About
As a therapist who has been in the field for 9 years, I understand how complex each individual's story can be.
My clinical background includes working with individuals struggling with substance abuse, children and families in the foster care setting, victims and perpetrators of sexual abuse and assault, and clients with generalized anxiety, depression, eating disorders and trauma. I particularly enjoy working with young adults struggling with depression and anxiety who want to work on their self esteem and create a stronger sense of self-worth. I am also passionate about working with mothers, some of whom are struggling to adjust to motherhood, finding their voice, and recognizing their value within the family system. I love working with clients who are motivated and goal oriented to create the life that they want to live. I will support you along the way and help identify what exactly that looks like for you.
I offer a nonjudgmental clinical environment for clients to be able to process and identify what struggles they are currently faced with and start to unravel how those came to be. I would help to work through any experiences that you feel are relevant to where you are now and help you to connect how your experiences have shaped your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Clients have shared with me in the past that I am down to earth and that they feel comfortable opening up to me knowing that I will support them in their choices.
Life can be really challenging at times. Most of us go through life having some sort of idea or plan of what we want to happen and often times, we are faced with obstacles that we didn't plan for. Some of those can seem overwhelming and even impossible to navigate. I want you to know that I am here to help you figure out a way to cope and make improvements in your life. I'm hoping after reading my bio, you feel like we would be a good match together.

Charlotte Kelsey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Massachusetts with over 3 years of experience providing clinical assessment and care to adult clients seeking treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, and life transitions. Charlotte’s passion for therapy started during her time as a patient care technician in a hospital trauma unit. Much of her time was spent at patients’ bedsides, listening to their stories.
It was this experience that led Charlotte to complete her Master of Science degree in mental health counseling at Suffolk University in Boston, MA. As a clinician, she provides a person-centered approach to therapy with a focus on mindfulness-based, cognitive behavioral (CBT), and solutions-focused treatment. She is a steady advocate for sex positivity and a committed ally to the LGBTQIA+ community. She listens without judgment and strives to provide a place for individuals seeking a safer space.
Charlotte is adaptable in her method and pays close attention to each individual’s needs. She fully believes collaborative care is essential in supporting one’s goals and values in life.

Life coaching is a personalized support system that helps individuals clarify goals, develop action plans, and navigate challenges. Coaches employ effective communication and active listening to assist clients in overcoming obstacles, unlocking their potential, and achieving personal growth for a more fulfilling life.
In life coaching, our coaches utilize diverse therapeutic techniques that are tailored to individuals, including cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, and positive psychology approaches. They also utilize active listening and empathetic communication to provide a supportive space for you to explore and achieve personal goals and overcome challenges, fostering personal growth and clarity.
Life coaching with our therapists in Somerville, MA is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of life coaching sessions someone attends can differ based on the coach and the client’s choices. How many sessions are needed and how often they occur often hinges on the client’s objectives and the complexity of their concerns. Some clients might opt for a few sessions to tackle particular goals or issues, while others may decide on ongoing coaching sessions to work on personal growth and life enhancement over a more extended period of time. Thriveworks Somerville therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.
The benefits of goal setting are clear, but setting and executing a goal is often easier said than done. Short-cuts do not work for long-term success. What does work? Support. Encouragement. Help. Mentoring. Many people find these from a life coach.
Thriveworks in Somerville offers life coaching because setting goals and achieving more in life is worth the effort, but we know it takes effort. We are ready to support our clients to find the right goals that can set them up to have the life they want.
Thinking about goal setting or life coaching may spark thoughts about being forced to eat more vegetable or cut out sugar. That is one way to conceptualize goals, but there is another say to see it. Goals and life coaching are ways to keep what you value as the center of your life. Because people can value anything, they can center their life on anything—whatever brings joy, love, or excitement to your life. Here are a few examples of the topics people can cover with their life coach and set goals to make positive changes:
There are no limits on the kind of goals people can set and the topics they can explore through life coaching.
If you want to meet with a life coach and discuss adding more “want-tos” to your calendar, know that Thriveworks Counseling in Somerville has appointments for life coaching. When you contact our office to schedule an appointment, you may be meeting with your coach within the same week. We also offer evening and weekend appointments, but we do not keep a waitlist (so you will never be put on one!). Let’s get started. Contact Thriveworks Counseling in Somerville today.
