Kelsey Thompson
MA, LMFT
I have a passion for working with those suffering with trauma, anxiety, relationship struggles, substance abuse, and those who are going through life transitions. I also love helping teenagers and young adults face their many challenges.
Whether you’re dealing with day-to-day stress, grieving a loss, struggling through relationship difficulties, anxiety or dealing with a trauma I will help provide support. I will help you find the tools that work best for you so you no longer suffer and can step into your power. Life transitions, relational stressors and worry can consume your life and become overwhelming and painful. I will help you find your purpose, build deeper connections, and help you beat unhealthy behaviors that are holding you back.
Trauma can be complex, and it often builds if it is left untreated. Don’t let your future be taken over because of your past. It’s time to process through the trauma, accept it for what it is and move forward to a brighter future. Imagine how amazing it will feel to return to yourself again, to feel grounded and deeply connected with others and with yourself!

Education
I earned my master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from Alliant International University. Additionally, I hold a bachelor’s degree in biology from California State University, East Bay, and an associate’s degree in human services and chemical dependency. I have additional training in various therapeutic treatment modalities, including brainspotting, ERP, CBT, and EFT.
Professional
I started my journey in the mental health field at a group home for girls who had experienced sex trafficking, discovering my passion for being part of people’s life journeys. This led me to pursue a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy. During my graduate program, I worked as a therapist at a transitional housing program for the chronically homeless, dealing with severe mental illness and substance use. I later spent several years at a local intensive outpatient treatment center, addressing substance abuse, mental health, and family system issues in both adults and adolescents. Eventually, I transitioned to private practice as a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT, 124586), working with individuals, families, and couples. In addition to seeing clients, I am also the Chief Operations Officer at The Davis Group.

Personal
I spent my early years in Roseville, California. In middle school and early high school, my family and I relocated to Texas for a few years but eventually returned to Granite Bay, where I graduated from high school. Having experienced a move during high school, I understand the challenges teens face in adjusting. After college in the Humboldt area and the Bay Area, I returned to Roseville, working and earning my master’s degree. Raised in Roseville, I’ve been fortunate to have access to beautiful places for adventures. On weekends, you’ll find me hiking with my husband and two young sons, gardening, enjoying live music, or hanging out with friends. I have a passion for travel, aiming for a couple of trips each year. Cooking is another love, and I’m always exploring new recipes. My goal is to lead a well-traveled life filled with cherished memories, laughter, and love.

If the person seeking treatment is a child or adolescent, please fill out the “child/adolescent” paperwork; otherwise please complete the “adult” paperwork. Lastly, only complete the “Release of Information” if requested once we begin meeting. I will provide you with the password.
