Professional statement

Kelsey Hendon, LCSW, is a compassionate and dedicated therapist with a passion for guiding individuals on their journey towards healing and personal growth. Originally from Reno, Nevada, Kelsey holds a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from the University of Nevada, Reno, and a Master's degree in Social Work from Fordham University in New York. With seven years of experience in Behavioral Health, including a previous role as a Director at Reno Behavioral Healthcare Hospital, Kelsey specializes in addressing a range of mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, addiction, suicidality, mood disorders, psychosis, and personality disorders.

Kelsey's therapeutic approach focuses on rebuilding relationships with thoughts and emotions, emphasizing that no feelings are inherently bad. She is trauma-informed and provides a safe space for clients to explore their emotions without judgment. Kelsey supports meditative practices and encourages reflection as tools for self-awareness and healing. She believes in embracing what can be controlled while releasing what cannot, guiding individuals towards self-discovery and growth. Utilizing evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, and ACT, Kelsey collaborates with clients to identify their goals and work towards achieving them, delving deep into the "whys" that shape their paths and lead them to their present selves.
