Kelly Ebels

I enjoy working with clients of all ages experiencing a range of mental and behavioral health concerns, including anxiety, depression, traumatic stress, behavioral problems, relationship problems, grief and loss, and abuse. Especially during this time of uncertainty, I am here to help you find ways to cope, alleviate symptoms that get in the way, and experience healthy and more satisfying connections. I work with clients collaboratively to explore emotional patterns, interpersonal relationships, and how past experiences inform the present to help clients achieve their goals. I will also incorporate education and skill building to help expand tolerance for emotional experiences, increase understanding, and reinforce new ways of being and relating. I draw on neurobiology research, attachment theory, and object relations theory to guide my work with clients. I may use techniques incorporating CBT, DBT, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness, along with psychoeducation to provide clients with skills, tools, and insights. When working with children, I will incorporate play therapy techniques.
