Kelly Powell, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kelly!

My goal is to create a space where you feel heard in a compassionate, non-judgmental way while helping you build on your strengths and overcome current challenges.

My focus

I work with adolescents and adults who are looking for support to help them navigate their life decisions. I have helped teens and adults with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, interpersonal, relational, and self-esteem challenges.

My approach

My therapeutic style is collaborative, client-directed, and individualized to each person using a range of techniques and approaches (CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based practices) in a supportive environment. I focus on helping clients find solutions, understanding, and meaning to reach their personal goals while developing a deeper awareness.

My communication style

I want to create an environment where you will experience unconditional acceptance and a safe place to share your thoughts and feelings. I understand that every one of us is a unique individual, complex and ever-changing. My hope for you is that you will feel more confident in yourself and your decisions and build healthy coping skills.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am passionate about my role as a therapist and find it a privilege to support others in bringing a greater sense of meaning and enjoyment to life.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting collaboratively. The goals will be small and allow for practices to be applied between sessions.

Our first session

The majority of the first session will allow us to discuss what brought you to therapy, how you are feeling, and if there are things you want to have more or less of in your life. I will answer questions, describe my approach to therapy, and cover confidentiality.
