Thomasena Kelly MA, LPC, ADC
Hello! Thanks for stopping by….My name is Thomasena Kelly. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Alcohol and other Drug Addiction Counselor in the state of South Carolina. I have several years of experience working in the counseling profession, providing individual, family, and group therapy to address a variety of mental and addiction challenges that sometimes impairs our daily functioning.
I obtained my Master of Arts Degree in Counseling with emphasis on Marriage, Family, and Children, from Webster University. My employment history includes working several years with individuals dealing with addictive behaviors, at the Charleston Center for Addiction and Recovery. I've also worked with several private practice agencies in the Tri-County area serving individuals with mental health diagnosis such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD etc. In collaboration with Dr. Stephen P. Gibert, MD, a Pain & Addiction Medicine Physician located in
West Ashley, assisting individuals who receive Ketamine treatment for mental health and pain management.
Beyond my credentials and experience, I am a fun loving person, who enjoys interacting with others to help them navigate through life. I strongly believe that treatment should entail an approach that is relative to each person’s needs. I do; however, incorporate motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral techniques, from a Spiritual aspect, that I believe will be helpful to assess thinking patterns and behaviors that sometimes disrupts the overall functionality of one’s life. My love for Jesus Christ has taught me how to be passionate about empowering individuals to seek internal strength, to make changes that will produce positive results. My services are provided in a safe and welcoming environment, whether virtual or in person to ensure that individuals feel they can fully discuss their concerns without judgment or bias. So after sharing a little about me, I am interested and eager to learn more about you…
​
Hope to hear from you soon!
AFFILIATIONS
We are here to warmly support individuals, couples, and families on their journey to a better life with collaborative and comprehensive mental health care.
Mental Health is Important for Everyone
As a mental health therapist, my approach to therapy is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can talk about your concerns and receive support and guidance. I work with my clients to explore the specific challenges they face on a daily basis and develop practical strategies to cope with stress and anxiety. From mindfulness exercises to self-care practices, I provide my clients with the tools and resources they need to manage their mental health and improve their overall well-being. Although I utilize a therapeutic approach with elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution Focus, and Person Centered, I am able to incapsulate a Christian faith-based perspective in your treatment plan at your request. My goal is to help my clients feel more empowered and equipped Spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically to handle the challenges of daily life, so they can thrive both in and out of therapy.
“Inspiring faith, hope, and motivation for daily living”
To engage, inspire, uplift, and empower my clients to be their best selves. Through life experiences and various challenges, I have come to the realization that ultimately change starts from within, whether positively or negatively. TSK Counseling Services is here to offer understanding, healing, and hope with empathy to help you navigate through your life's journey.
Wherever the mind goes, the body will follow; if you change your thoughts, you will change how you feel and eventually change your life.
