Hi, I'm Jessica Kelley, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience. If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by grief, navigating relationship challenges, adjusting to motherhood, or carrying the effects of trauma, you don't have to face it alone. You may be exhausted from trying to hold everything together while feeling unseen or disconnected. I work with adults and couples to create a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin moving toward lasting healing and meaningful changes!

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals through life's most difficult and transformative seasons. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, maternal mental health, grief and end-of-life concerns, women's issues, and relationship challenges. Whether you're navigating a major life transition or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you reconnect with yourself and the people who matter most.

You might look like you have everything together on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or mentally exhausted from carrying so much for so long. When you’re used to being the strong one, it can be hard to slow down or ask for help. You don’t have to do this alone. I provide a supportive space where you can understand your emotions, reduce stress, and begin moving toward feeling more balanced, confident, and in control.

Are you tired of carrying things that are just too heavy for you to carry alone anymore? As a licensed professional counselor, I can help you carry that load. In my 12 years as a counselor, I've worked with families, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in homes, outpatient offices, and online. I have a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, and have taught in graduate counseling programs, but my first love is working directly with individuals who are dealing with the effects of trauma, grief, burnout, or anxiety. I am a Christian and would be happy to incorporate your spiritual beliefs, whether Christian or not, into our work together, if desired.
