Caroline Kelly, LPCC-S

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Supervisor

I’m committed to bringing joy back into your life. I believe in seeking to understand the need under a feeling or a behavior to better help you, or your child, move in a way toward healing.

My passion surrounds building bridges of communication, whether that is between children and their grown ups or adults and their inner child. I focus on teaching the adults how to communicate with their kiddos in fun, playful ways while helping children understand and navigate their own big feelings.

Kelly Family Therapy was born out of a desire to help others in a sustainable way for my clients and for myself. By creating my own practice, I have been able to ensure my days are set up in ways to remain supportive of those I serve.

When I’m not working, you will find me having fun with my husband, son and dog. Together, we enjoy working out at our local gym, exploring new places, making up songs, camping, biking and being silly in everyday moments. I try to show up for them in the same way I support my clients to show up for their loved ones. 

Becoming a parent has shaped my presence in session and deeply informs my work. It also helps remind me of the need for balance and space for myself. I find those moments of balance in exercising, reading, crafting, art, and spending time with friends who make me laugh.
