The Melanin Initiative's Podcast
In healthcare, there is often too much information and not enough time. Here at The Melanin Initiative, we avoid TMI by breaking things down into language you can understand, we create a safe space to ask your questions, and share our nursing perspective without taking too much of your time.

Welcome to the Melanin Initiative!

She has extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, burnout, trauma, and life transitions. Kelsey’s approach is person-centered, utilizing evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD. She is also well-versed in working with multicultural issues and diverse populations, with a focus on holistic wellness.
In this episode, Kelsey provides an in-depth exploration of Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), discussing who it's for, what a typical session looks like, and its benefits.
