Hello! I am...
... Kelly Decker, a dedicated therapist specializing in working with young children and adolescents, though I also have extensive experience with the adult population. With a deep commitment to fostering growth and resilience, I utilize various therapeutic techniques and theories tailored to meet each client’s unique needs. My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing on my training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and theraplay techniques. I work with individuals facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, relationship issues, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). I am particularly passionate about supporting teens through the unique pressures and transitions of adolescence. My practice is grounded in empathy and collaboration. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can feel comfortable expressing themselves. By tailoring my therapeutic methods to each client, I aim to help them develop coping strategies, build resilience, and achieve personal growth.
