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.

In 2017, Kelsey started her practice while still employed in her nonprofit job where she had an unmanageable caseload and schedule.

A short year later, she opened her group practice: Compassionate Counseling in St. Louis.
