Meet Dr. Kelly
Welcome to Restoration Path Counseling LLC. Learn about my journey, my passion for healing, and how I'm dedicated to supporting you on your path to a meaningful life.
My journey to Social Work
My personal journey began early, becoming a young parent at 13 and again at 18. This experience, along with navigating trauma, domestic violence, and poverty, provided me with a profound understanding of life's challenges. I utilized government assistance, which eventually led me to a career in social work. I earned my bachelor's in psychology, a master's in social work, and a doctorate in social work, all before the age of 30.
My passion and purpose
My ultimate goal is to give back to the community of young parents, a population I once belonged to. I am passionate about helping young parents heal from trauma, providing essential community resources, and offering individualized support to begin their healing journey. My aim is to help you navigate life's challenges, transitioning from merely surviving to living a truly meaningful life. I also plan to start group therapy to foster a sense of belonging, reminding you that you are never alone.
My counseling philosophy
My counseling style is rooted in a trauma-informed approach, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also embrace a humanistic philosophy, focusing on viewing each person as a whole, understanding the various systems influencing their lives, and not just their mental health. This comprehensive approach ensures that your unique circumstances and background are considered throughout our work together.
