MY STORY TURNED OUR STORY

A Licensed Professional Counselor Here to Guide You

Imagine letting that weight off your shoulders. Powerful right?!

My name is Kelsey Ball and I am the owner of Tidal Therapy, LLC. In 2020, I began practicing therapy in the Wichita, Kansas area. The COVID pandemic brought challenging times but also paved the way for mental health providers to reach a wider area. Now, I offer services around the state of Kansas and plan to continue to grow with a group of qualified therapists to provide those services far and wide.

I take special note of the privilege I have in hearing your story in therapy and I seek to validate your experience and help you take charge over your present and future self and abilities in a judgement free manner. Taking the first step of coming into therapy can be uncomfortable and vulnerable, and if you’re thinking about taking that first step, you have already shown your strength. I aim to guide and support you through the hard times and celebrate with you in the good. You won’t need to face challenges completely alone; I will be the first to say, “I got you and you got this!"

MY PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

December 2021 - Current

LPC PRIVATE PRACTICE CLINICIAN

After over 700 hours of practicum and internship training, I opened my LLC and began practicing in a private practice setting. This has allowed me to work with various diagnosis such as anxiety, PTSD, depression, derealization, bipolar disorder and much more. I also work with specific day to day challenges such as work place stress. I have experience working with domestic violence, emergency responders, veterans, and individuals impacted by the foster care system. I am actively working towards additional certifications and my next level of licensure.

EMDR CERTIFICATION

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR uses bi-lateral stimulation to help reprocess traumatic memories and events in a safe environment and aims to assist in increasing overall daily life with this. EMDR can also be used in other challenges such as anxiety, substance use and more. I became trained in 2020 and continue to use EMDR in practice.
