Kelsey Connor
Intern, MSW Candidate
Education/
Experience
I am a clinical intern in my final year of the Master of Social Work program at Winona State University. Since earning my bachelor’s degree in criminal justice in 2012, I went on to become a licensed social worker in Wisconsin, working primarily within the mental health, addiction services, and criminal justice fields over the past 12 years. My passion for counseling was ignited by my experiences as a social worker, where I witnessed firsthand the complex nature of human beings and their resilience. This passion was further nurtured during my foundation-level internship at Peace of Mind Counseling in 2022, where I observed a diverse range of effective therapeutic approaches and models.
Approach/
Interests
I employ a collaborative and strength-based approach in my work with clients. I believe in the power of systemic theory in social work, recognizing the interconnectedness of individuals with their environment and relationships. I am committed to continuous learning and collaboration with my supervisor to provide the best possible care for clients. My goal is to support clients in reconnecting with their innate wisdom and strength, fostering healing and growth in a culturally responsive and trauma-informed manner.

I am an intern at Arrow Behavioral Health, doing my first-year field placement. I just complete my opioid certificate and I’m in the process of applying for my substance abuse counselor in training (SAC-it) license. I am interested in advocating and providing counseling and resources for people who have become involved in the criminal justice system due to mental health and substance abuse disorders. I am new to the field, however, through education and experience I hope to learn all the ways I can offer services to those in need.
