Licensed Associate Marriage & Family Therapist

Kelsie Ballentine, MS LAMFT

SHE / HER

My goal is to meet you where you are and work together to foster growth, healing, and change. Your life experiences and relationships have profoundly shaped you, and I want to honor your unique expertise in your own life.  Whether you are seeking therapy because of life change, mental health concerns, or just wanting help and more self-awareness, I’m happy to walk alongside you.

As a biracial therapist who identifies as white and Chinese, I strive to create a collaborative space where you can bring all aspects of your identity. I work from an attachment-based, systemic perspective, which means I explore the contexts and identities that have influenced you. I am also trained in Brainspotting for trauma, Emotionally Focused Therapy to explore relational dynamics, and am pursuing specialization in Perinatal Mental Health.

I particularly enjoy working with individuals and couples navigating pregnancy/parenthood, life transitions, and family of origin work.


 My Clients

Kelsie works with individuals, couples and families aged 14+. Kelsie enjoys working with client surrounding depression, anxiety, family of origin work, life transitions, and relational concerns.
