Kailey Kelley, LCSWA - Therapist

Education- MSW
Licenses - Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate

Hi, I’m Kailey. I specialize in helping strong-but-exhausted people who are used to carrying everything for everyone else and they finally want to slow down, breathe, and heal. I primarily work with people navigating emotionally demanding relationships or environments. Many of my clients struggle with trauma, anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, chronic stress, relationship stress, and feeling disconnected from themselves after spending years focused on everyone and everything. 

For individuals, my work focuses heavily on trauma, attachment, boundaries, anxiety, emotional regulation, self-worth, and learning how to move out of survival mode. For couples and families, I specialize in communication, co-parenting, conflict resolution, emotional connection, and navigating high-conflict family or relationship dynamics.

I have extensive experience working with populations impacted by interpersonal violence, including domestic violence, toxic or abusive relationships, and human trafficking. In addition, I provide forensic and restitution-related support services and have experience working with men’s issues related to emotional awareness, empathy development, accountability, and healthier relationship patterns.

My approach is warm, practical, trauma-informed, and relational. Therapy with me is not about pretending everything is fine or giving you generic coping skills that don’t fit real life. I use approaches like CBT, Narrative Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and person-centered techniques to help clients feel more grounded, confident, emotionally aware, and connected in both their individual lives and relationships. The goal is to feel human, honest, and supported; with room for deep conversations and some laugh when appropriate.

Before private practice, I spent over 13 years working in social work, nonprofit leadership, advocacy, crisis response, supervision, and trauma-informed program development. Outside of all things work, I’m married and part of a beautifully blended family, so I understand firsthand how complicated, overwhelming, and meaningful life can be. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, supported, and empowered to stop surviving and start feeling more like yourself again.
