Kelsey Engman

I try to meet my clients where they are, and work to notice patterns that may not be helpful to them. I try my best to offer a non-judgmental space where my clients can open up about anything, so they can feel comfortable in the vulnerability of self discovery. I believe we are partners in the process, and that together we can make powerful change that leads to better outcomes. If you think we might be a good fit, I would love to hear from you and what you're looking to get out of therapy.

My approach draws on several evidence-based methods, and I choose what fits you best. For anxiety, persistent negative patterns, or low mood, I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to examine thoughts and build new habits. For emotional regulation or intense distress, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) gives us practical, day-to-day tools. I draw on Psychodynamic and Relational work to understand how your history and relationships shape today. For clients navigating relationship conflict, I use Gottman Method principles. I am curious and collaborative, because how you feel in the session matters as much as any technique.

Our first session is a chance for you to share what has been weighing on you and what you

are hoping to change, at whatever pace feels right. I will ask some questions to understand

your situation more fully, but mostly I want to listen. Most clients leave that first hour

feeling a little lighter and clearer about what the path ahead could look like.
