]]> Kelsey Robson, MA, RCC – Counselling & Therapy https://www.navigatorforwellness.com/listing/kelsey-robson/ Thu, 23 Jan 2025 20:32:47 +0000 https://www.navigatorforwellness.com/?post_type=listing&p=6052 Kelsey is deeply committed to supporting her clients to become the most full expression of themselves. From unraveling old patterns and stories, to uncovering and reconnecting to your longing, Kelsey walks with her clients on the path back home to themselves.

Kelsey takes a systems approach to her work – identifying the ways that capitalism, patriarchy, colonization, and ableism impact all of us. While Kelsey welcomes all people into her practice, she specializes in supporting women and teen girls to navigate the burnout and exhaustion that comes from living within these systems, reconnect with their bodies and emotions, tend to their needs, and make choices that are in line with their true desires.

Kelsey is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Masters in Counselling Psychology from the University of Victoria, and she has additional training in EMDR. Over the past several years she has worked in a multitude of therapeutic settings ranging from trauma and addictions work with unhoused folks coming out of incarceration, to supporting kids and teens with anxiety. For the past few years, she has run a thriving private practice both online and in-person on Salt Spring Island.

Kelsey supports her clients with burnout, anxiety, grief, self-worth, self-care, communication and conflict resolution, trauma processing, emotional regulation, and navigating transitions. However, she most loves to support individuals who are ready to move toward greater fulfillment by re-discovering their true self and re-connecting with their joy and longing. Kelsey also weaves spirituality and ritual into her work where it is desired by her clients.

Kelsey approaches her work from a variety of perspectives and is always willing to meet clients where they are at and modify her approaches to suit the needs and preferences of her clients. Her approach weaves in elements of coaching, relational and interpersonal therapy, attachment theory, emotion-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and somatic techniques. All the work she does is founded in trauma-informed practice. This means that Kelsey is always deeply sensitive to her client’s emotional state and felt sense of safety in her sessions.

Kelsey works with all genders, but specializes in working with women and teen girls (ages 12 and up). She has experience in anti-oppressive practice and working with queer folks and LGBTQIA2S+ communities.

Kelsey grew up on so-called Salt Spring Island, BC on the unceded, ancestral lands of the SENĆOŦEN and Hul’q’umi’num speaking People. When she’s not at Madrona, you can find her curled up on the couch reading a book with her baby, or out on a paddle board with her pup.

As a psychotherapist, I work with clients who come to therapy to understand what has happened. During our initial sessions, we will delve into getting to know you, understanding your unique lived experience, and finding clues about what your healing can involve. Most of my clients experience new insights, more personal freedom, discerning ways of navigating, and increased self-compassion within the first few sessions.

Telling our stories is vital to both survival and thriving as human beings. I strive to provide a therapeutic relationship where you can express yourself naturally in time.

I will listen with curiosity, open-mindedness, and compassion, ultimately helping you identify areas of possible growth and healing.

Collaborating on strategies, treatment plans, and ways of moving forwards with new insights are all outcomes of our work together.

Meadow Dove Lang (founder of Meadow Dove Wellness) loves to support heart-centered folks (who are ready to include themselves in their circle of care and prioritize their well-being) shift their relationship with their stress and challenges so that they can enjoy more ease, joy, and fulfillment (in any/all areas of their life).

Drawing from a lifetime of study, and more than 30 years since her first official training (as a peer counselor in grade 10!), Dove lovingly supports people to bravely embrace their authenticity and enjoy greater levels of harmony within themselves, which then invites positive influence on every other aspect of life (for example relationships with others, occupation, etc).

She brings a wealth of knowledge in the realms of whole-istic health and wellness (too many trainings to list here! Most notably as a BodyMind Coach, Registered Massage Therapist, and Certified Yoga Teacher), as well as a lovingly powerful presence that allows the people she works with to dive deep and access inner reserves of wisdom, clarity, integration, and light-heartedness previously unattainable.  Dove honours (and works with) the Whole Self (Body-Mind-Soul).  This is more than just a job for her, it is her life’s work (both professionally and personally!).
We are at a critical time in our global history to connect and amplify our intuitive insights so we can discern truth amidst the misinformation and fiercely align with what’s most important.  Dove is especially passionate about helping “the healers and the helpers” find balance, friendship, and trust within themselves, as the benefits are amplified out in the world.
There are currently several ways to work with Dove, including private sessions (in person or via Zoom/phone), multi-month and full-year programs, retreats, group workshops, and more!  All of her offerings are personalized, responsive, and customizable.
To honour the courage it takes to reach out, and to get a sense of what working together can feel like (to see if it’s a good fit), Dove offers a complimentary clarity call ~ no strings attached!  It is her gift, to help expand the wave of kindness we’re a part of.  Contact her to book (and/or find online booking links via her website).

For more information, and plenty of complimentary (free of charge) resources such as guided meditations and more, please go to www.meadowdove.ca

Thank you!
