My vision is to utilize curiosity and genuine human connection alongside evidenced-based mental health practices, in order to equip you to cultivate an adventurous life, embrace the power of your unique story, and employ your strengths so that you may both prosper and continue your healing journey beyond the counseling office, long after our time together.
where healing occurs outside of the office
welcome to hemlock
Hemlock Counseling Services is a safe, empowering space where distressed adults can heal their mental health, learn to trust their body & mind, and express & regulate their emotions, so that they can develop into the healthiest, most authentic versions of themselves- while also enjoying nature. I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow when given the right support, and that there is no cookie-cutter model for meeting our unique therapeutic needs. My job is to equip you to continue your healing independently, outside of the therapy office.
meet kelsee
Most recognized by my gentle honesty, I’m an authentic human who helps folks find comfort and implement changes, while making meaning of this experience called life.
My therapeutic approach is a collaborative, empowering, humanistic blending of evidence-based, person-centered practices such as CBT, Mindfulness, Inner-Child / Parts Work, with Outdoor Recreation.
If you wrestle with anxiety, existential worries, or any kind of heaviness, and are ready to put in the work to feel better, you’ve come to the right place.

we might be a good fit if...
01
You’re no stranger to self-help resources. It feels like you’ve tried everything! From books to podcasts, instagram psychologists, meditation apps, and #TherapyTok. You’ve seen some improvements, but aren’t quite where you wanna be yet.
06
This is your first time considering therapy OR you’re ready to give it a second chance - either way, you may be a little apprehensive and excited at the same time.
02
You’re down to be challenged and consider new ways of thinking and behaving.
07
You’re not one to sit passively on the couch and let therapy happen to you. You’re ready to put in the effort beyond our 60-minutes together to make some serious mental health gains outside of the office.
03
You’re curious about why you are the way that you are and are in search of deeper insight.
08
Sitting still and serious for a long time is challenging for you. You tend to learn and process in a more laid-back environment with freedom to fidget. You don’t like being put in a box and might even identify as an enneagram 4.
04
You’re drawn to people who keep it real, can laugh at themselves, are endlessly curious, and who are interested in lifelong self-expansion.
09
You love the outdoors and moving your body, and holistic health is a value of yours.
05
You’re able and willing to make the financial investment and commit to showing up for the therapeutic process- because you believe your mental health is worth it.
10
Deep down, you know you’re capable of more. You just need a nudge in the right direction, and the right kind of cheerleader.
if this sounds like you, i bet we'd make a great match!
Journaling. Most either love it or hate it.
My thought? We need to break a few rules and get over the idea of the "right" way to journal in order to really reap the benefits.
So, I created this PDF and podcast combo, that gives you my top anti-rules for journaling as well as my favorite journaling prompts.
