Getting to know Kelly Maher
Hello and welcome; I am so happy that you are here!
I recognize the effort it took to get here and I commend you. It’s not always easy to recognize or give voice to life’s difficulties, let alone seek assistance and support, and you have already done both.
I would describe my style as patient, understanding, caring, and compassionate. I am committed to creating a space that feels as safe and comfortable as possible. I believe in treating people with respect, sensitivity, and dignity, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. I am committed to showing up with compassion, respect, and without judgment. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to support and encourage you to access the wisdom, resources, and strengths that exist within you already.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of South Florida, which has provided a strong foundation for my clinical work.
Over the past 10 years, I have had the privilege of working with many people, especially young adults, adolescents, and teens with a wide range of concerns and challenges. For most of my career, I have worked in both residential and outpatient community mental health settings where I have helped individuals and families with issues including self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, adjusting to transitions and changes, managing anger, assertive communication skills, family conflict, and parenting problems. I truly enjoy working with adolescents, teens, and young adults and consider myself very sensitive to and respectful of their unique needs and challenges. I have also helped many who have experienced abuse, neglect, and other forms of trauma and traumatic stress.
In the past year, I have moved my practice from in-office sessions to electronic platforms and video sessions, allowing more flexibility and fewer barriers for the clients I serve. My goal is to provide comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to each individual's unique needs.
What should a new client know about working with you?
The first session is about getting to know each other, gathering information, discussing expectations, and starting to set some goals for treatment. At the end of the session I will also teach you a short grounding / deep breathing exercise. My hope is that you walk away from the first session with a deeper understanding of therapy, what you can expect from me and the therapeutic process, who I am and what I can offer you, a sense of whether this right fit for you, and one helpful technique you can take and use outside of sessions.
Moving forward I strive for a balance of processing and insight development as well as actionable tools and practices you can practice between sessions to continue the momentum moving you toward your goals.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
