Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying the weight of your personal identity, family expectations, or the impacts of generational trauma. You may find yourself caught between who you are and who others expect you to be, leading to feelings of stress, self-doubt, or disconnection. Many of my clients seek a space where all parts of their identity are seen and affirmed, while also working through challenges like anxiety, depression, family of origin issues, or difficult life transitions. Together, we focus on healing, resilience, and building a stronger sense of self. I provide a supportive, collaborative space grounded in trauma-informed and culturally responsive care. Drawing from relational, strengths-based, and evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, I help clients explore challenges, build resilience, and create change that feels authentic to who they are. I know it takes courage to seek support, and it's important to find someone who truly understands and respects you. My goal is to provide a safe and compassionate environment where you can feel seen, valued, and empowered to move forward in ways that feel right for you. If you're ready to begin this process, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

I’m a social worker with nearly 20 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges with more clarity and confidence. I work especially well with young adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, neurodivergence, and the pressure to “figure it all out.” Therapy with me is real, practical, and judgment-free. It’s a space to slow down, feel understood, and build tools you can actually use in everyday life. You’re not broken — just human. And you don’t have to sort it out alone.

Kelsey Donohue is a therapist who helps you address issues such as anxiety, self-esteem, body image, and difficulties in relationships. She uses evidence-based techniques, such as CBT, psychodynamic, and narrative therapy, as well as supportive reflection to assist individuals in making the changes they want in their lives while providing the necessary support along the way.

I specialize in supporting students who find the balance of social life, academics, and transitioning into adulthood to be challenging. Many of the students I work with experience social anxiety, struggles with self-confidence, or have ADHD. I also help students navigate the complexities of learning to live independently and building a fulfilling, self-directed life.

College can be an amazing time full of new experiences, but let’s be real—it can also feel stressful and overwhelming. I love working with young adults who are figuring out the ups and downs of campus life. Whether you're dealing with roommate drama, trying to balance work and fun, or adjusting to being more independent, sometimes it helps to talk to someone who gets it and can help you work through the tough stuff. If this sounds like something you’d find helpful, feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect and support you through this exciting but challenging time.

We work best with students who feel deeply and think a lot. Many of the students we support are navigating major life changes, identity questions, relationship challenges, or the pressure to succeed while feeling like they are falling behind inside. If you have ever felt like you are carrying a lot beneath the surface or trying to make sense of big emotions and experiences, you are not alone. In therapy, we create a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and build the tools to move through life with more self-awareness and confidence.

I believe in hope, love, equality, equity, inclusion, and kindness. I also believe in science, accountability, and the impact that trauma has on our functioning. In my practice, I feel comfortable addressing any differences in gender, race, and ethnicity with my clients and the impact that these might have on the working relationship and overall treatment. Many of my clients come to me because they're starting to realize certain things they've experienced when they were younger, or even recently, are starting to have a negative impact on their lives, their ability be happy, and their ability to form new and healthy relationships. My practice focuses on working with those who are ready to address those experiences.

You may look like you have it together on the outside, but actually feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. I help individuals better understand themselves, discover ways to cope and create meaningful, lasting change. I work with adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns like people-pleasing and overthinking. I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients have trauma histories, caregiving roles, or chronic illness and are seeking deeper insight. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start. Many people come to therapy simply feeling stressed, on edge or misunderstood. Through therapy, you'll gain tools to manage overwhelming feelings, improve relationships and break patterns negatively impacting your life.
