Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Kelsey Aichinger, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist Associate. I help adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, life changes, or addictions.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I tailor my approach specific to each specific client and their need. There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy, as each person and their particular struggles are unique. You can expect to be challenged, heard, and validated during a session with me. I use components from multiple modalities, including solutions-focused, dialectical behavioral therapy and, cognitive behavioral therapy.

What you can expect from our first session

I consider myself to be open-minded and compassionate but also direct and challenging. I create a safe place for people to process their emotions and life dilemmas. Together, we construct goals to help improve your overall quality of life and ensure you progress towards an end goal.


Kelsey's style is

Challenging
Energetic
Open-minded
