My Approach to Helping
My name is Kathy Kelly, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been licensed since 2009 and have experience working with individuals, adolescents, and families in crisis. I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, adjustment issues, and understanding behavior patterns that are set from childhood. I have extensive experience working with individuals who are experiencing difficult life changes, stress, and chronic mental health conditions.
The most common approaches that I use are cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, emotionally focused, mindfulness, solutions-focused, grief, and trauma-focused therapy. I am comfortable working with various levels of life experiences, including childhood trauma, current stressors, and life transitions, and I appreciate using psychodynamic and family systems therapy to help my clients understand and identify patterns of behavior and negative thought patterns that originated from their past experiences.
I provide a safe space with the goal of making my clients feel welcome, comfortable, and at ease. I have been very successful at teaching clients coping skills and helping clients process their feelings and emotions with the goal of finding peace, happiness, and an overall sense of well-being. Your journey begins today, and I will be there with you to guide you and support you.
