Welcome! My name is Kelly and I am a licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado, and a licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York. I have over 10 years experience working in the mental health field, and about 8 years of experience doing individual therapy. I went to college at the University at Buffalo, and then graduate school at Hofstra University. I have experience working in a variety of mental health settings, and I am well-versed in virtual teletherapy. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and complex trauma, as well as relationship/family issues, grief and loss, stress, and periods of transition.
During sessions with me, you can expect warmth and support, compassion and understanding. It is my job to help understand your goals for therapy and to assist you in achieving them. My approach to counseling will be tailored to each individual based on their specific needs. I know it can be difficult to ask for help, so I will assist you in a non-judgmental way and hope to help you overcome barriers to achieve your goals. I look forward to working with you.

Kelly checks in on me if I haven't responded in a while and makes me think about what I've sent from a third party perspective. I love talking to her!

I have been dealing with Kelly Owens for almost 5 months. She makes me feel heard for possibly the first time in my life. She is kind, respectful, incredibly insightful, and she offers many suggestions to help me help myself. I couldn't ask for a more compassionate, intelligent, and patient therapist. I still have a lot of work to do, but Kelly has helped me so much in such a short amount of time. I am very grateful to her.

I've had many therapists in my lifetime and Kelly is the most skilled therapist I have worked with. She is able to clearly restate my concerns, ask me insightful questions, and give me actionable advice. Looking forward to our continued work together!

I haven't been with Kelly long, but WOW she is wonderful. In the short time ive been working with her she's helped me in many ways. I was very nervous about therapy, and thought i wouldn't be able to open up. But Kelly makes it feel like a true conversation, she makes me feel heard and like I matter and I appreciate that. She has made it easy for me to open up.
