Sarah Kelley
(She/Her/Hers)
Psychotherapist
I collaborate closely with my clients to establish a nurturing, warm, and safe therapeutic environment, fostering acceptance, healing and self-exploration
Dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or chronic stress can often impact the pursuit of what you truly want in life—both individually and in relationships—bringing waves of despair and moments of discouragement that often feel overwhelming. If you are a student, then these mental health concerns can feel even more complicated as you work to navigate the additional stress of academia life. I work with people who are seeking care for their mental health and are ready to take those first steps towards self-exploration and healing. My approach is rooted in unconditional positive regard for my clients, based in relational therapy through a trauma-informed, social justice lens. We'll collaboratively work on your therapeutic goals and equip you with valuable tools to manage stress and navigate life's challenges. I am dedicated to walking alongside you as you explore your emotions and feelings, discover your inner resilience, and take steps toward self-compassion and a greater sense of trust in who you are. I welcome all your questions and encourage you to reach out. You can reach me through phone/text, or email and I will respond within 24hrs.
