About
I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen and understood, and I strive to create a compassionate, collaborative space where you can process life's challenges, build on your strengths, and move toward lasting change.
Hi, I'm Kelsey Bass, M.A., LPC. I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), life transitions, relationship challenges, and stress. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we work to better understand your experiences, develop effective coping skills, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change in a supportive and collaborative environment where you feel heard and valued.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centered techniques to help you process difficult experiences, build practical coping skills, and create the lasting, meaningful change you deserve.
Reaching out for support takes courage, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're navigating a difficult season or seeking personal growth, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. When you're ready, I invite you to take the first step toward healing and lasting change.

Tatrina Bailey-Josephs is a Licensed Professional Counselor, who specializes in helping children, adults, and families find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, complete, whole, and safe. Tatrina has 14 years of experience in the mental health field, working as a counselor, coach, and administrator in trauma-informed care for individuals experiencing trauma, behavioral, and emotional issues.
Tatrina completed her Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Criminal Justice at Walden University and her Master of Arts (MA) in Counseling at Prairie View A&M University.

Tatrina is concerned with the impact of loss and trauma and improving interventions to support trauma recovery for better emotional, physical, and relationship health.
Tatrina’s goal as a counselor is to provide a safe environment where you can explore your primary interests, develop goals, and determine strengths and assets as you move toward your aspirations. She believes in working in partnership to utilize your strengths to help you sort out your challenges and achieve your goals.

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 The Woodlands, TX 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 The Woodlands therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.
It is never too late to start your dream life, and Thriveworks The Woodlands wants to help you get there. Whatever your goal is–from going to the gym more often to going back to get your college degree to finally making that big move–The Woodlands life coaches are here to guide, support, and encourage you along your way. It all starts with a small step but knowing when and how to take that step can be difficult. We can help you break down your dreams into goals and break those goals down into a plan.
It’s easy to sit at the base of a mountain and wonder what it’s like on top. Together, we can begin the hard but rewarding task of climbing it to see for ourselves. For more information, or to schedule an appointment today, contact Thriveworks in The Woodlands Life Coaching at 281-667-9790.
Life coaching is a newer faction of counseling that many people have found beneficial in the last few decades. While there are many similarities between life coaching and counseling, they are not the same.
First, the similarities: Both aim at progressing you to a healthier and happier life. Both require licenses and/or certifications (of which The Woodlands life coaches and counselors have). And in both, our counselors will work with you to teach you tools that will help you lead a healthier physical, mental, and emotional lifestyle.
The differences between life coaching and counseling are simply where you start. Counseling focuses on healing. Life coaching focuses on reaching untapped potential. For example, an athlete would see a physical therapist if she tore a muscle. The muscle needs time to heal before it can strengthen. This is like counseling. However, if she was already healthy and just wanted to improve her athleticism, she would see a personal trainer. This is like life coaching.
One of the beautiful things about life coaching is that it is an incredibly broad session topic. The Woodlands life coaches leave lots of room for you to bring in whatever goals, dreams, concerns, or doubts you have. There is nothing too big or too small for a Woodlands life coach. If our discussions stray into the realm of counseling, that’s okay! Our life coaches are trained in both.
Commonly addressed topics include:
There is no one way to live our life, but too often we get sucked into the preprogrammed lifestyle. Life coaching gives you the power to create your own life, whatever that looks like. So, wherever you are in your journey, Thriveworks The Woodlands is excited to meet you and be apart of it.
At the heart of every life coaching session will be self-reflection. It’s easier to know your path when you know yourself, and all those small steps are what will carry you to your mountain peak. A few more specific examples of what to expect from The Woodlands life coaching sessions include:
Life is so much more than just surviving. When you start to hear the whisper of a dream, believe in it, believe in yourself. Thriveworks in The Woodlands is excited to start climbing your mountain today. Call us today at 281-667-9790. We offer evening and weekend sessions, and accept most major insurances for your convenience.
