Family counseling addresses the dynamics of families as well as individual needs within a family context. It’s focus is to improve relationships among family members and can consist of a variety of group combinations including parents, children, siblings, grandparents, aunts & uncles, & caregivers.

Early childhood & youth counseling serves those between the ages of 2-12.

Counseling for this age often incorporates techniques that involve play, art, and hands-on sensory experiences based on the individual child’s age, needs, & interests.

A little about Kelsie:
"From a very young age, my parents probably would have told you that I would eventually end up doing something that required a listening ear and a compassionate heart. God’s calling for me to counsel, love, & support those in every walk of life has been evident in every season of my life. Through both my personal and professional experiences, I have a dynamic background in guiding others as they navigate the various chapters of their own journey.”
Kelsie obtained her Masters degree in Marriage & Family Counseling from Liberty University in 2017. She worked for several years as the guidance counselor at a private school assisting with grades K-12th before deciding to return home to focus on the growth of her family. Her and her husband Nate homeschool their three daughters ages 8, 4, and 1.
