Shijuan Kelly, LMSW
About me
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, trauma, anger, low self esteem, grief, rejection, abandonment, and loneliness.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe each person has worth and should be treated respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I believe truth brings about healing. I believe in partnering with people to help mend the broken pieces. I enjoy working with teens and adults. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, strengths based, and bibliotherapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Shijuan has been so great! She is very supportive, but also great at asking me deeper questions and challenging my thinking patterns. She has helped me to reevaluate certain beliefs and I come away from my sessions feeling positive. Would definitely recommend working with her.

Shijuan has given me alot to think about and work on when not in her session which I appreciate. She has a very positive upbeat demeanor and exudes this positivity which already makes you feel calm while you are in crisis and makes you feel like you can handle anything.
