Kelly Vo

I’m a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) who graduated from Simmons College School of Social Work in 2020, and I’m dedicated to providing a supportive, thoughtful space for clients to explore their experiences and goals. I have a particular interest in adoption-related issues and have experience supporting all members of the adoption triad—adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive families. I am currently completing additional training to become an adoption-competent therapist. In my practice, I also work with anxiety and relationship concerns, helping clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and foster healthier, more connected relationships.

I approach therapy with empathy and curiosity, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. Using a strengths-based perspective, I help clients recognize and build on their existing resilience while incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify patterns and develop practical tools for change. My goal is to support clients in gaining insight, building skills, and moving toward meaningful, lasting growth.

In our first session, clients can expect a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where we begin getting to know each other and discussing what brings them to therapy. We’ll explore your goals, current challenges, and any relevant background, while also identifying what you hope to gain from our work together. By the end of the session, we’ll begin to outline initial goals and next steps, with a focus on creating a collaborative and comfortable path forward.
