Kelly Jerome
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC)
I welcome and affirm folx of all identities and backgrounds and look forward to providing you a nonjudgmental, supportive space.
I believe we all possess an innate wisdom that allows us to live in a state of flow, safety and healthy relationships. Life challenges, trauma, loss, and stressful transitions can often dampen our flow, showing up as anxious thoughts, panic attacks, depressed mood, or feeling unsafe or alone. During these seasons, we may feel highly activated or impulsive, or alternately listless, numb, or disconnected from ourselves and others. Sometimes reaching out for support during such moments feels immensely difficult, and yet I believe the power of connection can help return us to our inherent wisdom and flow. I enjoy supporting and affirming folx who are seeking improved quality of life, better relationships, new strategies for coping with life's inevitable pains, and a safe, nonjudgmental space for processing and healing.
