Dr. Kelly Horton, Psychologist

About me

I am a Clinical Psychologist licensed in California with over 15 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, life transitions, parenting problems, grief and loss, career challenges, LGBT and blended family issues. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I am a Certified Substance Abuse Professional and have worked as an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider for more than 10 years. I also have extensive experience working with military members and their families dealing with separation issues, reintegration following deployment and treatment of specific trauma and PTSD.

My counseling style is warm and interactive and non-judgmental. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, compassion and dignity, and I believe in seeing the person for who they are, not as a diagnosis. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic and family systems theory as well as rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
