VoyageLA: Local Stories

November 2023

Hi Kelsey, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Well, I have always been creative and curious, as well as a deeply empathetic person. My interest in psychology started to emerge as a teenager, but it never dawned on me that it was something I could pursue. Where and when I grew up, therapy wasn’t openly talked about or considered.

After pushing those interests aside to study fashion in college, and then working for ten years in various corporate design positions, I couldn’t deny the nagging feeling that I was meant to take a different path in my life. And it wasn’t until I finally began working with a therapist myself that I put all of the pieces together. It dawned on me how much I loved the therapeutic process. Perhaps the biggest surprise was how creative therapy could feel. It invited me to use my creative mind in completely new ways.
