Kels Crockett
Counseling Intern | Adolescents, Young Adults & Adults
Anxiety • Trauma • Body Acceptance • LGBTQIA+ • OCD • Polyamory/ENM
I bring a warm, person-centered approach to therapy, creating space for clients to feel safe, seen, and supported while exploring the experiences and patterns that may be affecting their well-being.
I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, body image and body acceptance concerns, OCD, parenting challenges, identity, and relationships. My approach is grounded in curiosity and compassion, with an emphasis on helping you reconnect with yourself in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.
You Might Be a Good Fit If...
Anxiety or stress is taking up too much space in everyday life
Trauma or difficult past experiences continue to affect how you feel or respond
You’re struggling with body image, body acceptance, or your relationship with yourself
OCD or intrusive thoughts are interfering with daily life
You’re looking for LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy
You’re navigating polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, or relationship diversity
Religious experiences have contributed to stress, shame, or trauma
Parenting or family responsibilities are becoming overwhelming
You want therapy that feels collaborative, affirming, and centered around your individual needs
My Approach
My work may incorporate:
Person-Centered Therapy
Internal Family Systems (IFS)-Informed Work
Somatic Awareness
Trauma-Informed Care
HAES-Aligned Practices
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care
Polyamory/ENM-Affirming Support
As a counseling intern, my clinical work is completed within the appropriate supervision structure while I pursue my M.Ed. at Lindsey Wilson University.
You don’t need to fit yourself into a particular version of what therapy is supposed to look like. My goal is to understand who you are, what you’re experiencing, and what feels most important to you.
My work is influenced by person-centered therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic awareness, and HAES-aligned practices. Together, we may explore the different parts of yourself, notice how experiences show up emotionally and physically, and develop a more compassionate understanding of the patterns that have helped you cope.
I approach therapy with curiosity rather than judgment. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, relationships, body acceptance, or simply trying to understand yourself more deeply, we can work toward change that feels authentic to you.
How I Can Help
Trauma & Religious Trauma
Past experiences can continue shaping how you see yourself, relate to others, and respond to stress long after the immediate experience has passed.
I provide trauma-informed support that allows us to explore those experiences at a pace that feels manageable. This may also include processing religious trauma or examining how past belief systems, communities, or experiences have influenced your sense of identity and well-being.
Body Acceptance & Self-Relationship
Body image and self-worth can be influenced by messages from family, culture, healthcare, social media, and many other parts of life. My approach is informed by HAES-aligned principles and focuses on building a more compassionate and respectful relationship with yourself rather than defining health or worth by appearance.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy
I provide an affirming space to explore identity, relationships, belonging, self-acceptance, and the experiences that may come with navigating the world as an LGBTQIA+ person.
Our work can focus on both the challenges you’re facing and the strengths, values, relationships, and communities that support who you are.
OCD & Intrusive Thoughts
OCD and intrusive thoughts can create significant distress, especially when thoughts begin to feel confusing, frightening, or difficult to disengage from. Therapy can provide space to better understand these experiences and strengthen healthier ways of responding to them.
