Having the same fight over and over? Maybe you’re experiencing a lack of connection or intimacy? Wanting to deepen your connection, strengthen intimacy, and address conflict? Couples and relationship systems I work with want to feel confident and secure in their connection.

Individual Therapy
Feeling burnt out & tired of doing it all? Are you a perfectionist or a people pleaser? Are you experiencing symptoms of OCD and looking for relief? Are you moving through grief? Maybe you’ve achieved everything you thought would make you happy, but continue to feel empty, exhausted, and anxious. Individuals I work with are seeking more connection, deepened understanding of self, and increased self-compassion.

Therapy for Religious Trauma & Purity Culture
Have you been hurt by a faith community or experienced religious trauma? Feeling confused by something that once held deep meaning? Did you grow up experiencing sexual shame? Or rigid beliefs around gender, sexuality, and modesty? I offer a secure and steady presence to wade through grief, confusion, and exploration.

Teen & Adolescent Therapy
Feeling misunderstood, stretched too thin, or struggling with your body image? Is there new tension as your teen asks for more independence? Teens I work with often want to lower their symptoms and enjoy their life.

Sex & Intimacy Therapy
Sex and intimacy therapy is for couples or individuals. We can explore rigid beliefs, purity culture, desire discrepancy, non-monogamy, past abuse, or sexual anxiety. There is no TMI and no judgement - I’m here to support you in the pursuit of and exploration of pleasure.

Therapy for Infidelity & Affairs
When trust is broken, everything feels uncertain and unsettling. You might feel disconnected and alone, sitting in the pain of broken trust, disbelief, and disconnection. Recovering from infidelity and betrayals is possible. I offer a space to explore negative patterns, understand what happened, find and create stability, learn to communicate honestly and effectively, and begin the slow, gentle process of renewing trust.
Meet Kelsey Lucido
LMFTA, MDiv // she/ her
My name is Kelsey and I believe in the power of connection to help us grow and heal. I offer therapy for couples, tweens/ teens, and adult individuals at my office in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle, WA & virtually throughout Washington.
My approach to therapy is relational, embodied, and modern. I am not a blank slate, no facial expressions therapist; I bring my full, imperfect self into the room and I invite you to do the same. I blend evidenced-based practices with somatic and nervous system-based approaches to help you slow down, notice what’s happening, & start to reconnect with yourself and your partner. In my experience & through ongoing research, healing moments happen when we are connected, feel seen, and are supported.
“We tell ourselves stories in order to live. And, it is worth pausing to ask: Are the stories you are telling yourself nourishing you? Are they brave? Are they generous? Do they allow for change, for growth, for the breaking and remaking of the self? If not, let them go and rewrite them with care. You are the author, after all.”

Quick FAQs
Therapeutic Focuses
My therapeutic focuses are couples therapy, therapy for infidelity and affairs, OCD therapy, therapy for teens, therapy for high achievers, and therapy for religious trauma and deconstruction.
I work from a relational and somatic framework - you are the expert of your story & the relationship between us is a conduit for healing.
I value collaboration, compassion, warmth, and humor. I’m a relational therapist and I help people become more connected to themselves, which allows for deeper, more authentic, and vulnerable connections with others. When we can be our true, authentic selves we’re more able and willing to venture into the unknown, do the hard thing, explore our creativity and whimsy, and acknowledge our own growth and resilience.

How do I get started?
Reaching out is the first step!
Schedule a free 20-minute consult call here!
From there we will determine right fit and schedule your first session!
What should I expect in a consult call & first session?
Great question! During the consult call I’ll share about my process for therapy and you will tell me what you’re hoping to work on and process. We’ll see if we connect and schedule from there.
The first session is mainly me getting to know you - your family, your current context, relationships, if you’ve been in therapy before, medical history, and your spiritual context. I’ll also go over my therapy practice in greater detail and go through all the informed consent packet that you’ll receive prior to the first session.
