Meet Michelle Kelly, LMFT 119787
I understand how easy it is to get pulled into the “sticky” nature of thoughts—overthinking, anxiety, and self-doubt that can start to feel all-consuming. Through my own work, I’ve learned what it means to step back from the noise of the mind and relate to it differently. That shift has allowed me to experience more clarity, more intentional choices, and a deeper sense of connection in my life.
This is the work I offer to the clients I sit with.
I believe everyone deserves a space where their story is heard, held, and truly understood. My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and helping you make sense of your patterns so you can begin to trust yourself more fully.
I began my clinical work in treatment centers supporting women with substance use and eating disorders, and later transitioned into private practice, where I work with teens, young adults, and women navigating anxiety, self-doubt, and life transitions. My approach integrates ACT, DBT, attachment theory, and family systems, with additional training in postpartum mental health. I also speaks at schools, treatment centers, and workplaces, offering tools for resilience, coping, and hope—and outside the therapy room, you’ll find me 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.
