Since earning my master’s degree in social work from the University of South Florida in 2012, my career path has led me to gain experience working with individuals faced with a multitude of mental health diagnoses. For nearly a decade I have been working with people suffering from depression, anxiety schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anger management, low self-esteem, and trauma related issues.
My goal is to ensure that after every session you feel heard, understood, and validated. I aim to help you gain confidence navigating life's challenges and for you to feel you are not alone, someone does care, and that your problems are not insurmountable.
My extensive experience working in the mental health field allows me to pull from an eclectic assortment of theoretical backgrounds, methodologies, and therapeutic approaches and techniques. This further allows me to customize a therapeutic experience that is unique, realistic, and tailored fit to address your specific needs in ways that are in alignment with your level of comfortability, personality, spirituality, and personal lifestyle preferences

I started therapy at a time in my life where I really needed support. I got matched with Kelsey and she has truly been such a light in my life. She not only understands and supports me, she’s also someone I can have a good laugh with. I’m grateful to have been matched with her. My life has changed so much since talking to her and I know I’m a better person for it.

Kelsey is indisputably the reason I recommend this app time and time again. Her knowledge and patience has not only touched me but has helped my mental health more in one session than any book, article, or even person has in my whole life.

I am so grateful to have been paired with Kelsey. I came into therapy with no prior experience and not knowing what I would get from it. Kelsey was able to make me feel very welcome while also helping me to work through issues that were blocking me from living my life to the fullest.

Dr. Hackler is great. She listens and gives great techniques and perspectives to combat negative feelings and thoughts. I've only had her for about 3 weeks and I get excited to go to our sessions to talk because she really helps to change my perspective and feel better.

I’ve been with Miss Kelsey for several months treating Complex PTSD originating from severe and persistent physical and mental child abuse. This has been a debilitating disorder for most of my life, and I was prevented from achieving my potential in all areas of my life. Miss Kelsey has fostered rapid improvement and alleviation of much of the suffering that once defined my entire life. We still have a lot to work on, but I implicitly trust Kelsey as my guide. She is a compassionate and genuine person, and it’s these traits as a clinician that are helping me begin to nurture compassion for myself, slowly but surely.

Kelsey is very knowledgeable and practices an array of therapy techniques that have already helped me process and accept certain things I've been holding onto for a long time. She has provided me with resources and handouts that've helped me process some of the hardest obstacles of my life. She is compassionate, understanding, and attentive on our calls. She gives me the time and space I need to process my feelings, and thought processes. She provides me with a new perspective. I very much recommend her.

I just started with Kelsey a couple of weeks ago and so far, I love her! She listens to me, she asks questions, she wants to get to know me better so that she can help me understand and teach me the right way to cop with my "issues". I have a lot of faith in Kelsey and I feel very comfortable talking with her. I feel as though I am heard and that I mean something to someone.

Kelsey is at once supportive, genuine, and a great listener and processor of motivations. I had not expected to bond with a therapist so quickly and share my fears and hopes. Kelsey makes it easy to get to the issue at hand and help you focus and hold you accountable to the inner work we need to do to take back our health and find our peace!
Thanks, Kelsey!
