Kelsey Moffatt

Kelsey Moffatt is a Part-Time Lecturer at Baylor University, affiliated with the Family Service Center in Galveston County. She serves as Team Lead in the STAR program, providing mental health counseling to children and adolescents in school and office-based settings while supervising five clinicians. Her research, conducted alongside Dr. Holly Oxhandler since 2015, focuses on ethically integrating clients' faith into clinical practice. She teaches the 'Research for Social Work Practice' course to demystify research methodologies for students.

Moffatt's work emphasizes the intersection of religion/spirituality and mental health care, with a focus on client experiences, social work education, and practitioner training. Her research spans national surveys exploring client attitudes toward faith integration, MSW faculty perspectives on spirituality in curricula, and barriers to incorporating religion in clinical practice.

Her articles highlight trends in faith-based mental health approaches, curriculum design challenges, and the role of spirituality in youth mental health recovery. While no formal awards are listed, her contributions to clinical ethics and pedagogy reflect a commitment to client-centered care and interdisciplinary collaboration.
