Dr. Kemi Sells, DBH, LCSW-S, ACSW, BCD

Each situation, every encounter, and every person is inherently distinctive; hence, the approach to address them must also be uniquely tailored. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my passion lies in collaborating with individuals, armed with the understanding that each person's journey is unparalleled. With my expertise, I am dedicated to working with individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly who are struggling with significant mental health challenges.

I am committed to helping individuals cultivate a more fulfilling life by partnering with them on their journey. My professional scope includes assisting clients with issues such as insomnia, trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, sexual and physical abuse, grief and loss, relationship complexities, marital challenges, sexuality, self-injurious behaviors, parent-child conflicts, and various other stressors that can disrupt daily life. 

While my primary therapeutic modality is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I also integrate strength-based, solution-focused, person-centered, and trauma-focused approaches to discern and formulate cognitive remedies.

Education and Experience

I have a strong educational background and extensive experience in the field of mental health. I hold a Doctor of Behavioral Health degree from Arizona State University, a Master of Social Work degree from Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis, a Master of Science degree in Organizational and Human Resource Development from Abilene Christian University, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology from the University of Evansville.

With over two decades of experience in the field of social work, including more than ten years dedicated specifically to counseling, I have gained valuable insights and skills in navigating diverse populations and complex cases. My commitment lies in improving the well-being and outcomes of both individuals and communities through evidence-based and holistic interventions. 

In addition to my technical expertise in mental health, mental health counseling, and behavioral health, I possess strong interpersonal, communication, and leadership capabilities. These skills enable me to effectively connect with and support my patients and their families. I am passionate about advancing the field of behavioral medicine and constantly striving to utilize my education, wealth of experience, and comprehensive knowledge to make a positive impact.
