Kelsey Quade, LCPC, NCC

Thank you for considering sharing your journey with me!

I see clients 8+ years old, and I am skilled in treating anxiety, stress, trauma, eating disorders, grief, relationship problems, anger management, and a variety of other issues. I utilize an integrative and eclectic therapeutic approach so each client receives the treatment best suited for them. Every person is unique; so should be their treatment. One of my main goals is  to provide a safe space where all clients can feel supported and work to improve their mental health. I value and prioritize genuineness and authenticity in my practice, and I hope to build a foundation of trust and respect. It is my privilege to do this work and to walk beside my clients through life's mountains, valleys, and everything in between.

I graduated from McKendree University in 2011 with a Master's degree in Professional Counseling. I have worked in the mental health field since 2008. My first role was as a mental health professional at a residential treatment facility for adolescents, where I later served as a therapist. I have worked in a school setting and in different outpatient settings. I have worked with children, teens, and adults from all walks of life throughout my career, and I believe this varied experience has helped me build my personal practices and strategies.

I am currently licensed in Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, and Michigan, and I am a Nationally Certified Counselor. I am a certified trauma specialist, an LGBTQ+ welcoming provider, and I have experience working with the foster care system, military service members and their families, and elderly individuals. I am also trained in providing ethical telehealth services.

During my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my pets, watching/listening to true crime, being outdoors, reading, jogging and walking, gardening, crafts, and sending obscene amounts of memes and cat videos to my friends.
