“Working with Kelley has been a very supportive experience for my teen daughter who was at first against the therapy. Kelley’s approach to my daughter made her realize seeing her can be beneficial and helpful. She is an exceptional listener who pays close attention to what you're going through, making you feel completely heard from day one. Instead of just offering generic advice, she guides you through your challenges and equips you with practical tools to work through issues at your own pace. I’m so grateful for her support and highly recommend her.”

“When I first considered therapy, I was very hesitant and unsure if it was something I wanted to do. I’m so glad I decided to give it a chance. From the beginning, Kellye made me feel comfortable, heard, and never judged. I’m extremely grateful for the support and guidance I’ve received and I would absolutely recommend Kellye for anything looking to start therapy. ”

Getting to know Kellye Stefanski-Wett
I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as your whole self—without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that you have everything figured out. I work with adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-esteem, relationship concerns, trauma, life transitions, ADHD, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and genuine. I want you to feel heard and understood while also being thoughtfully challenged when it can help you move forward. Together, we’ll explore the experiences, patterns, and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical strategies that you can use in your everyday life.
I integrate humanistic, trauma-informed, CBT, ACT, attachment-based, strengths-based, mindfulness, Adlerian, and solution-focused approaches based on your individual needs. I don't believe therapy should be one-size-fits-all. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build confidence and self-trust, develop healthier boundaries and relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, but you don't have to know exactly what you need before you begin. We can figure that out together.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You can simply show up as you are.
I strive to create a space that feels warm, safe, genuine, and judgment-free while still helping you look honestly at the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and will gently challenge you when it can help you grow.
My goal isn't just for you to feel better in the moment. I want you to better understand yourself, build confidence and self-trust, strengthen your boundaries and relationships, and develop practical tools you can actually use in your everyday life.
Therapy is a collaborative process, and we'll adjust our work to fit you. You don't need to know exactly what you need or have the right words when you walk through the door. We can figure it out together.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first sessions are focused on getting to know you, understanding what brought you to therapy, and identifying what you would like to feel or experience differently. We’ll talk about your current concerns, relevant experiences and patterns, strengths, and goals so we can develop a direction for our work together.
From there, we’ll create a flexible treatment plan based on what you need. Sessions may include exploring patterns and past experiences, managing anxiety and difficult emotions, challenging unhelpful thought patterns, strengthening boundaries and relationships, building self-esteem, or developing practical coping strategies.
I believe therapy should be collaborative, so I’ll regularly check in with you about what is and isn’t helpful and adjust our approach as we go. My goal is for you to leave therapy with greater self-understanding and practical tools you can actually use between sessions.
There is no expectation that you have everything figured out when you begin. We’ll start where you are and work from there.

From our very first session, I felt genuinely heard, understood, and accepted for who I am. She has created a warm, safe space where I can be honest without feeling judged, while also gently encouraging me to see things in new ways.
She has helped me work through challenges I didn’t even realize were affecting me and has given me practical tools that have made a real difference in my everyday life. What I appreciate most is how compassionate, thoughtful, and down-to-earth she is. I never feel like I’m being told what I should do. Instead, she listens, asks the right questions, and helps me better understand myself.

I was so nervous to start therapy, but Kellye made me feel comfortable from the start. She has a way about her that always remains neutral and unbiased that also provides validation and perspective. When I started seeing Kellye, I lost someone very close to me and wasn’t in the best place. Kellye offered me a safe place to land when things got to be too big or without too overwhelming to handle on my own. She’s an amazing therapist. She won’t just tell you what you wanna hear.. it’s that she genuinely wants to help people and that her clients and their growth, setbacks, and successes are truly at the heart of what she does.

Kellye has been absolutely wonderful for me and the relationship I have with my family. Opening up about what my true struggles and worries are has always been hard but she made me feel safe and comfortable nearly the first time we met. She encourages me to face my struggles and works through them with me. I highly recommend Kellye!

I’ve been working with Kellye for a few months now and she has been beyond helpful. Going into the appointment I know that, no matter the circumstances, I have a welcoming, understanding, judgement-free zone to get the help I need. I truly could not recommend her enough!

The best therapist hands down. I have gone to therapy for years but this is the first time I feel like I have truly gotten over huge humps in my life. Kellye helps me approach situations through a new lens and pats me on the back through all the good and bad times. She is great at scheduling and can always squeeze me in for extra appointments if needed. I can’t recommend her enough and hope that she gets to share her skills with everyone :)

Kellye has been a pleasure to work with. She’s attentive without being overbearing, warm without coddling, and gives me actionable advice rather than just platitudes when I feel like I’m struggling with managing my emotions. She is an excellent practitioner that I’ve now followed between practices and will do that as many times as is needed because I like her that much!

Kellye has helped me tremendously with navigating the changes in my relationships and personal life as well as changes in my career over the past year. She understands my needs, let's me just talk through issues, and gives me the space I need to get things out in the open. She has given me tools that I use in my everyday life and provides unbiased view points when I am struggling to see from a different perspective. She is down to earth and lets me be my authentic self. As my views on life changes, she has not only supported me but changed the way we conduct our sessions to better fit my changing values and beliefs. Knowing I have Kellye in my corner to help me continue to navigate the changes in my life, makes the change a little bit easier.
