From Successful Group Practice Owner to Mother and Author with Kelsey
Kelsey, MSW, LCSW, knew she wanted to be a counselor from the time she was small. She has a passion for helping people, especially kids, and a special gift for helping others with anxiety and anger management. She wrestled with her desire to go into private practice after growing up watching her mom enjoy the flexibility of private practice but fight with insurance to get paid.
In 2017, Kelsey started her practice while still employed in her nonprofit job where she had an unmanageable caseload and schedule. After joining Bootcamp and an accountability program, she was able to go to part-time in 3 months and gradually transitioned to a full private practice over that first year. A short year later, she opened her group practice: Compassionate Counseling in St. Louis.
