Kelsey Schulman, MSW, LICSW

ABOUT

Hello, I’m Kelsey Schulman (they/them).  I received my Masters in Social Work from The University of Washington in 2018 specializing in mental health and have worked in a variety of community mental health and non-profit settings since 2014. My roles have included psychotherapist, group healing facilitator, and advocate working with survivors of trauma of all identities from emerging adults up to older adults. I’m passionate about liberation for all people, and I believe therapy is a place to work towards becoming more free.

I use an eclectic approach that integrates modalities such as DBT, ACT, Somatics, Mindfulness and EMDR to address the various challenges that clients face throughout their lifespan. I enjoy bringing a sense playfulness and using humor (when appropriate) in my work as we plant seeds of change and cultivate growth as a team. I am most passionate about working with the LGBTQIA community, specifically with queer and trans clients.

I believe that therapy is a co-created space where healing takes place. I use a clinical approach that is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and client-centered to support you in building the life you wish to live. I approach each client with warmth and positive regard as we work together to challenge patterns that are no longer serving you and to deepen your well of joy.

Through an anti-oppressive framework I offer a space to explore life’s up’s and downs by building on each person’s inherent resilience’s and resources to create lasting change. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, major life transitions, ADHD, Autism, PTSD, and intergenerational trauma and trauma from living in racialized capitalism and harm from systems of oppression. I also enjoy working with polyamorous clients. I am experienced in working with people from a diverse religious, ethnic, racial, socioeconomic backgrounds and clients from all sexual orientations and gender identities.

When not working as a therapist, I enjoy tide pooling, camping, activism, dancing, and sharing food with loved ones.

I look forward to hearing from you. Supporting people to heal is truly an honor and a joy!
