Mx. Kelsey Cox
(She/Her/Hers)
Kelsey is a compassionate counsellor dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey toward healing and self-discovery.
She believes that our feelings are always giving us information, but sometimes it is hard to listen to them and know what to do with that information. In our fast-paced world, it is easy to ignore those emotions and tensions we feel in our bodies. Ignoring those feelings, however, can hold us back from living the lives we want. Using both a trauma-informed and nature-informed lens, Kelsey can help you connect to and unpack those feelings, to help you live more consciously.
Understanding the profound impact of personal experiences and worldviews, Kelsey collaborates with clients to explore their unique identities. Through a collaborative process, she delves into how past experiences have shaped individuals and works towards defining what they envision for their lives.
Kelsey will meet clients where they are at and provide warm and non-judgemental support. She believes the most important part of counseling is the therapeutic relationship, and that you feel safe and comfortable.
Kelsey uses emotionally focused individual therapy and Adlerian psychology as well as elements of cognitive-behavioural therapy, somatic processing, and solution-focused brief therapy to help facilitate clients’ deep healing and provide clients with concrete tools for meaningful change. Kelsey draws primarily from emotionally focused therapy because she believes many people hold onto emotions and trauma from childhood and that processing and expressing these emotions can help to move on and live more consciously.
Kelsey offers a free 20-minute phone or video consultation, to ensure she is a good fit to support you on your journey.
Kelsey works with the following: Attachment Styles, Intimacy and Dating, Trauma (including all kinds of abuse and religious trauma), Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Self-Esteem, Codependency, Coping Skills, Divorce, Family Conflict, Life Transition, Peer Relationships, School Issues, Women’s Issues, Self Harm, Workplace/Employment Issues, Sleep Issues, and Gender Identity
