More about me
Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 10 State: California
Hello,
My name is Kelsey Hopson-Shiller, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Southern California. I earned my Master of Social Work degree, with a concentration in Children and Families, and a sub-specialty in Animal Assisted Therapy from the University of Denver in 2010. I've had the opportunity to work in a wide variety of settings- from in home, to school-based work, to anger management and conflict resolution, as well as providing support to separating or divorcing families. I am experienced in providing therapy to individuals, adolescents, children, and families. I have also had the opportunity, especially through my experience as an Animal-Assisted Therapist, to work with children with disabilities and other special needs as well as families going through the foster care system, or families that have been built in part through adoption.
The message I share most often with my clients is that therapy is for EVERYONE! Therapy gives us tools to put in our toolbox- whether it's a short-term struggle, a problem that benefits from some outside perspective, or doing deeper work on our relationships with ourselves and others. Stigma around mental health tells us that 'broken' or 'crazy' people are the ones who seek out counseling, and this simply couldn't be further from the truth! Counseling and therapy offers everyone the chance to ease the burdens we are all carrying via a non judgmental ear combined with the training and experience to bring efficient solutions and opportunities for healing.
You are welcome to message me anytime through Better Help. I usually check messages twice each day, five days per week- I believe good boundaries are helpful for everyone, and I want to model this for my clients as well, so I do take two full days to rest and recharge each week. I want to bring the best I have to offer to each of my clients, and setting modest limits on my availability helps me to do that! I offer messaging, live chat, video, and phone sessions. My calendar may not reflect my only availability so you can always check with me about another time you might prefer through messaging first.
I wish you all the best and look forward to working with you soon!
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
