Kaelee Salmans

Hi there! I’m Kaelee Salmans, an independently licensed mental health practitioner. I specialize in creating a grounded, specialized space for individuals navigating complex trauma, major mental illness, and personality disorders. I believe healing begins with feeling safe and seen; especially for those who have felt misunderstood by traditional systems.

My diverse background is rooted in high-intensity environments, including community mental health and secure mental-health units. This experience gives me a deep, well-rounded perspective on the lasting effects of systemic and personal trauma. I am not afraid of the ‘heavy stuff’, and I am here to provide the stability you need to move forward.

In my practice, I integrate DBT for mood stabilization and regulation and EMDR for long-term trauma processing. By blending these with Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and other evidenced-based modalities, I offer a structured yet compassionate path tailored to your unique history.

My hope is that you will leave my sessions with a deeper sense of self-awareness, emotional regulation, and personal agency. I will help you gain insight into your thoughts and behaviors, fostering critical thinking and resilience. Through compassionate challenges, you will learn to embrace growth, accept imperfection, and take responsibility for your actions. My approach empowers you to set boundaries, improve communication, and build confidence in your ability to make meaningful changes, leaving you with a renewed sense of hope and possibility for your future.
