Dr. Anthony Kelley

I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Texas, South Carolina, and Florida. In addition, I have recently retired from the U.S. Army as a Chaplain. I have extensive experience in helping clients with various traumas, dissociation, and abuse with EMDR therapy. You will be treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Tailoring our dialog and treatment plan to your specific needs is paramount. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling, happier life takes courage. You will be supported in that process.

I am committed to your therapy process and approach. No doubt, life can be hard and strip away our self-worth, hope, compassion for others, and our ability to find joy and happiness. At times, we can effectively resolve issues on our own; at other times, the help of a compassionate, professionally trained therapist can make a significant difference in our lives. So long as you have "hope," are willing to do some "work," and trust the "process," I feel confident in my ability to assist you with your therapeutic goals.

As with physical healing, lasting transformation takes time. We recommend at least once-a-week sessions. Our counseling hour lasts 45 to 50 minutes, so be ready to work from the beginning. However, trust and the therapeutic relationship take time to build. While change began the moment you determined to reach out for pastoral care, expect the beginnings of lasting change to come along with many hours of hard work. Self-awareness and self-acceptance are goals that sometimes take a long time to achieve.
