Kelsey kraft, L.M.S.W.

Kelsey began her professional journey in marketing in the non-profit sector after discovering her deep passion for meaningful, servant hearted work. She closed this chapter of her work after contributing to a capital campaign at a domestic violence shelter. It was during this transformative season of service that she found her purpose for serving others. Through prayerful reflection, the Lord called her to return to her studies—first earning a Bachelor of Social Work from Weber State University, then a Master’s degree from the University of Michigan.

Kelsey brings a particular sensitivity to those who have endured childhood trauma and sexual abuse. Having personally experienced EMDR therapy nearly fifteen years ago, the Lord has graciously brought her full circle—empowering her now to facilitate healing and freedom for others through both EMDR and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. She is especially passionate about helping individuals find freedom and their true identity in Christ through the use of EMDR techniques. She also finds joy in integrating EMDR within marriage therapy. 

Kelsey works with both individuals and couples (married and unmarried). With a deep desire to equip individuals who are single or considering marriage, Kelsey emphasizes a biblical vision for marriage—one built on kingdom work and each person embracing their God given purpose. 

Within a marriage context, Kelsey believes that as each spouse experiences healing, they will become better equipped to pursue their unique, God ordained calling as husband and wife. She offers compassionate support to couples that are looking to increase intimacy within their marriage. She also works with couples that are looking to rebuild trust after betrayal, anchored in the belief that, although we all fall short, these shortcomings draw us nearer to the Lord. As it says in 2 Corinthians 12:9–10: “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me… For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 

Kelsey trusts that hardships—though inevitable—are never wasted, for the Lord is always present, working all things for good and His glory. She embraces the hope of Romans 5:3–5: “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame… because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”
