Kevin Letsinger

Hi, I’m Kevin Letsinger, a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through trauma, transition, and growth. My background spans community mental health, medical settings, and federal service, and I currently provide therapy, in addition to training and mentoring healthcare professionals.

I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Tennessee and am currently pursuing my Doctor of Social Work (DSW). I specialize in trauma-informed care, and my work is deeply influenced by anti-oppressive frameworks and the social determinants of health.

In therapy, I support clients navigating anxiety, burnout, identity exploration, grief, complex trauma, and life transitions. I also offer affirming care for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and those working in high-stress professions, including healthcare and social services.

Therapy should challenge, not reinforce, oppression. I recognize that inequities in social work, including racial bias in licensing, are connected to the same colonial histories shaping the land we occupy. I live and work on Piscataway and Doeg land with humility and deep respect for their ongoing presence and sovereignty.

I believe therapy should be a safe, collaborative space where your experiences are honored and your voice leads the process. My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and respect—centered on building trust and creating room for honest reflection and growth.

I integrate evidence-based modalities such as:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Mindfulness-Based CBT
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Motivational Interviewing
• Interpersonal Psychotherapy

My work is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and informed by real-world complexity. I also consider how systems of power, identity, and past experiences shape your present, and we’ll explore those dynamics together, and at your pace.

I support clients with a wide range of needs, and I particularly focus on trauma recovery, professional burnout, emotional regulation, and identity work.

My goal is to help you better understand yourself, navigate life with greater confidence, and develop tools that support lasting change.

In our work, you can expect:

• A welcoming, affirming, and nonjudgmental space
• Clear, compassionate feedback
• Practical tools for managing emotions, relationships, and stress
• A collaborative approach that adapts to your needs and goals
• A focus on sustainable progress—not perfection

Ultimately, I’m here to support your growth, whether that means working through a specific challenge, rebuilding after trauma, or simply making space to reconnect with yourself.
