Katrina Estell, MA, A-LPC/MHSP
EMDR Provider
I am an Associate LPC-MHSP and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and parts-oriented approach to therapy, integrating EMDR and a perspective that honors the connections between psychological healing, relationships, and meaning. I have a particular interest in complex PTSD and complex relational trauma, helping individuals explore the experiences and protective patterns that have shaped their lives and move toward deeper, more meaningful healing.
I approach therapy with curiosity and compassion, recognizing that our ways of thinking, feeling, and relating often develop in response to our experiences. My work centers on understanding the person beneath the symptoms and fostering a therapeutic relationship where clients feel seen, respected, and supported as they develop new ways of relating to themselves and others. As a licensed school counselor, I also enjoy working with children and adolescents, adapting my approach to their developmental needs and incorporating play-informed and creative interventions to support emotional expression, connection, and exploration.
As a SOF spouse, I bring lived experience and personal familiarity with the broader context of Special Operations life. Through my participation in the Pipeline Program, I continue pursuing specialized preparation to support SOF service members and their families, including a deeper understanding of Operator Syndrome and other challenges that may arise in the context of service. I value the opportunity to bring cultural awareness to this work while remaining curious about each person’s unique experiences, relationships, and needs. No two service members or families share the same story, and I believe each deserves to be understood on their own terms.
I welcome individuals from all walks of life and feel privileged to support each person’s unique journey toward healing, connection, and meaning.

Michelle West, MA
Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, and EMDR Provider
I am a trauma-informed therapist who believes healing begins in relationships where clients feel safe, understood, and valued. I strive to create a supportive therapeutic environment where clients can explore their experiences, process difficult emotions, and strengthen emotional regulation. My approach is grounded in attachment, co-regulation, and the belief that meaningful change happens through a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship.
My professional experience includes residential treatment, school-based mental health, crisis response, and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services. Working across these settings has provided me with experience supporting clients and families with complex clinical needs, including those impacted by trauma, developmental differences, and behavioral challenges.
I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from Austin Peay State University and an Educational Specialist degree in Counselor Education from the University of Alabama. I am a Licensed School Counselor and a pre-licensed mental health therapist working toward full clinical licensure. I have specialized training in play therapy interventions and have completed EMDRIA-approved Basic Training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My therapeutic approach integrates child-centered play therapy, trauma-informed care, relational and somatic EMDR approaches, and behavioral analytic perspectives to support clients and families in processing experiences, building emotional resilience, strengthening emotional regulation, and developing greater self-awareness.
I approach therapy with empathy, patience, and curiosity, recognizing that each person’s story is unique. I am committed to creating a space where clients and families feel supported, understood, and empowered as they move toward healing, growth, and meaningful change.
Mandy Stout MA
Brainspotting Provider
I’m a therapist dedicated to helping people confront and heal from their challenges, and I do that by blending empathy, humor, and a bit of challenge when needed. My approach is grounded in evidence-based techniques, ensuring that what we work on together is effective and personalized.
I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative journey, where I’m not just here to listen but to really engage with you. I’ll be there to offer support and understanding, but I won’t hesitate to push you out of your comfort zone to help you grow. Let’s work together to create real change.
Keilee Daubon, MS
Child Centered Play Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy Provider
Hi! I’m Keilee, and I am honored to serve the Clarksville community as a mental health therapist. I graduated with my Master of Science in Counseling from Austin Peay State University and am currently working toward my license as a Licensed Professional Counselor with the Mental Health Service Provider designation (LPC-MHSP). I work from a person-centered counseling perspective: My clients are at the center of the therapeutic process, and I strive to empower them to take charge of their own healing and discover their self-worth. I am experienced in Child-Centered Play Therapy and specialize in working with children and adolescents regarding issues of trauma, family and peer relationships, personal identity, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and grief. I also work with caregivers on strengthening their parenting skills and relationships with their children.
I understand that therapy can be intimidating, but I am committed to walking alongside my clients as a fellow traveler on the road of life and providing a safe and welcoming space in which they can feel seen, cared for, heard, understood, and delighted in. Life is both beautiful and painful, and it is possible to hold these truths together while choosing to find and harness the beautiful to endure through the painful. I find it a tremendous privilege to help my clients work toward this balance and grow more into their whole authentic selves.
Kelly Dawson LCSW
ART Provider
Hi, I’m Kelly! I’m a 2024 graduate of Austin Peay’s Social Work program, currently working toward my LCSW. My journey into social work began in 2021, fueled by a lifelong connection to the military, coming from a large family of service members, my heart is in supporting our active-duty and veteran populations.
With 18 years of experience at the Department of Children’s Services and a background in both private practice and outpatient psychiatric care, I’ve seen firsthand how resilient the human spirit can be. I often tell my clients: you aren’t broken; you’re a disco ball. Just like stained glass or a mosaic, something beautiful can be refashioned from pieces that were once apart. When we shine a light on that journey, the whole room sparkles.
I know reaching out is hard, but as a dear friend once told me, “Pain shared is pain divided.” My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you don’t have to carry your struggles alone. Outside of the office, I enjoy quilting, baking, exploring, and spending time with my friends and family.
