Meet Michelle Kelly, LMFT 119787
Michelle Kelly is a therapist, speaker, wife, and mother who supports women navigating identity shifts, motherhood, and the quiet weight of “not enoughness.” Her path into this work wasn’t linear—after college, she spent years traveling and searching for herself, a season that ultimately clarified her values and led her back to graduate school in clinical psychology with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. She began her career in treatment centers supporting women with substance use and eating disorders, and in 2019 opened her private practice through the Ludington Institute for Family Enrichment, where she continues to offer grounded, compassionate care. Michelle is trained in Postpartum Mental Health through Postpartum Support International and integrates ACT, DBT, Attachment Theory, and Family Systems. She also speaks at schools, treatment centers, and workplaces, offering tools for resilience, coping, and hope—and outside the therapy room, you’ll find her reading, crafting, writing, or recharging in nature, especially near the ocean, sunrise skies, and tall trees.
My Values:
Real: I show up authentically for myself and for my clients. I prioritize safety, trust, and choice, and I believe that meaningful change happens through genuine connection.
Reflective: My approach is thoughtful, present, and emotionally attuned. I believe you already hold the answers you need, and my role is the privilege of helping you uncover or remember them.
Liberating: Therapy is a path to self-empowerment. It’s about unlearning old patterns, embracing your freedom, and living a life that feels fully your own.
