Getting to know Kelsey Chang-Kim

Welcome! I'm Kelsey Chang-Kim, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from Tulane University, and I am so happy you're here. With over 5 years of experience in private practice, my passion for working in the mental health field has motivated me to be a constantly growing clinician well-equipped to support others. My approach I believe in a collaborative, strengths-based, psychodynamic approach that starts with searching for the root of what you are struggling with. Once we understand ourselves and our contexts better, we are more equipped to find resolutions or relief in the here and now. My focus I've worked with many diverse populations over the years and particularly enjoy working with teens and young adults as they discover their truest selves and navigate the complexities of life. Whether it is anxiety, depression, or overcoming a painful past, you are not alone and there IS a light at the end of the tunnel. My communication style My first and foremost priority is to help you feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. I exude warmth, open-mindedness, non-judgment, and care from a genuine place. My journey to mental healthcare Therapy has been an integral part of my life from adolescence to adulthood, and I've experienced its impact and value firsthand! I cannot say I know exactly what you're going through, but I can truly empathize with the desperation we often feel when we've tried everything else in our power to pull ourselves out, to seemingly no avail. I've always been a helper and a feeler. What drove years of studying, training, and working in the mental health field was my desire to be well-equipped to support others. On a larger scale, I am passionate about advocating for the mental health of those who are marginalized, overlooked, or unable to speak for themselves. This drives much of my volunteer work and desire for continuous growth and knowledge in this field!
