Warm & Supportive Approach

Kensley is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) with a passion for providing quality service to individuals in need of support. Through a warm, supportive, and highly collaborative approach, Kensley works closely alongside clients to carefully explore and thoughtfully identify patterns or obstacles that may be holding them back from living their fullest lives. She is deeply dedicated to helping clients build the essential skills, confidence, and resilience needed to truly thrive, grow, and navigate life’s complexities in their everyday experiences. 

Trauma and EMDR Therapy

Kensley is trained in EMDR therapy. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.  It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal.  EMDR therapy shows that the mind can, in fact, heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. If the system is blocked or imbalanced by the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound may not heal in a healthy way and can cause intense suffering.  Once the wound is treated appropriately, healing resumes. 

Passionate to help

Kensley has been working in the mental health field for over 6 years with valuable and diverse experience. Upon completing her bachelor’s degree, she began working for an outpatient mental health clinic providing behavioral assistance to children and their families. She continued to work in this position while completing her master’s degree in Social Work.  She has experience working with individuals in an outpatient setting, specifically helping family members navigate through difficult behaviors and family dynamics. Kensley’s passion is working with adults and children struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment issues, grief, and family dysfunction. Her approach is both inviting and nurturing, providing a safe space for clients to heal and move forward with the lives they want to live. She provides openness and a non-judgmental atmosphere for clients to feel accepted where they are, and encouraged in their journey to where they want to be. Establishing a solid, trusting relationship with clients is a fundamental and deeply valued aspect of Kensley’s compassionate and client-centered work.
