Kelsi Amerine (She/Her), MSSW, LISW

My clients describe me as:

Safe, authentic, warm, open, empowering, and holistic.

Something to know about my approach is:

I implement a trauma informed and integrative approach. I establish the foundation for my therapeutic process on psychoeducation and the mind-body connection. I apply concepts and skills from MBCT, IFS, DBT, Systems, Somatic, and Attachment theory.

Together, we will:

Hold space for you to foster your own healing. You are capable of vulnerability, getting your needs met, and sustainable change. You will learn how to de-center from overwhelming thoughts, emotions, and sensations to be more present and in control.

I specialize in working with people who:

have experienced developmental trauma, living with mood disorders, college students, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I value the importance of intersectional identities and acknowledge the impact that systemic oppression has on our well-being.

I became a therapist because:

I wanted to be the person who would have made "Little Me" feel safe and unconditionally supported and provide this to others as a career.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

My unconventional and historic office space as well as practicing in the heart of rural Appalachia Ohio, where my own cultural roots live.

More about me and my practice:

During my time off I prioritize my own wellness and self-care. I love cozy coffee shops and spending time traveling, gardening, and tending to my house plants. Interacting with the natural world is integral to my professional and personal life.
