use a variety of therapeutic interventions that can be summarized as somatic and attachment focused, relational, and mindful. All of these interventions are built off of the idea of present moment awareness. This means that I use each moment as potential for awareness into your inner experience. I spend time assisting each client in expanding their window of tolerance for discomfort as well as developing tools and techniques for structural changes. I am experienced working with general mental health concerns as well as trauma, PTSD, and associated concerns.

I have a passion for helping individuals recover from difficult life struggles in order to overcome negative thought patterns and reach their full potential.

I will assist in developing constructive coping skills and awareness of oneself with utilization of CBT-based therapy alongside existential practices which are uniquely tailored to you.
