Counseling can be a responsive process, as clients receive support and work toward an understanding of how present-day concerns may relate to past experiences. It can also be a preventive process, allowing clients to clarify and build on their own internal strengths that promote balance, wellness, and resiliency. My treatment approach is both cognitive-behavioral (focused on the links between events, thoughts, feelings, and actions) and psychoeducational (promoting the building of social and emotional skills). From a foundation of self awareness, we can collaborate to expand your coping strategies and improve your relationships.

With almost 30 years of experience, I help clients work through depression, anxiety, trauma, interpersonal struggles, life transitions, and personal growth and development while supporting them on their journey to live a more balanced life.

We work together on reinterpreting, challenging, and learning new skills to move forward toward their most adaptive futures.

As a clinical psychologist, I can help you with relationship difficulties, managing important life transitions, minimizing depression and anxiety, and managing stress.

I believe in the importance of relationships; the relationship you have with yourself and your relationship with others. I work with couples to improve communication, emotional/sexual intimacy, learn love languages, rebuild respect and trust, and adjust to parenthood. I work alongside individuals who are on their journey to strengthen their emotional well being, lessen anxiety, obtain insight into triggers/behaviors and unlearn old ways of thinking with new ways of being. I help individuals and couples navigate the emotions and adjustments to life transitions, such as a child, grief and loss, careers, and relationships.

Adulting can be tough. Neurodivergence, anxiety & depression, and the ongoing state of the world can make day-to-day functioning feel overwhelming and exhausting. As a therapist I specialize in working with adults with ADHD, autism, and anxiety to identify their own personal values and take steps towards crafting a life that meets their needs. Using aspects of CBT, ACT and mindfulness-based practices I can help you to build on your strengths to overcome challenges with executive dysfunction and emotional regulation in order to live the life you want.

As someone who is LGBTQIA+ and grew up in a conservative community, I know how living inauthentically can impact you. Pleasing others at the expense of yourself can have some challenging and long-term consequences. What starts as suppressing your emotions ends up as ongoing depression and anxiety as you continually make choices to minimize conflict rather than truly meet your own needs. While the path forward can feel confusing, there is hope for finding a sense of clarity and relief, and awakening to a life that you genuinely want to engage with and thrive in.

Hi there! What a gift to yourself to seek support! Whether you are struggling with relationships, trauma, stress, parenting, postpartum, and more, I welcome you on this journey to feeling more grounded, connected to self, freer, and fulfilled. We are all part of a larger system in which we influence and are influenced by internal and external worlds. As humans, it is our life's work to find a balance between being a separate self and maintaining connection with others. I will work with you to process through your struggles within the context of your larger system and to implement lasting changes to prevent struggles from repeating.

Hello! My name is Brittany Denby, LMSW. If you or your child are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA, depression, anxiety, and/or ADHD, I would love to help you work through and past these struggles. I have worked with children, adolescents, teens and young adults in my previous jobs and helping them see the impact their past has had on them and helping them get through that to be their best selves is my favorite part about this field. I do my best to create a comfortable and open setting for my clients.

Life gets really hard these days. There is so much stress and there are so many expectations to deal with. From having perfect children to being the perfect parent, some days it is all too much. And it feels impossible. The weight of our own guilt, anxiety, or depression that stems from not feeling adequate, or from family difficulties can leave us drained. As a parent and an LMHC with years of experience working with children and adults with any number of behavioral or mental health needs, believe me, I get it. I can help you thrive.

The biggest compliment clients have given me is: "Kelly, you're not a typical therapist and that is so refreshing!" I am somewhat unique in my approach offering a combination of coaching, motivating, problem-solving, and goal formation. I tend to see myself as a guide (or passenger) while the client takes the driver's seat – together, we look at the map and find the most productive route to take towards the destination. I tend to have a lot of energy and am extremely active in and out of the therapy session.
