Nicole Kennelly, MA

Professional Counselor Associate
Clinical Supervisor: DeLyn Griffin, MA, LMFT (OR#T3119), RPT™ (#T7301)

Currently accepting new clients. I work with individuals, couples, children 5+, and families.

I believe that growth is possible throughout every stage of life. The desire to do better for ourselves and the people we love is one of the best parts of being human. Engaging with your own story of "becoming" in therapy can help you gain the insight and skills you need for the change you want.

I work with individuals, couples, children, and families dealing with anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues, parenting, burnout, women's issues, and developing sexual health. I offer compassionate guidance to explore what lies beneath your challenges with curiosity and care.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical and tailored to you. I welcome all ways that bring change and connection, including Restoration Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Play Therapy. I incorporate the techniques of self-compassion and expressive art therapy as well as behavioral interventions to support lasting change.

I also bring lived experience as a creative professional for 20+ years, a partner in a long-term marriage, and a parent of three. Outside of being a therapy nerd, I enjoy playing tennis, reading (yes, audiobooks count!), noodling around on instruments, and being creative with my home, meals and family. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey!
