There are so many conflicting feelings, beliefs and stories that we tell ourselves and that are told to us. Navigating the systems of the external world along with our internal and relational worlds is often overwhelming, exhausting and painful. Relating spaciously and curiously with differing parts of self and excavating old narratives can help in honoring all of who we are and invite permission to create and relate in new ways.

Are you a white person who is struggling with daily coping, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationships, or creating social connections and who is also looking for a way to integrate your white identity into healing? For white people, the thought of addressing racial identity, racial inequality, and the legacy of oppression running through our families, communities, and institutions can range from overwhelming to necessary to an urgent need. No More Nice White Lady Counseling layers an anti-racist therapeutic approach into a healing space to enable white people to process racial material and move beyond guilt and shame.

Psychotherapy is about building relationships. In seeking a therapist, it's important to find one who "gets you"; is able to understand your unique way of relating to the world and to others in your life. My goal is to be accepting of who you are, to help you better understand patterns in your life that are holding you back. I seek to create an environment where you can develop trust, feel safe, respected, cared for. Psychotherapy can be scary and requires a commitment on the part of both the therapist and the client. Although the road is sometimes painful, we travel through it together.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anais Nin. Creativity, liberation, and transformation — getting your power back — these are core tenants in my practice. My approach merges reflective space to spark insight with concrete tools and strategies to drive change. I draw from existential philosophy, the arts, and culture, as well as research and theory to match unique needs with individualized treatments that resonate.

My approach to helping people through psychological difficulties is based on the idea that a special form of human interaction will increase self-knowledge, develop emotional skills and activate latent potential. I aim to identify unconscious patterns of thinking, feeling and relating that reinforce negative emotion and destructive behavior. My style is directed thoughtful and collaborative. The process of being understood, of learning about the various ways your mind works and of developing a new repertoire of psychological skills will open up new avenues for growth and engagement in your life’s pursuits.

How are you? When you are asked this simple question in a warm, supportive environment, it is the first step to discoveries that produce significant and lasting change.

Based on what we find out, we will work to effect the changes you want. Together, we will find your own unique keys to a meaningful and rewarding personal and professional life.

Hi, I'm Kelly Jeanne (also KJ), Therapist, Coach, Dance Teacher, Feminine Leader, and Creator of H.E.A.L.

Through feminine education and embodiment practices, I beckon you toward your most authentic, powerful and creative self. At its root the word heal means “to become whole.” H.E.A.L.

Educated in clinical psychology at the PGSP-Stanford PsyD Consortium, I trained in a variety of settings, including medical centers, community mental health centers, schools, psychiatric hospitals, and outpatient clinics, in California, New York, and Texas. My research focus was on families dealing with pediatric cancer, and I maintain a special interest in working with families dealing with medical illness.

I have over 20 years of experience working with adults, children, adolescents, and couples in a variety of settings. My approach involves warmth, honesty, insight, compassion, and humor. My philosophy is grounded in the core Humanistic principles of genuineness, empathy, and respect. Through my work, I have helped people from diverse backgrounds achieve improved health and move toward greater satisfaction in their lives and in themselves. I encourage individuals to tap into their own inherent strengths to find new, and more constructive, ways of navigating life's problems.

Therapy should be easy to understand and active from the word go. We don't just talk about the problem or figure out why the patterns are there; we hit the ground running with action and get you feeling better as soon as possible. I work with a lot of folks who have tried therapy before and been disappointed when insight and understanding don't lead to change, and folks who are trying therapy for the first time and want it to be practical and clear. I start with a free 20-minute phone consultation.

Are you and your family having a “few” disagreements? Do your chores and to-do lists keep growing? The pandemic has stirred up pervasive stress and anxiety and is changing how we work, live, and socialize. For many, this is also a time when old wounds from the past are triggered. I specialize in helping kids, teens, and adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and stress related to their school, family, friendship and career.

Welcome! I view therapy as a means by which we can increase curiosity about ourselves and the world around us. We'll work together to identify patterns and stuck points that may be impacting your relationships, work, school, and other parts of your life. Taking steps towards healing and self-discovery can be daunting. As a therapist, I work to create a safe, supportive space in which you feel secure in exploring the parts of your life that may feel overwhelming. Whether you are coming to therapy for self-exploration or for a specific concern, I look forward to being part of your healing journey.

You've begun a courageous search. Take heart, healing is possible.
