Kelly Norman
Kelly has a Master of Social Work (MSW) Clinical from University of Michigan School of Social Work.
I actively approach therapy. I tend to give guidance, suggest techniques to make the way to success smoother, and offer “homework” to practice those techniques between sessions. After all, change is most helpful when it happens both in and out of the therapy room. (Don’t worry; this “homework” doesn’t lead to grades or tests!)
