I'm a veteran and therapist who finds peace in the natural world. I believe true growth comes from living your values and making real, experiential change. Whatever the space, I'll be there to encourage your growth with active listening, skill building, and action.
Hi, I’m Adam. I have a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Louisville, and I’ve spent my entire career in private practice over the past five years. My work focuses on helping people heal from trauma, and I’m trained in EMDR. I also work frequently with substance use concerns, depression, and anxiety.
My mission is to remind others that the strength to rise after a fall already lives within them. Throughout my own journey, I’ve experienced many setbacks—moments when getting back up felt out of reach, and failure felt final. But over time, each fall revealed a lesson, and each step forward brought growth, clarity, and resilience. I possess a diverse clinical foundation, supporting individuals with developmental disorders, autism spectrum disorder, mood and personality disorders, depression, and anxiety. I’ve been honored to serve in multiple therapeutic roles, offering individual, couples, family, and group therapy to those seeking healing and meaningful change.
In mental healthcare, true healing happens when you feel completely seen, heard, and met with grace. My mission is to partner with you to navigate life's complexities, balancing clinical excellence with deep empathy. I look at wellness holistically...focusing not just on managing symptoms, but on supporting your mind, body, and spirit so that you can thrive.
I believe that to encourage holistic wellness in others, I must practice it myself. When I am not working, you can usually find me spending quality time with my children, tackling a DIY home improvement project, or planning our next big roadtrip adventure. I have a deep love for long-distance travel, exploring historic highways, slowing down the pace of life and meeting strangers across America.
I have proudly served the healthcare community for over 25 years, working in an array of settings. For the past 8 years I have focused on mental health and helping others heal their mind, body, and soul with medication management, psychotherapy, and hormone balancing. I treat ages across the lifespan starting at age 4.
I specialize in treating ADHD/Autism, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Substance Use Disorders, and many other diagnoses by providing compassionate, evidence base care and diagnostic evaluations for a variety of mental health needs.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Kentucky. I have been in practice for 18 years. For the last 12 years, I have worked with clients in an outpatient setting. I am passionate about helping individuals recover from eating disorders. While I specialize in working with people struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns, I also work with people seeking treatment for non-eating related issues such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and more.
Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should feel safe, welcoming, and supportive. My style is soft, caring, and down-to-earth, but I am also honest and direct when needed. I will gently challenge you to consider new perspectives while making sure you feel heard and respected. Together, we will work at a pace that is meaningful and progressive for you.
Hi, I’m a therapist who believes healing doesn’t have to feel stiff, awkward, or like you’re sitting in a room being judged by someone holding a clipboard.
My style is warm, down-to-earth, and often sprinkled with humor—because sometimes we need to laugh so we don’t fall apart, and sometimes we just need to laugh while we’re putting ourselves back together.
I specialize in working with people who don’t fit neatly into one diagnostic box—folks with dual diagnoses, complex histories, depression that doesn’t budge easily, and the “I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help” crowd. If you’ve been called “a lot,” “too much,” or “hard to treat,” you’re exactly my kind of person.
What therapy with me feels like:
Safe, supportive, and human—not clinical and cold
A place where you can be messy, honest, sarcastic, or quiet
Collaborative, with plenty of gentle challenge when you need it
Rooted in evidence-based strategies, but delivered in a way that feels real and doable
Hi! I'm Kelli Wright, a licensed professional counselor with 19 years of clinical experience. I'm passionate about helping people get unstuck, overcome challenges, and develop skills to cope with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and more. I have advanced training in anxiety disorders and addiction.
My ideal client is someone who has experienced trauma and/or struggles with substance use. They are looking for a safe and supportive environment to work through their issues and find healing and recovery. They understand the importance of addressing their mental health and are motivated to make positive changes in their life. Their goals include building coping skills, improving relationships, and finding a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Their desire for change stems from a desire to live a happier and healthier life, free from the negative impacts of trauma and substance use.
Life can be overwhelming. As your therapist, I can help you deal with life's changes without judgement. My goal is to assist you with enhancing your life and discovering your purpose.
