She also uses CBT and DBT in her therapeutic processes.
Ready to roll up your sleeves and make a transformative shift in your life? Acknowledging that our personal history often obscures rather than informs who we are, Kelly specializes in redefining perception: assisting individuals with trauma recovery & couples with intimacy-rebuilding with insight and useful techniques for bypassing roadblocks. She helps people hone their anger management skills and address the flip side of the coin: initiating the healing process after someone has endured physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.

I utilize a holistic and person-center therapy style, taking a mind/body/soul approach through the use of inner child work, IFS, ACT, CBT, somatic embodiment, and other therapies depending on the needs of each client.
Your boundaries could use some work. Your self-talk is more negative than positive. Your inner critic is loud. Your self worth and esteem are not where you'd like it to be. You're not fully living in your values and can't seem to understand why you keep hurting yourself through self-sabotage and broken promises in the process. BUT you're ready to do something different. You're ready to make change in your life. I see you, and I want to help you to help yourself get out of these negative cycles. If you're reading this, you're already considering that you may need support. Whatever it is, you don't have to carry this weight alone.

My priority is creating a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship that can serve as a container for you to get to know all parts of yourself - even (/especially) the messy parts.

Sometimes it feels like there are mountains in front of us preventing us from moving forward. These experiences may steal our energy and discourage even the most resilient person. Counseling can help. The majority of my clinical experience is in working with survivors who've experienced multilayered trauma, individuals struggling with complicated and unresolved grief and loss concerns, disenfranchised grief, and individuals dealing with relational and attachment issues. Many of my client's struggle with anxiety and are working through vulnerability difficulties with themselves and others.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
