Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Bedford, TX

Every person will encounter difficult obstacles in life, but your past or current struggles do not have to define your future. I have devoted my life to empowering people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, and other issues, helping them find long-term solutions. I provide therapy in a non-judgmental, supportive space with the goal that you will recognize your value and capacity for wholeness regardless of what holds you back today.

Hi! I'm Kelley.

I graduated from Southern Methodist University with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Religious Studies. I earned my Masters degree from the University of North Texas's Counseling Psychology program.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S), Certified Eating Disorder Specialist-Consultant (CEDS-C), EMDR Certified, and have over 60 hours of training in Internal Family Systems (IFS). With more than a decade of experience under my belt in both treatment center and private practice settings, I am well equipped to help you heal your relationship with food and body image, reclaim your life from anxiety and trauma, and navigate the emotional challenges of PMDD and perimenopause. And if you appreciate a mix of humor, authenticity, and occasional swearing, we’ll likely get along well!

I earned my Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2003. I had the privilege of starting in the field of sexual abuse/violence, which began my real-life education. I've continued my study of trauma, and in family dynamics. This continues to shape my growth. I have years of experience working in psychiatric hospitals with those struggling with severe mental illness. The one thing that I've learned and want to share is this: people can (and do!) get better.

I am dual licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I have extensive experience working in private practice and residential treatment for addiction and severe mental health. In addition to my MA for counseling I also have a Master of Theology and enjoy working with individuals navigating their spirituality.

If your internal world feels chaotic, fractured, or heavy, finding a place to land can feel impossible. Maybe you are carrying the weight of complex trauma, navigating a world not built for your neurodivergent brain, or feeling completely disconnected from your own body.

You might feel hesitant to trust a male therapist with your story—especially if your past includes relational trauma, spiritual abuse, or high-control environments. I completely understand. At Quiet Harbor Counseling, safety isn’t something I preach; it is something we build together through steady, respectful, and non-judgmental action.

As a lead therapist with clinical director responsibilities within intensive treatment settings, my days are spent managing complex clinical care. In my private practice, I bring that exact high-level expertise, administrative precision, and deep trauma training directly to you. I specialize in providing a dedicated, affirming refuge where you can feel entirely seen, heard, and empowered to live a self-reliant life.

You may be the person everyone counts on, but that does not mean you are built to carry everything alone

You deserve to feel human, not just functional. You can be competent, capable, and still need help. Those things aren't in conflict.

I work with busy professionals, exhausted parents, healthcare professionals, and LGBTQ+ individuals, who look "fine" but feel lonely, resentful, or stuck in survival mode. You want life to work without running on stress and guilt. Together we'll identify what's draining you and build practical boundaries, routines, and skills that calm your nervous system, protect your energy, and make daily life feel manageable and yours again.

You can verify your insurance in minutes and view my real-time availability directly through Headway — making it simple to get started.
