Verdant Counseling and Consulting
Ever Learning, Ever Growing, Evergreen
I’m Kelsey (she/her), and I am an imperfect person.
I say that to drop the veil and share that I see the profound benefit of this schema-shifting work of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR, not just professionally with my clients, but personally.
I started Verdant after hearing client after client say something to the effect of
“I’ve been in therapy for years - I know exactly why I act this way but it doesn’t seem to matter. I’m exhausted.”
I hear you.
You know what activates you. You know that the way you’re responding is irrational. You’ve checked all the therapy boxes and you are ready to be done - or at least experience some tangible relief.
You don’t want to be in weekly therapy for years.
Neither do I. That’s why I don’t offer weekly therapy.
I offer Therapy Intensives, Group Therapy, Couples Counseling and Skill-Building Workshops in Concord, North Carolina, and virtually throughout NC. My goal is to give you a framework for a different way of communicating internally and externally, provide focused time to get past a stuck point or an entrenched negative belief, and get you back to your life with a renewed sense of connectedness, curiosity, and confidence.
What to expect in our sessions:
Authenticity: I will curse. I will be human.
Real Reactions: I’ll sometimes say, "Let me fix my face," when we discuss the craziness of the world we live in.
Clinically Appropriate Humor: Laughter is healing. And, I think I’m pretty funny. (Hopefully you do too!)
Focused Depth: Whether we are meeting for a 3-hour intensive or a multi-day deep dive, you are getting a therapist who is as invested in your healing as you are.

You already know why you do what you do…
Now What?
Awareness is a great place to start, but a terrible place to get stuck.
If insight hasn’t changed your day-to-day life, you don't need more "talk"…
you need integration.
