Hi there! Welcome, and I am glad you are here. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have been working with individuals, and families for the past five years in private clinics, day treatment, and school based settings. Taking the first step in therapy is always the hardest part, but every step after that I will be there to help support you in your personal growth and development. In working with me, I will provide a safe, empathic, supportive, and genuine relationship to help you work through whatever brings you in.

Everyone is the author of their own stories, and I am simply a guide. We are all human and capable of change. This will be a safe space for you to share and explore. Upon identifying problems that are causing distress in your life, together WE will develop a plan to alleviate negative symptoms and develop healthy coping mechanisms. I will provide psychoeducation in order for you to gain insight and an understanding of your mental health. You will learn to reframe dysfunctional thought patterns in order to change unwanted behavior(s). You will walk away with a deeper sense of self and skills to live your best life possible.

I use mindfulness, energy psychology, EFT, to relieve stress, heal trauma, anxiety, relationships. We work collaboratively, listening to conflicting parts and needs, discovering how to integrate these parts to fulfill your unique potential, talents, and power, learning to recognize and transform blocks to their fulfillment. With those who wish to explore spiritual aspects, we look at the meaning of experience, including mindfulness meditation, teachings from all religions, radical acceptance, emotional intelligence. We work on many levels, from practical decision making; connecting past and present issues; symptom abatement and coping skills, goal setting; to a spiritual search for the authentic self and its means of expression.

I am trained in couples and individual therapy, and I treat clients who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational difficulty. My clients have described me as compassionate, creative, and empathetic. Our sessions will center around curiosity. This will be cultivated through my asking questions, promoting your self-awareness through mindfulness, and our shared experience being open to examination. Psychoeducation about the nervous system will be a part of our sessions to gain access to the body and how to regulate overwhelming emotions.

I am an energetic, youthful, and altruistic mental health counselor skilled in new age models of therapy.

Holding the conviction that as human beings we develop across the lifespan—emotionally, mentally, spiritually and so on—where some may see illness or pathology, I might see a pivotal moment, an opportunity disguised as a crisis, or a stuck-point seeking a breakthrough. Consequently, my view is very holistic—maintaining that the body-mind-spirit is a complex, interwoven field of energy. If you believe that wellness, fulfillment and contentment is the result of finding balance in the emotional, occupational, physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual domains of life, we would probably be a good fit to work together.

Hello, my name is Dr. Brian Kelly (Ph.D.). I am a Licensed Psychologist in New York and Rhode Island. The most prominent component that comes to mind is rapport and therapeutic bond. If one cannot identify with their clinician, it can be quite difficult to open up and trust. Being vulnerable with your suffering and shortcomings is a difficult task but one worth undertaking. My focus is on assisting each individual with feeling accepted and supported while working to create change.

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to seek help when you are feeling stuck. I'm glad that you took the first step in seeking a therapist to help with how you're feeling. You may be experiencing moments of sadness, anxiety, need help navigating relationships, or maybe something bad has happened to you that you feel is now holding you back from enjoying life again. Working with a therapist like myself, we can work together to identify areas of concern and set obtainable goals to work toward and improve your mental and emotional wellbeing to get you “unstuck”. With 7+ years of experience, I'm happy to help you reach these goals.
