Adele C. Kelso

People have an inherent need to be understood and tell their story in order to live the life they imagine. My job as therapist is to listen, and learn from you and guide you toward better self-care, and to make the changes necessary to look inside yourself to see what might be holding you back from living a full happy life. As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe often times the things which keep us from moving forward are in our environment, such as toxic relationships, poverty, lack of education, drugs and alcohol, and past traumas. Together we can look as your specific challenges and where you want to go from here. I offer DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) both of which look at the ways in which we look at the world, and our emotions, and how both our thoughts and emotions impact our behaviors such as with anxiety, depression, and in relationships. I believe in respect and dignity for all people, and want your therapy experience to be an opportunity for you to learn and grow, and to feel good about the unique person you are in this world. We all have gifts – discovering your gifts, those things which make you special is part of self-discovery which I value in every person.
