Hi, I’m Dr. Brian Kelly (Ph.D.), a Licensed Psychologist in New York and Rhode Island. I work with adults, children, families, couples, and older adults, including those managing chronic medical conditions. I believe therapy works best when you feel heard, accepted, and safe to explore your experiences. Together, we’ll identify patterns, clarify goals, and create practical strategies for growth. My approach is collaborative, gentle, and purposeful, helping you build resilience, confidence, and a sense of empowerment, while feeling supported every step of the way.
I am trained in CBT, DBT, and ACT, which allows me to tailor strategies that fit your unique needs. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, or chronic illness, we will work together to clarify goals, identify patterns, and create actionable steps for change.
My approach is collaborative and solution-focused, helping you build resilience, confidence, and self-reliance. Therapy is a journey, not a destination—you’ll never face it alone. Sessions are a safe space to explore your story, gain insight, and move forward with clarity. If you’re ready to feel empowered, supported, and capable of change, reach out.
