I just came across Kelly's profile and had to write a few words. I highly recommend Kelly to any parent looking for a therapist for their child. The work she did with my daughter was incredible. My daughter loved working with Kelly. She would even remind me about the appointments! It has been over a year since they had their "good goodbye" and my daughter still talks about her. My daughter walked into her first session as a shy, anxious girl and left treatment as a confident young girl who isn't afraid to try new things. Kelly is definitely in demand but made my daughter feel like she was her only client. I can't thank Kelly enough for all she has done for my family. She is one of a kind!
