Hi everyone! I’m Kelsey Greene, LMSW, and I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve joined the team at Shifting Tides Therapy. I align deeply with the idea that emotions, relationships, and life itself move in waves, and as a therapist, my mission is to help guide you through those tricky waters with empathy and support – especially when it comes to issues that other therapists might shy away from.
My Journey in Trauma Therapy
Before joining Shifting Tides, I worked as a trauma therapist at Mosaic Clinical Services, where I saw firsthand how past wounds can shape our current lives and relationships. My background also includes time working at Selfhelp Community Services, where I worked with geriatric individuals, helping them cope with life transitions, grief, and loss. No matter our age or background, we all want to be loved and affirmed. My experiences taught me the importance of creating a space where people can feel heard and supported, and not just unashamed, but proud of their journey.
A Safe Space for “Taboo” Issues
One of the main reasons I’m so excited to be part of Shifting Tides is that it allows me to work with clients who might have felt overlooked or dismissed in other therapeutic settings. My focus is on sex therapy, anxiety, LGBT issues, and kink and BDSM, and I strive to create an environment where nothing is off-limits for discussion. Whether it’s exploring your sexuality, managing relationship dynamics, or delving into the complexities of kink, I’m here to listen without judgment.
I’ve spoken to clients who felt like their experiences in poly or open relationships were written off by their previous therapists. Some were told that their relationships weren’t valid or that their choices weren’t “healthy.” That won’t happen here. I fully believe that consensual non-monogamy (ENM) and other relationship styles are just as valid as monogamous relationships, and I’m committed to helping you explore these dynamics in a way that feels authentic and supportive.
As someone who specializes in LGBT issues and affirming relationships like polyamory and BDSM, my goal is to create a safe space where you can explore your desires, anxieties, and boundaries without fear of judgment. We’ll work together to untangle the challenges that life throws your way, whether that’s managing perfectionism and anxiety at work, navigating complex relationship structures, talking through issues around chosen family, understanding your family of origin, and so much more.
Excited to Help You Navigate Life’s Waves
I’m incredibly excited to be part of the Shifting Tides family and can’t wait to help people just like you navigate the ups and downs of life, love, and everything in between. At Shifting Tides, we believe that everyone deserves a safe space to be their true selves, and I’m honored to be a part of that mission. Let’s work together to navigate the waves—whatever they may look like for you.
