Getting to know Kelly Drake

I have 30 years of experience understanding the thread of developmental trauma. I work to connect this thread, undo the way it started, and re-thread the needle. These threads include life events, genetics, environment, and system interactions that cause mental and physical diagnoses. I offer understanding with solutions for a new path. My approach I hope to offer a foundational commitment to how trauma impacts daily life, and make a change rather than living in survival mode. As the daughter of a Vietnam Veteran, I came to understand developmental trauma in my personal life, my social work career with children, and eventually as a Soldier. Currently, a Veteran myself, I have come full circle. My focus My years of experience and evidence-based practice support individuals, couples, and families impacted by traumatic interactions within relationships and systems. During initial sessions, goals for treatment will be established based on collaborative efforts. I work to connect clients on how to look backwards in order to move forward. My communication style Theodor Reik describes how to listen with the third ear, and this is what I practice. My clients are more expert about themselves. I enjoy being down to earth and sharing humor during sessions. I strive to support clients in finding how and when they got lost, rather than looking for a problem, and believe the relationship is the path to change. My journey to mental healthcare I am a daughter of a Vietnam Veteran. I completed a BS in Psychology and an MSW in Social Work. I counseled children with trauma in diverse settings for over 15 years. With honor for my father and country joined the Army at 37, counseled Soldiers with trauma for 9 years. I continue to serve in the Army Reserves and work to give more than just survival. My goals for you Treatment goals focus on what clients present as wanting to change, and are not what I believe needs to change.
