Most of the time, most of us, are just doing the best we can. When we get stuck, it’s due not to inability, rather lack of experience or knowledge. Sometimes we just need to be heard and feel understood. Sometimes, we need to add more skills to our toolbox or see things from a different perspective. Throughout the years of my experience in hospitals and private practice, many advances have been made in the field of psychology. We understand so much more about how our brains work! We’ve developed new techniques and refined old ones to help rewrite new neural pathways, change negative thinking habits and heal emotional trauma. I try to approach each client with total acceptance of where you are and who you are right now. As we explore the issues you are dealing with, I hope to be able to teach you some new, highly effective ways to feel more in control of your emotions, reactions and your life. I use a compassionate, multifaceted approach of cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, EFT and even exercise to empower you to help yourself. I look forward to joining you on your life’s journey. You can do this!!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida. I studied at Florida Atlantic University where I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology (2011), and Masters degree in Social Work (2014) specializing in practice with Adults and Families. During my education I completed my internships in a Crisis Stabilization Unit (Baker Act Facility) and in a college counseling center. Since then I have continued my career as a Therapist working for a community mental health agency working with client's of all ages with diverse backgrounds. I have also volunteered at an LGBT resource center where I functioned as a peer counselor and researcher for healthcare disparities in the LGBT community. Additionally I have developed and facilitated LGBT safe zone trainings to improve support in the community. My approach to treatment is focused treating clients as real people who deserve a therapeutic relationship that is honest, validates their feelings and experiences, and challenges them to change. My counseling style is a more laid back, and I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor, and able to "be real" with clients. I employ education as a tool alongside cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, trauma informed care, and mindfulness skills to help my clients identify and reach their goals.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you and briefly explain the therapeutic process. My name is Gale Kelley and I am a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.), in Clinical Psychology and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. Over the past sixteen years I have provided individual, family, and group psychotherapy to people of all ages and backgrounds who find themselves faced with a variety of mental health concerns. From a client-centered perspective, I believe that we all possess the strengths needed to attain and maintain good mental health and wellbeing, which sometimes requires that we reach out to others. My therapeutic approach is holistic/integrative which emphasizes the mind body connection while incorporating various elements of different theories. Traditional evidence-based therapeutic protocols such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy stresses how people can change negative thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviors so they can enjoy a less stressful and more productive lifestyle. I am particularly drawn to psychoeducation to help my clients better understand human behavior and the therapeutic process. My philosophy is that the more we know, the better we understand, and the better we understand, the more likely we are to engage. I utilize a variety of evidence-based assessment instruments that will help me target areas that may be impacting mental health and/or daily functioning. These typically involve a series of questions that you will answer during our first meeting. Then we’ll make a list of goals that you would like to accomplish during our work together. I wholeheartedly encourage a collaborative working relationship and will frequently monitor the progress throughout the therapeutic process. My clients can expect to have a take-away (something that will improve your current situation) from every session. This can be a new perspective of an ongoing problem or an emotional regulation skill that will help you better manage situations you cannot change. I pride myself on providing personalized, comprehensive health care that will focus on wellness and prevention.

Hello: I was born and raised in Florida, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I have provided mental health assessment, treatment, and consultation services as a clinical psychologist for 22 years so far. Prior to that, I practiced with a Master's degree for 10 years. So, I have enjoyed working with people to help them improve their mental health and overall functioning for more than 30 years. As far as my education, I received a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Florida, a Master's degree in Community Counseling from Georgia State Univeristy, a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology and a Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from the Florida Institute of Technology. Life can be hard, very hard sometimes. It is fortunate if you have someone who is a well-trained, compassionate professional available to help navigate, make sense of, and overcome those seemingly overwhelming situations life throws at us. Gaining a sense of mastery and peace of mind are two common goals we all share, and psychotherapy is an effective way to achieve them. Those more than 30 years of professional training and experience are in addition to the inherent enhancement of insight which comes through experiencing 58 years of life on this planet. Engaging in psychotherapy is all about change....change for the better. Addressing client goals for change is a primary aspect of each patient's treatment plan. An ideal outcome from receiving mental health services is to experience your life in a new way via a fresh perspective armed with previously unknown insights and knowledge about yourself and your life now made available to you. This new and deeper understanding of our internal selves, our close relationships, as well as others in general, can be achieved through the psychotherapy healing process. You would not be here if you weren't seeking healing and change in your life for the better. I look forward to working with you to help significantly improve your overall mental health, mood, motivation, relationships, self-esteem, daily functioning, and sense of well-being.
