Kelsey Lockard

Kelsey Lockard, MA, LMHC, is a dedicated counselor who understands that being human can often feel overwhelming. Clients may find themselves feeling lost, stuck, or isolated, having developed coping mechanisms that, while effective, may hinder their ability to connect with themselves compassionately. Through her work, Kelsey aims to shine a light on these unhelpful patterns, guiding individuals to reconnect with their wholeness and innate wisdom. Her therapeutic approach is integrative and grounded in evidence-based practices, with a strong influence from Attachment Theory viewed through an anti-oppression lens. Kelsey supports clients in unraveling the detrimental messages they may have internalized from childhood and past traumas. As a counselor, Kelsey listens attentively to her clients’ experiences, providing insightful feedback and helping them identify patterns and beliefs that may be obstructing their path to healing. Her ultimate goal is to reduce feelings of shame and foster self-compassion, creating a safe and nurturing environment for growth. With a rich foundation in various modalities—including Mindfulness-Based approaches, Trauma-Focused therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy—Kelsey invites those seeking transformation to explore the journey of healing alongside her.
