Kelly Baumgarden

Hello, I'm Kelly, a licensed clinical psychologist (PsyD) with over 12 years of experience in the mental health field. I've had the privilege of working in various settings, including in-patient, outpatient, residential, private practice, and community mental health. My journey has taught me that everyone has the capacity for wellness, even when obstacles make it seem impossible.

I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you uncover the most effective ways to achieve your goals. Often, we might use a bit of humor to lighten the journey. I'm not here to judge or to claim that I have all the answers. Instead, we'll work together to identify and shift destructive thinking patterns and interpersonal styles that might be holding you back.

Throughout my career, I've supported individuals across the lifespan with a wide range of issues, including anger management, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, adolescent and teen mental health, depression, dissociative disorders, family relationships, gender identity, grief, LGBTQIA+ support, life transitions, medical issues, PTSD, intimate relationships, sex and intimacy issues, stress, suicidal ideation, trauma, psychosis, schizophrenia, spirituality, and phobias.

I use a combination of evidence-based treatments tailored to each client's unique needs. Sometimes, we might incorporate out-of-the-box methods like EMDR and hypnotherapy, especially when addressing trauma or other deeply rooted concerns. These approaches have proven successful for many of my clients.

When you work with me, you can expect a supportive and non-judgmental space where we can explore your challenges and celebrate your progress. Whether you're dealing with a lifelong issue or something more recent, I'm here to walk this path with you.

Outside of my professional life, I value staying grounded and connected with my own wellness practices. This helps me bring my best self to our sessions.

If you're ready to make meaningful changes and explore new ways of thinking and interacting with the world, let's take this journey together. Reach out, and let's start this transformative process.
