About

My approach to treating OCD is holistic, open, and non-judgmental. It is based in cognitive behavioral therapy, using logic and rational thinking. I encourage members to practice mindfulness techniques and engage in exposure, not avoidance. Outside of work, I enjoy group fitness and exercising on my own. I also like to hike, cook, refurbish furniture, kayak, and entertain family and friends. A fun fact about me: I love to sing karaoke.

Get to know Melissa Kelly

To help people. The most gratifying part of my job is working with members and helping them find relief from their symptoms when they use the tools and coping skills provided in therapy.

I've seen a great deal of OCD in the people I work with and in family and friends. It's a debilitating disorder that can be treated, offering people relief and a better quality of life. I have a passion for helping people tolerate and work through their anxiety, instead of avoiding the symptoms. I've had good results in treating people with CBT and exposure therapy.

Anxiety, depression, disordered eating, couples and family therapy, mood disorders, and PTSD. I've found this is what most of my clients have struggled with. It's also where my interests are. So many people are dealing with these issues; I want to help them achieve a greater sense of peace and optimal mental health.

You can find relief from OCD. This model can help you if you're ready and willing to do the work you need to do. You'll become more comfortable with the process as treatment progresses.

I'd like you to tell me that you're afraid to share your thoughts. I'd like to have a discussion about why and how we can work through this.
