As a licensed therapist in California, I bring 11 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space for clients navigating relationship dynamics, family conflicts, and personal growth.
I specialize in addressing a wide range of concerns, including communication challenges, life transitions, workplace stress, and issues affecting young adults, veterans, and first responders. My approach honors each client's unique identity and experiences, with a particular commitment to supporting individuals facing prejudice, discrimination, and complex family dynamics.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I offer culturally responsive guidance that empowers clients to develop healthier relationships, overcome personal barriers, and cultivate meaningful life purpose. My work is grounded in understanding the intersections of personal experience, systemic challenges, and individual resilience.
I am deeply committed to creating a therapeutic environment that feels safe, respectful, and transformative for individuals from all backgrounds.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kellisha Priester. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She listens and is very direct on how to work through my issues. I appreciate how honest and forward she is.
