Kelli Sullivan
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Kelli Sullivan is a licensed therapist who treats adults age 18 to 64. She is accepting new patients.
Kelli’s approach uses cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies. Having personally experienced panic attacks, depression, and using substances to numb her emotions, Kelli brings a deep understanding of mental health struggles to her practice. Her time working with students at the Goleta Boys & Girls Club, where she led trips to national parks and camping spots, inspired her to pursue a career in counseling. She now focuses on finding healing through connection, nature, and mindfulness. Raised in California, Kelli has lived in Santa Barbara for 27 years. She has been married to her husband for 15 years, and together for 20. They share a Maltipoo, a leopard gecko, and a dwarf hamster. As a family, they enjoy listening to music, visiting the beach, and spending time with family in Ojai.
