Getting to know Kelley Whittaker

Hi there, I'm Kelley! I am Kelley Whittaker, a licensed professional counselor in Connecticut, Florida, and Idaho, and a certified school psychologist. I hold a Master's in Psychology from Fairfield University. I am a Gestalt Psychotherapist, Trauma-Informed Coach, and Narcissist Recovery Specialist. My intention is to create a container of safety, appreciation, connection, and support. My approach My style balances compassion with heartfelt directness. My therapeutic approach is based in Gestalt body-centered psychotherapy embracing mind-body-spirit integration. I help clients bring awareness to the bonding and attachment experienced as children within their family systems, which shaped their narratives, limiting beliefs, and divided their true Self into parts. We carry wounded parts into present life, causing dysfunctional relationships and destructive patterns-until we realize old abusive patterns no longer serve us. I am trained in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Compassionate Communication, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Emotional Freedom Technique, positive psychology, shadow work, somatic bodywork, and attachment theory. I integrate multiple modalities to create a meaningful, powerful humanistic experience. My focus I work with teenagers, adults, and couples facing challenges related to life stressors, loss, transition, trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, personality disorders, mood dysregulation, anger management, grief, and relationship issues. My communication style In every session, I aim to create safety, appreciation, connection, and support. Clients experience a balance of compassion with heartfelt directness as they feel seen, heard, and understood. My journey to mental healthcare I began as a school psychologist; however, the death of my parents and many toxic relationships shaped my path toward deeper healing and mental health work.
