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.

Kelly is a kind and intelligent therapist. She provides lots of materials that help with my therapy. She’s a very good listener and seems to quickly pick up where we left off on a prior visit. I would highly recommend Kelly especially for trauma related issues.

I can't speak highly enough about Kelly's expertise and dedication. From the first session, I felt a sense of comfort and trust. Her deep understanding of human psychology and her ability to listen without judgment were truly remarkable.
Throughout our sessions, she consistently demonstrated remarkable skill in guiding me through my thoughts and emotions, helping me gain valuable insights and coping strategies. Her empathetic approach made me feel heard and validated, creating a safe space for me to open up and address my concerns.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate therapist!
