Kelli Redfield

Therapist

Virtual • Escondido, CA


It's difficult to find someone who gets you. I get it, I've been a client looking for a therapist. When talk therapy hasn't worked how you'd hoped, that's when you can consider a therapy like Somatic, EMDR, or ERP. I can help you with any of these issues. I am a highly effective therapist that also has out of network options for intensives. If you are using insurance and have CPTSD, PTSD, or OCD, we can only meet in the 1 hr format. I have extensive EMDR experience.

I have my MA in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, and BA from Concordia University, Irvine. I am a later career change and have extensive experience in the creative and tech industries.

I often work with women in Perimenopause to menopause, but have worked with men as well. The attributes of clients who find me are usually ready to change and have tried everything. I find they find the right therapist, at the right time, with the right type of therapy and it changes their lives. You can see more in my google reviews.

I know pretty quickly if we are a match and I won't waste your time, I know the people I can help, and if you want that kind of care, and hate traditional talk therapy, I am your therapist. Reach out to see if we are a match.
