Kelsee Costanza

“My hope is to support clients toward experiencing emotion regulation, attunement with their bodies, self-compassion, self-understanding, authentic and healthy relationships, and a meaningful life.”

We are all doing the best we can with the internal and external resources available to us. These resources are shaped - in both enriching and harmful ways - by our biology, relationships, environments, and the systems we exist within. I view therapy as a space where an authentic, secure relationship between therapist and client forms the foundation for delving deeply into your experiences and inner world. 

I have clinical experience working with clients through anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidality, emotion dysregulation, abuse, trauma, grief/loss, self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My hope is to support clients toward experiencing emotion regulation, attunement with their bodies, self-compassion, self-understanding, authentic and healthy relationships, and a meaningful life.

I have multiple years of experience working with clients through their spiritual and religious concerns. Through my own lived experience in religious systems I have  recognized that spirituality can be a source of hope and meaning, and that it can be a source of deep pain. I specialize working with clients who have endured oppressive belief systems and spiritual abuse/religious trauma. 

I am a mom of one and understand both how necessary and difficult it is for parents to find space for themselves. I value maintaining my sense of self outside of parenthood and live this out by prioritizing my wellbeing. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, tending to my houseplants/garden, taking long walks, attending theatre and comedy shows, and connecting with family and friends.
