Kelsey Eidson, LPC, NCC, R-DMT

The choice to begin therapy takes courage. It’s also the first step in a journey toward healing, self-discovery, and meaningful growth. I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. 

I view therapy as a collaborative process. I prioritize co-creating a space that offers a sense of warmth, openness, and curiosity towards all that emerges. Through this process, we will gently cultivate awareness – deepening your connection to your own embodied intelligence and expanding your capacity to respond to life’s challenges and opportunities. 

Rooted in a holistic perspective, my approach heartfully acknowledges our body, brain, and mind as an integrated whole within a social and cultural context. As an embodied and relational therapist, I work experientially with what is happening in the here-and-now, attuning to your inner experience and in the shared space between us. 

Whether we are navigating the depths of your inner world or the complexity of relationships, together we’ll create a space where insight can unfold and allow more access to your inner resources. 

So what does “Specialized in Movement & Embodied Therapies” mean? 

In addition to a strong foundation in clinical mental health, I have extensive training in a specialized form of somatic therapy called Dance/Movement Therapy. 

Sometimes words are not enough. As a Registered Dance/Movement Therapist, I’m trained in the use of movement, creativity, non-verbal, and body-based approaches in therapy. I’m skilled at gently supporting exploration into how the body and movement can offer insight, change, and wellbeing. 

I hold that the mind and body are deeply interconnected, reflecting and influencing each other. When we move, we are dancing with our nervous system and can directly access the implicit neurological processes underlying consciousness. Embodied participation in the present moment can help shift how we feel inside and support healthier relationships with ourselves and others. 

How I incorporate somatic approaches is unique for each client. This can look like anything from stillness to expressive movement, and everything in between. This type of work supports being in relationship with your body in a way that helps you move through life’s rhythms with greater ease and grace. 

I understand the word “dance” can sometimes stir uneasy feelings. Let me simplify: your breath is movement, your heartbeat is rhythm – that’s dance! And yes, I still offer traditional talk therapy. I thoughtfully weave together my knowledge and skills to meet you wherever you are. 

If my approach has resonated with you or you felt a spark of curiosity, I encourage you to take that next step and reach out. I’d be honored to be with you on this next part of your journey.
