About Kelsey

Kelsey Mathison is a Professional Art Psychotherapist, dedicated to a gentle and adaptive approach, allowing clients to explore emotions and thoughts through art at their own pace. At the core of her practice is the belief that art therapy provides a unique opportunity for expression and healing, particularly suited to those who find traditional talk therapy limiting. In her sessions, clients can expect a non-judgmental space, starting with simple tools like a pen and paper, and progressing only as they feel comfortable. Kelsey is particularly passionate about using art to unlock emotional expression and discover new perspectives, encouraging even the smallest steps. Kelsey welcomes anyone curious about the transformative power of art therapy to join her and discover new ways to express and understand feelings that words alone can't capture.
