About Kelsey

Hello, my name is Kelsey Milam! I am originally from a small town outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. I am known for my southern accent and always being myself. I enjoy being outdoors just as much as I love watching Netflix while cuddling my cat.

I have always had a calling for helping others, and I am so grateful to have found the career path of clinical social work. I was inspired to become a therapist by meeting with one myself, after my father passed away when I was a young girl. I know first-hand how scary it can be to share your story, but trust me having an un-biased, non-judgmental, listening ear can go a long way.

My specialties include working with gender diverse folks, trauma, and parenting for individuals aged 18+, couples, and families. My previous work experience has ranged from case management with high-risk pregnant women, community health education, research on gender-affirming healthcare, and most recently in private practice.

Specialties

Anxiety & Depression

We aim to de-stigmatize mental illness. All of us has experienced some level of anxiety or depression. With the pandemic, this level increased for most people. We can provide coping and self-regulation skills that everyone can benefit from.

LGBTQIA+

We provide a safe space to provide non-judgmental support. Kelsey has experience with folks across the sexuality and gender spectrum. She feels comfortable discussing the transition process and writing letters for gender affirming surgeries.

Stress & Trauma

Depression, anxiety, & self-harm are some of the many ways that trauma can manifest. Kelsey is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) where she uses a mixture of EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Exposure Therapy to heal from past distressing events.
