Brandi Kelley, LCSW

I strive to make the therapeutic experience warm, collaborative, nonjudgmental, and safe. You already possess everything you need to make changes, our job is to harness your strengths to do so. The psychodynamic, CBT, ERP, and ACT informed therapies I use are designed to (1) help you face and tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings so they have less influence on your life, (2) improve awareness, self-compassion, and connection to the present moment, and (3) make committed action towards what you value, rather than remaining stuck in unfulfilling patterns. Sessions and treatment will be tailored to meet your unique and specific needs. Our first few sessions will focus on assessment, your story, and goal development. I enjoy working with all adults but have a special interest in young adults, including college students. 

Empathy, unconditional positive regard, validation, and compassion have been ingrained into my personal identity through my own healing journey, my education and training, and my professional experiences. I always strive to bring these qualities into a client's therapeutic experience as I feel these are foundational elements for successful therapy.  I am happy to share more about my education and training experiences.
