Keley Smith-Keller

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I use positive, solution-focused questions to help you discover the successes and power traits you may already possess.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a counselor because I enjoyed helping people and listening to their life stories. I started my career as a reporter and editor, so I've always been naturally drawn to hearing people's stories. My writing background is the reason I sometimes use writing and journaling with clients as therapeutic tools.

My goals for you

We'll collaborate to set meaningful goals that reflect your values and hopes. We'll identify what 'better' looks like for you, focusing on desired outcomes. I'll guide you in articulating clear, achievable goals using scaling and miracle questions to visualize progress.

Our first session

We'll begin by building rapport and creating a collaborative environment. We'll identify your goals and what you want to be different. I'll use future-oriented questions to envision desired outcomes, explore times when concerns were less intense, and highlight your strengths.
