Hi there! My name is Kelsi, the Clinical Director at The Counseling Corner and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and Virginia. I have expertise in working with members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, untangling impacts of trauma, and neurodivergent young adults, though many clients of diverse backgrounds and experiences tend to respond well to my authenticity and warmth. Clients seeking my support might be struggling with perfectionism, anxiety, burn out, boundary-setting, self-doubt, and identity. Common goals might include reducing anxiety, applying their awareness of self to healing, and approaching life and relationships with wellness and empowerment. My goal is to act as a partner in navigating the waves of life. I'm super excited to learn more about you! Building on sensory awareness, mindfulness, trauma work, and creativity, we'll dig for the root of your distress. Tools such as thought challenging, processing trauma, reducing nervous system burnout, and empowerment to lean into your long-term goals may be cornerstones of our work together. I cultivate an environment of authenticity, warmth, and creativity. Working with pre-teens to adults, I recognize that we have all experienced adversity to some degree in our lives and each degree is equally valid. While growth is often a layered and open-ended journey, your counseling relationship and an understanding of relational dynamics will be cornerstones for your adventure. Give us a call to discuss how we can help!

Hello! I’m Jeeson (she/her), a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 10+ years experience in critical care, triage, and psychiatry. While every part of my nursing career has been important, psychiatry is where I truly found my passion. Helping teens and adults through their mental health journeys is not just my job—it’s what drives me every day. My approach is whole-person care. I believe in treating you, not just your symptoms. Because the mind and body are connected, I focus on finding balance through a mix of medication, therapy, and lifestyle support. Whether you want to sleep better, feel less anxious, manage your mood, or handle life’s changes, my goal is to help you make positive, lasting changes. I know that trust and connection are key to good care. My priority is to support you and work together as a team. I want to create a safe, welcoming place where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.

Hello! I’m Traci (she/her), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia. I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals and families since 2011, and I’m deeply passionate about helping people create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. My areas of specialization include anxiety disorders, maternal mental health, postpartum depression and other perinatal challenges, perfectionism, codependency, burnout, body image concerns, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. I also work with parents to reflect on their own upbringing, helping them develop healthier approaches to parenting while improving their relationship with themselves. In my work, I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each person’s unique needs, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), and trauma-informed practices. I also draw on feminist and systems frameworks, along with somatic interventions and mindfulness-based strategies, when appropriate. As an advocate for personal autonomy and social justice, I support and affirm all faiths and spiritualities and am committed to being an ally to marginalized communities. I believe in the inherent worth of every individual and that there is no "wrong" way to have a body. I strive to be anti-racist through ongoing learning and unlearning, and I firmly believe in the healing power of community.

Languages: English

Hi, I am Taylor (she/her) I am a firm believer that therapy can benefit anyone. We often come to counseling amid great pain, change, or trauma when the work to be done is clear. Still, there is powerful, affirming work to be done in every phase of life. Whether you’re struggling with grief, transition, or feeling a little directionless, there is something to be gained from counseling. I place great value on each person’s lived experiences and trust that you are the expert on you. I work to help you rely on that expertise in combination with techniques and approaches from therapy. I specialize in supporting emerging adults and adults navigating daily life, transitions, and crises. I offer collaborative healing for those experiencing mental illness, phase of life, and identity difficulties. I am a multiculturally-competent, LGBTQIA2S+ affirming counselor with a passion for working with others whose life experiences differ from mine. As a mom myself, I also enjoy supporting individuals coping with perinatal and postpartum difficulties. My ultimate passion is making therapy as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. I utilize teletherapy in hopes that knocking down geographical obstacles might encourage more people to find time for themselves via therapy.

Languages: English, Spanish

Hola! I’m Michelle, a bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am passionate about helping others to improve the quality of their life with warmth and understanding. I am skilled at working with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling anxious, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. If this sounds familiar, know that you don’t have to go through it alone. I can help you to develop coping skills to manage anxiety, parenting stress, major life changes, workplace stressors/burnout and emotional overwhelm. Whether you’re navigating family challenges, feeling stretched too thin, or struggling with self-doubt, therapy can help you find clarity, relief, and renewed confidence. My style is warm, collaborative, and focused on empowering you with practical, helpful tools. In our work together, you’ll learn how to manage anxious thoughts, establish and maintain healthy boundaries, regulate overwhelming emotions, and develop effective ways of responding to stress and relationship challenges. Therapy is not about “fixing” you — it’s about helping you understand yourself and build skills that make daily life feel more manageable. Through integration of my training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), you will learn evidenced-based tools to help you better understand your thoughts and emotions, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change in your life. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to begin! I am looking forward to getting to know you and walking alongside you with care and compassion.

Every person comes with a unique story, strengths, and challenges. I work collaboratively with you to clarify meaningful goals, whether you are managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting stress, or navigating life transitions. My approach blends empathic listening, practical strategies, and a touch of humor to make growth feel grounded and attainable. For individuals who are driven, responsible, and often the ones others depend on, therapy can feel unfamiliar. You may be used to holding everything together, solving problems quickly, and pushing through discomfort. Slowing down or allowing yourself to be vulnerable may not come naturally. In our work, we approach this thoughtfully and with structure, helping you manage pressure, quiet self-criticism, set sustainable boundaries, and build resilience without losing the ambition and standards that matter to you. For parents, I understand how heavy the role can feel. Whether you are navigating behavioral challenges, ADHD, emotional regulation concerns, or the constant mental load of caregiving, we focus on practical tools you can use immediately at home. At the same time, we make space for your own stress, frustration, and self-doubt, because caring for yourself is directly connected to caring for your family. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop realistic strategies you can apply in daily life. I also draw from a person-centered foundation, creating a supportive space where you feel understood while we move forward with clarity and intention. Making the choice to begin this process reflects intention, self-awareness, and courage. You do not have to navigate challenges alone. With the right support, growth becomes not only possible, but sustainable.
