About me
Hello! I’m Kelly, a Licensed Independent Social Worker based in Ohio with over nine years of experience in mental health therapy. I hold both a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work from Youngstown State University.
Throughout my career, I’ve gained extensive experience across various therapeutic settings, including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment facilities, partial hospitalization programs, and outpatient care. I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges such as eating disorders, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, addiction, and trauma.
As a trauma-informed therapist trained in EMDR therapy, I adopt a client-centered approach, believing that clients are the experts in their own lives and should guide the direction of their therapy. My practice is rooted in a strengths-based and solution-focused framework, incorporating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), among other modalities.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family, watching true crime documentaries, cuddling with my cats, and traveling to new places.

Kelly is super nice and understanding.
She doesn't make you feel as if you are a bother, she tries to fully understand where you are coming from in angles that others may not.
She also tries to come up with solutions in more ways than just 'Plan A"

Kelly is the best at putting people at ease and letting them set the tone for therapy. She gives you room to express yourself and share ideas and experiences, but holds you accountable when needed. Kelly centers sessions around your goals, values, and solution-based approach where you never feel condescended to or overlooked.

Kelly was great in terms of asking the right questions and figuring things out. I enjoyed my conversation with her and it helped me have clarity.
