hello
I am Dr. Kelly Mason, the owner of REvise Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in West Virginia, an Approved Licensed Professional Supervisor, and I hold a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision.
At the heart of my work is the belief that people are not limited to the stories they have inherited, survived, or repeated. Counseling offers space to slow down, understand those stories with compassion, and begin revising the patterns that no longer serve you. I am passionate about helping children, adults, and families strengthen emotional well-being, build healthier relationships, and move toward meaningful change.
My clinical approach is grounded primarily in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with additional training in TEAM-CBT, trauma-focused CBT, and TraumaPlay. I also integrate trauma-informed, developmentally sensitive, and neuro-informed perspectives to help clients better understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, behavior, relationships, and the body’s stress response. Whether working with adults, children, or parents and children together, I aim to create a safe, collaborative space where growth can take root.
In addition to my clinical work, I am committed to developing future counselors. I have served as a clinical director, mentor graduate interns and supervisees, and am an adjunct instructor in a master’s counseling program. My doctoral research focused on integrating neuroscience-informed counseling competencies in counselor education, reflecting my ongoing interest in how research, brain-based understanding, and practical counseling skills can strengthen clinical care.
At REvise Counseling, my goal is to meet clients with warmth, respect, and curiosity. Together, we work to honor the story that brought you here while cultivating new possibilities for healing, connection, and growth.
The heart of our Logo
At REvise Counseling, the dandelion in our logo reflects the heart of the work I do with children, adults, and families.
Dandelions are often noticed first for their resilience. They grow in ordinary places, difficult places, and unexpected places. They return after harsh seasons. They root deeply, adapt to their surroundings, and continue reaching toward light. In many ways, this mirrors the counseling process. People often come to therapy carrying stories shaped by stress, loss, trauma, family patterns, self-doubt, or seasons of change. Counseling offers space to pause, understand what has taken root, and begin revising the parts of the story that no longer support growth.
The dandelion also holds a familiar sense of hope. Many of us remember holding a dandelion puff as children, taking a breath, and watching the seeds scatter into the air. That image captures something important about healing: change often begins with something small. A new insight. A safer relationship. A different response. A moment of courage. A breath before reacting. Over time, those small shifts can create meaningful movement.
For adults, the dandelion represents the possibility of growth after difficult seasons. Therapy may involve examining old narratives, strengthening coping skills, healing from trauma, improving relationships, or reconnecting with parts of the self that have been buried under responsibility, survival, or pain.
For children, the dandelion reflects curiosity, play, imagination, and development. Children often communicate through play before they can fully explain their feelings in words. In counseling, play becomes a way to understand their inner world, support emotional regulation, and help them build confidence, connection, and resilience.
For parents and children, the dandelion symbolizes connection across generations. Just as seeds are carried outward, family patterns, beliefs, strengths, and wounds can travel from one generation to the next. Parent-child work creates space to notice those patterns with compassion, strengthen the relationship, and cultivate new ways of understanding and responding to one another.
The name REvise reflects the belief that while together we cannot erase every painful chapter, we can return to the story with care, insight, and support. We can edit what no longer fits. We can make room for growth. We can honor what has been survived while cultivating what comes next.
The dandelion reminds us that healing does not always begin in perfect conditions. Sometimes, growth begins exactly where we are.
