I am Kelly Conner, a resident in counseling with over a year of experience. I have more than 10 years of experience in the mental health field working with both children and adults. I specialize in treating kids on the autism spectrum, as well as issues related to divorce, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, sensory processing disorders, and OCD diagnoses. My background as a registered behavior technician (RBT) for ABA therapy has equipped me to support children on the autism spectrum effectively. I also bring a creative approach to help children and families discover new perspectives and techniques tailored to each individual.
I excel at communicating and building trust and rapport quickly by focusing on each person's strengths and preferred activities. I use a variety of approaches, including person-centered play therapy, directed play therapy, sensory play, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused CBT.
It takes a village nowadays, and it's okay to not be okay. Everyone needs help at times, and I am here to provide support and comfort as you work toward your goals. I will be by your side every step of your journey. If you're interested and ready to start, schedule an appointment with me today!
