Kelley Elliott, LCSW — Therapist in Colorado

Hi there, I'm Kelley!

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed by life lately? You’re not alone. I help clients navigate anxiety, self-doubt, depression, and life changes with curiosity and compassion. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself so that you can create the life you want to live.

My focus

Are you struggling with anxious thoughts or self-doubt? I work with teens and young adults navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and substance use. Together, we’ll build coping skills and create a personal plan for you that feels empowering and achievable.

My approach

I use a variety of approaches. Together, we will figure out which one is best for you based on what you need from therapy. No matter the approach, I always make sure it's collaborative and realistic for you. I like to insert humor when appropriate.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open, and honest communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I do not "beat around the bush." I will listen actively and give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences before moving to the heart of what you'd like to work on.

My journey to mental healthcare

My therapy journey began with schooling in social work and a desire to help others in times of need. I myself have had to navigate many challenges and curve balls thrown my way, and it's not easy to do alone. I believe that people can't do better until they know better.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a partnership or a dance. Two people working together with no one individual doing more work than the other. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. It’s completely normal to feel nervous and even hesitant. We can move at your pace, one step at a time, and I’ll be here to guide you as we move along.
