Kelly Parker

Welcome! I’m Kelly, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping others navigate many of life’s challenges. After the premature birth of my daughter, I had a very difficult time finding support. As a result, I am especially dedicated to helping adults navigate infertility, pregnancy, and early parenthood. Leading with curiosity, compassion, and many metaphors (haha), my goal is to provide a safe space where you can express yourself freely and help you live life with confidence.

My areas of clinical focus are on anxiety and depression, particularly during the perinatal period (before and after a pregnancy or delivery). I often work well with those who experience:

• extreme sadness
• loss of interest or pleasure
• feelings of numbness
• changes in appetite or weight
• poor sleep
• sluggishness
• worthlessness
• guilt
• irritability
• panic attacks
• avoidance
• intrusive thoughts
• hyperawareness
• difficult or traumatic reproductive period
• infertility
• birth trauma

I will ask you to describe what makes you feel stuck and what you would like to accomplish in our work together. From there, we will focus on techniques that will help you to feel more confident in your innate abilities, lessen or eliminate negative thoughts, and feel more relaxed in your daily life. For those struggling with trauma and PTSD, we will focus on skills to manage your reproductive trauma and help to navigate your past to move more confidently into parenting. Virtual Sessions Only.
