Kelli has a Master of Arts in professional counseling from Richmont Graduate University and is a licensed professional counselor. She has specialized training in the treatment of trauma, specifically in evidenced-based practices such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and progressive counting method. Kelli specializes in working with individuals who have experienced abuse and other traumatic events. Her work with individuals who have a wide range of experiences has given her a unique perspective when providing counseling. Her desire is to help individuals find freedom from their past experiences and trauma. Specifically, her goal in counseling is to meet clients where they are, help them identify their innate strengths, and partner together to learn how the things they have been through in the past have influenced them. It is her desire to create a safe space where clients can learn that their past does not define them and that they get to write the ending to their own story. Kelli has experience working with individuals dealing with childhood trauma and abuse, domestic violence, grief, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety.

Are you an overachiever or high performer? Would you call yourself a perfectionist, or do you worry about not being “enough” despite knowing that you're doing well at work or at home? Mikela is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who loves helping people release judgment and shame to increase their ability to fully experience their lives, embracing their humanity and imperfections while still going after their goals. Sometimes this takes working on relationships, healing from trauma, shifting unhealthy thinking patterns, managing anxiety, setting boundaries, releasing unrealistic expectations of self, and/or accepting yourself. She has training and background in dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Gottman Method (couples work), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma work, and more. She has been a therapist for about eight years and worked in business prior to becoming a counselor. Mikela is known for gently nudging her clients to release the judgment and shame they hold toward themselves. She helps them learn to set boundaries and enjoy being in the moment as opposed to living in the past or worrying about the future.

Brokenness and disillusionment in marriage saddens me because I know there is a better way. As a counselor trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Couples Therapy, my passion is to assist in building extraordinary connection between partners who have lost their way to each other's hearts. My practice is all about relationships. In addition to counseling married couples, I help singles understand the importance of discovering and bringing their authentic selves to relationships and the divorced rediscover their voices and significance in the midst of their grief. I also help prepare premarital couples for the uncharted but rewarding journey of marriage. Relationship starts with authentically sharing one's inner world with another person. I seek to come alongside my clients to tackle relational hindrances, such as difficulty truly knowing and accepting one’s self, communication-skill deficits, and distrust related to past traumatic events. I see exploring emotions—past and present—as foundational for growth in individuals as well as couples. My view of the correlation of Biblical truths and sound psychological and communication principles provides an opportunity for progress in life on many levels.
