She is knowledgable and will be the first to challenge your thought process while lifting you up in ways you didn't know you needed. She also has a great sense of humor that can help break the ice any time you're struggling with big emotions. I cannot recommend her enough!”

Getting to know Kelly Valk
Hello! I'm Kelly!
Do you feel your past life experiences weigh you down like an anchor, making it hard to "be normal"? Are these memories flooding your day-to-day experiences, preventing you from feeling joy and living in the here and now? Is it challenging to see the real you and believe in your worth?
I help both adults and children who have experienced traumatic events and who are struggling with low self-worth to reclaim their lives and discover that what happened to them does not define them. Together, we will take the journey to identify the true you so you can have healthy connections with others and, most importantly, yourself!
Whether you or your child are struggling with healthy relationships, anxiety, flashbacks, inappropriate behaviors, connecting with your child, or simply life's ups and downs, I'm here to help. Reaching out for help when others have let you down can feel overwhelming and scary, but you are making the right choice! You deserve a safe and healthy space to heal and grow. During our time together, you will be met with compassion, empathy, and evidence-based techniques to help you achieve your therapeutic goals.
I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Springfield College, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively.
What do you say? Let's begin this journey together!
What should a new client know about working with you?
After our first session together, we will dive into the journey of healing and establishing healthy connections with others and yourself. There will be ups and downs during this process and you may want to retreat to your old habits as they are what you know and are comforting even if they may be unhealthy; however, I am here to help guide you through this to replacing those with healthier ones to set you up for success.
