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.
