Kathleen Kelley

I am a Board Certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, with advanced training in psychotherapy and medication management. I particularly enjoy working with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and the adjustment--both physical and psychological--to parenthood. My background as a Community Health Nurse visiting pregnant and newly parenting families, and my understanding of the hormonal and biological factors that are intertwined with emotional issues during this time, make me an excellent choice for prenatal and postpartum anxiety and depression. New parents are welcome to bring infants with them to appointments.

As a nurse, I take an individualized and holistic approach to both psychotherapy and medications. My therapy is relationship-based, and draws from supportive, psychodynamic, and cognitively based traditions. My office is a safe place where together we can reflect on your life, dreams and goals, and address any barrers that stand in your way.

I am trained in Child Parent Psychotherapy, which is helpful for parents and young children who are going through changes in their families due to death, divorce, adoption, or other stressors. CPP helps improve relationship and behavioral difficulties by increasing understanding and attachment between parent and child.
