Kelly Holmes

I believe in our capacity to adapt, grow, love, grieve, overcome & thrive. Stressful events, trauma, loss, illness & change can overwhelm our ability to cope. We become stuck. We protect ourselves to avoid ever feeling that pain again. Solutions that once worked become part of the problem. When the wound is triggered, we experience pain & distorted ways of thinking. In therapy, we journey together to uncover & remove blocks to healing, transforming pain & loss into meaning, awareness & choice.

The first step is understanding what is hurting, what works for you, & how I can help. I draw from attachment theory, psychodynamic and Buddhist psychology, CBT, DBT, Family Systems, EMDR, somatic therapies & Mindfulness. I am LGBTQIA & gender-affirming. I'm experienced in psychedelic integration work, working with impaired healthcare professionals & trauma therapy.

If you want to get unstuck, you can take that first step. I have had the privilege to work with people of all ages, with many types of difficulties, from all walks of life. Each one with a unique journey. I have 18 yrs experience as a counselor and many more years as a human being, experiencing the joys and struggles of the human experience. I would consider it an honor to meet with you and help you on your journey.
