You feel completely disconnected from your body, overwhelmed by emotional waves, and alone in your healing journey.
But you are not broken, and you do not have to navigate this recovery alone.
Hi!!! I am Dr. Kelsey Harper (she/hers), a licensed psychologist specializing in trauma and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). While my practice is rooted in Washington, I am fully authorized to practice interjurisdictional telepsychology across state lines via PSYPACT. This means if you are located anywhere in the state of Illinois, you can securely access the same high-tier, specialized clinical care from the comfort and safety of your own home.
Specialized Therapy for Deep Trauma Healing
Therapy for Trauma & Dissociation
For Illinois survivors experiencing deep distress from past wounds, chronic anxiety, or complex dissociation (including DP/DR and structural fragmentation). We focus on reclaiming your innate power, rebuilding somatic safety, and repairing personal boundaries.
Modalities include: Attachment-Focused EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and Narrative Therapy.
Therapy for BPD and CPTSD
Tailored specifically for individuals navigating Complex Trauma (CPTSD) and Borderline Personality Disorder who want to break free from overwhelming emotion. Learn practical tools to regulate your nervous system, navigate relational stress, and change painful behavioral loops.
Modalities include: Comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, CBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Accessible Telehealth from Chicago to Springfield and Beyond
Finding a specialized trauma or BPD specialist who truly understands complex dissociation, intersectional feminism, and LGBTQ+-affirming frameworks can be incredibly difficult depending on where you reside. By utilizing secure, HIPAA-compliant multi-state video platforms, I bring specialized behavioral care directly to your space—whether you are looking for an online EMDR therapist in Chicago, navigating complex triggers in Naperville, or seeking comprehensive DBT support in Springfield or Evanston.
Because we operate virtually, you bypass CTA trains, traffic, and winter commutes, allowing you to transition directly from your therapy session into a safe, familiar environment to integrate your processing work.
How Does Out-of-State Therapy Work?
Is it legal? Yes. The Illinois Clinical Psychologists Licensing Board actively participates in PSYPACT, a nationwide compact regulating interjurisdictional psychological practice. My credentials and active Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) are verified directly through the PSYPACT Directory.
What about time zones? All virtual session slots are adjusted cleanly to sync with Central Standard Time (CST), making scheduling straightforward for your day.
Fees & Out-of-Network Insurance: Just like my standard practice, services are private pay. I provide structured superbills for your convenience, allowing you to seek potential out-of-network mental health reimbursement through Illinois insurance carriers. Learn more about my fees.
