Kelly Gulat, LPC
About me
Hello, my name is Kelly Gulat (last name pronounced 'goo-lot'). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience providing therapy and over 20 years working in the mental health field. I enjoy helping clients find their most fulfilling path in life. We are whole people and as such, I focus on the many aspects of life that contribute to each person's wellbeing. Some topics that therapy is especially helpful in addressing are stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, personal identity, gender identity, culture, spirituality, acceptance, self-esteem, health and wellness, communication, family matters, boundaries, motivation, confidence, goals, and of course change. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I look forward to getting to know you and partnering with you on your journey of self-discovery.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kelly Gulat. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
My counselor listens to me and I am so appreciative that whenever our appointment she so vividly is totally cognizant of our last appointments topics, readings, and potential work (which I absolutely LOVE!?). My counselor gives me confidence in my future even tho I have none myself.

Kelly is a very knowledgeable and compassionate therapist. She is great at understanding my needs and issues and she’s also really good at providing helpful information that I can use in sessions and offering suggested task between sessions. I would highly recommend Kelly for anyone who is suffering from trauma.
