Kelly Sheets

I’m an LPC-MHSP and LCPC with a little over nine years under my belt. I mainly work with PTSD, trauma, OCD, DV/SA, and BPD, but I see a mix of other things, too.

And personality-wise? I’m Appalachian at heart, currently wandering around the Midwest like someone who took a wrong turn but decided to stay anyway. I’ve got a restless, 'let’s see where life goes' kind of spirit. Also, I’m an unapologetic animal person—specifically dogs, foxes, geese, and axolotls. Yes, that’s a chaotic combination, and yes, I stand by it.

In sessions, I’m pretty relaxed and easygoing—think 'human being having a conversation,' not 'clipboard robot.' People open up way more when they don’t feel like they have to perform or be perfect, so I try to make the space feel like you can just show up exactly as you are. My approach is loosely existential at the core, but honestly, I pull from whatever actually works for the human in front of me. You create your treatment plan with me.

I’m big on autonomy. I want you to ask questions, help shape your treatment plan, and show up however you are that day. If you need to laugh, cry, cuss, or stare into the void for a minute, that’s all fair game. Healing isn’t linear, and it’s definitely not neat or tidy. There’s so much pressure to not be messy, but honestly? We're all messy at times and that's ok. You are you in every moment.
