Kelda Hartman

I have provided counseling for people of all ages, from 5 to 92. I have worked with children and adolescents as a school mental health counselor, with homebound elder adults with Providence Center for Community Health Improvement, and as a counselor and childhood/parenting educator at a community clinic. I previously worked at a group practice, but began my own private practice in 2019. I also have experience as a life skills coach. I’ve worked with children and adolescents in some capacity for most of my life: as a music instructor at a private school, an English/music teacher at a home for orphaned children and adolescents in Vietnam, and in the children’s ministry at my church. Whether you are looking for someone to work directly with your child, to walk alongside you in the challenges of parenting and/or to work with your family as a whole, I bring a wealth of experience to this area. My previous career was in the entertainment industry, working in film and television, as well as in the music industry, as a singer/songwriter. Because of this experience, I am well aware of the unique challenges that can arise when working in those industries and am well-equipped to provide support to those working in those fields. I am also able to integrate musical interventions into my therapeutic work, for those who are so inclined, which can be a powerful way to process emotions.
