Kelly Reber (she/her)
Hi, I’m Kelly (she/her), LMSW. I believe healing and growth are sacred processes, and it’s an honor to hold space for people as they reconnect with themselves and move toward lives that feel more aligned and authentic.
I’m committed to trauma-informed, gender-affirming care and creating a space where all parts of you are welcome. Many of us have learned -through family systems, dominant culture, or relationships- to quiet or reshape ourselves in order to stay safe or belong. Therapy can be a place to gently explore those patterns, reconnect with your voice, and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
My approach is relational, attachment-focused, and grounded in deep empathy and attuned listening. I integrate CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and self-compassion practices, while also bringing in somatic awareness - supporting you in noticing what your nervous system, body, and breath may be holding, not just your thoughts. I’m especially interested in helping people gently unwind patterns of stress and move toward a greater sense of regulation and safety within themselves. At the core of my work is the belief that we are always doing the best we can with the resources, experiences, and support available to us.
I bring a background in crisis stabilization and case management, which supports my ability to stay grounded with clients during overwhelming or complex experiences. I approach concerns through a non-pathologizing lens, recognizing how our behaviors and responses often make sense within the systems and environments we navigate.
Alongside my clinical practice, I work in social work field education, coordinating internships and supporting higher education students as they grow into their professional identities.
Outside of the therapy space, I’m a parent to young children and am continually learning through the beautifully messy process of parenting and tending to my own inner child. I value presence, connection, and simple grounding moments like sharing coffee, spending time with my partner, or reconnecting with my breath.
It’s a privilege to be in this kind of work, and I would be honored to walk alongside you in yours.
