Avery Kesterson, MS, LPC-Associate (Supervised by Emily Morehead, LPC-S), NCC

I work with teens and adults navigating life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, identity exploration, low self-worth, anxiety, and perfectionism. I also support individuals healing from attachment wounds, processing painful breakups, and exploring current relationships that feel unfulfilling, stuck, or disconnected.

My approach to therapy is direct, compassionate, and empowering. I work with clients to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and to effectively move through the challenges life presents. I believe therapy is not about being “fixed,” but about becoming more fully and authentically who you are. 

Therapy with me begins by building a strong therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, safety, and genuine connection. I believe that healing begins with trust, and that trust is built when you feel seen, accepted, and safe to be your true self. I strive to create an environment where you can feel fully supported and free to show up exactly as you are. In this non-judgmental and affirming space, you can feel heard, understood, and valued as your most authentic self. I would be honored to be part of your journey!
