Kelly Powell

Creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard is at the heart of Kelly Powell's therapeutic approach. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT99853), Kelly specializes in helping professionals and adolescents navigate the complexities of stress, anxiety, relationships, work/life balance, self-esteem issues, challenging childhoods, and depression.

Kelly's collaborative and client-directed style allows her to tailor her approach to each individual's unique needs. She draws from a diverse toolkit of techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based practices. This integrative approach empowers clients to find solutions, gain understanding, and discover meaning in their personal journeys while developing a deeper self-awareness.

With a strong educational foundation, including a B.A. in Child and Adolescent Development from San Francisco State University and an M.A. in Psychology from the University of San Francisco, Kelly brings both theoretical knowledge and practical experience to her practice. She offers 50-minute sessions at convenient locations in San Francisco's Financial District and Nob Hill, ensuring accessibility for her clients.

Kelly's passion for therapy stems from her belief in the transformative power of self-discovery and personal growth. She considers it a privilege to support others in bringing greater meaning and enjoyment to their lives. Her goal is to help clients build on their strengths, overcome current challenges, and ultimately become their truest, most authentic selves.

Outside of her professional life, Kelly enjoys hiking, spending time outdoors, and baking – activities that contribute to her own work-life balance and inform her holistic approach to mental health. Her affiliations with the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists and the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists underscore her commitment to ongoing professional development and adherence to the highest standards of practice.
