Kelsey Minehart, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kelsey!

Welcome, I am really glad you are here. I know it can be nerve-wracking to start therapy, but we will take it one step at a time, together. I specialize in working with individuals impacted by high stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma.

My focus

Using CBT, I help clients build skills such as cognitive reframing, emotional regulation, and healthy coping strategies. Through a trauma-informed lens, I honor each person’s life experiences, prioritize safety and choice, and pace our work in ways that feel manageable and respectful.

My approach

I am a licensed therapist who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care to help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is grounded in the belief that healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and empowered.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I wanted to help others struggling with life's challenges. Through my own experiences and trauma history, I realized people can heal and improve with the assistance and guidance through the healing process.

My goals for you

My goal is to create a compassionate, supportive environment where clients can explore their stories, strengthen resilience, and move toward a life aligned with their values. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and am committed to fostering a therapeutic space rooted in empathy, collaboration, and empowerment.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. It’s normal to feel nervous—therapy is a process we’ll build together over time. We’ll move at your pace, one step at a time, and I’ll be here to guide you throughout.
