While some clients may present with similar goals or presenting concerns, Kelley believes that each client’s journey in therapy is unique and requires an individualized d comprehensive approach. Kelley strives to help clients recognize their strengths, build emotional awareness, improve self-esteem and body image, establish assertive communication, define self-care habits, and develop effective coping strategies & social skills. She works to ensure each session is tailored to the client’s specific needs and various goals through use of Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and expression using art techniques. Kelley enjoys incorporating creative interventions throughout therapy as she believes that art has the power to inspire, motivate, and express what is often so hard to put into words.
