Kelsey Sharpless
MSW, RSW
Social Worker
Psychotherapist
Kelsey has been Registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers since 2016. She has been working in the social services for over 10 years and in Psychotherapy since 2016. Kelsey obtained her Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from Lakehead Univeristy and her Master of Social Work from Dalhousie University.
Approach and Philosophy
Kelsey specializes in trauma therapy, including family of origin issues (boundary setting, understanding impact of parental attachment) and has much experience working with children and teens.
First and foremost, Kelsey's approach to therapy is holistic, she encourages you to look at all areas of your life when talking about the difficulty you bring to the session. What got you here? Are there patterns in your life that are no longer serving you? Let's work on processing hard things and making small changes to improve your life.
Therapy is an important investment in yourself and Kelsey takes her role as the facilitator of your therapy very seriously.
"I am entrusted with people's most important stories and I hold space for suffering and difficult emotions. I am motivated to do this work by the amazing people I get to meet and seeing people's self-investments pay off. I am constantly amazed by what humans are capable of when given the space to feel heard and understood" - Kelsey Sharpless.
