Kate van Ingen KelsenMarriage & Family Therapist, MS, MA, LMFT

About

I have over 25 years of experience working with couples, families, and individuals. My work with couples enhances communication when it has been hindered by trauma, illness, infidelity, or other stressors. Couples work helps members listen differently, understand, and negotiate respectfully. I help parents understand children's behavior through a social emotional developmental lens. Individual work within the context of relationships explores self care. Our lives are affected by the systems in which we live and work. I integrate a mind-body perspective into my work. Our racing minds let us know when we are feeling stress. Our bodies exhibit stress as tension, pain, or illness. I teach mindfulness and somatic wellness skills that help regulate and calm the nervous system. A calm mind & body aids exploration, growth, and communication.
