Meet Kelsey Coffield, LCMHC, LCAS — Online Counseling for Adults in NC

Ready to feel more peace & confidence in your life?

Life can feel so hard and like your brain is in a constant state of worry, anxiety and overthinking.

The daily stress and worry you’ve been carrying doesn’t feel like it’s getting any easier or lighter, in fact it just seems to be piling on higher and heavier. 

It is possible to gain the confidence and techniques you need to feel like the best version of yourself! Let’s get to know them!

 
 

I believe successful therapy is about a strong, trusting, judgment-free relationship between therapist and client, which is why our work together will be provided in a comfortable safe space with you steering the way. 

We will work collaboratively to determine changes you want to make and clearly determine how you would know therapy is working. I have experience across multiple modalities which allows me to create a unique treatment plan based on YOUR needs. 

 

Therapy with me can help you feel less anxious by having an outlet to talk through what’s going on and learning ways to manage stress by connecting to your mind and body.

Why me?

You’ve tried getting through this on your own but the anxiety and worry are persistent.


Ultimately, you want to feel like someone gets you and understands the harshness of the reality you’re carrying, right? Well, I have been on the other side of this experience too, scouring profiles and trying to find someone that could help me overcome challenges I was facing in my own life. 

I understand the feeling of not being able to go another day unless something changes. 

Not only am I uniquely trained to be with you through the uncomfortable, I have also sat with a compassionate and supportive therapist that did the same for me.  I truly know how invaluable healing through therapy can be both as the client and the clinician.

Clients have found my approach to be trusting, warm and skilled at helping them discover their own needs and finding the confidence to pursue them!

Better Beginnings Counseling:

Supporting change for a more fulfilled life.

Life rarely goes as we have planned and sometimes we are left feeling like we’re at a dead end, the next step is too scary or we have no idea which path to take next. 

Better Beginnings Counseling was created to support individuals who are at a place in their life where they are just really unsure of how to handle the next step. 

Whether this is the overwhelm you’re feeling from anxiety, a devastating blow to your relationship or beginning an entirely new phase of life. I created this practice to help you create the change needed to feel better in your own skin, in your relationships and in your whole life.
