Kelly Meissner, LMFT

Kelly Meissner is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience who has supported thousands of people through a wide range of life challenges. She works best with individuals who are committed to personal growth, want to deepen their self-awareness, and who find strength in a belief in a higher power to help guide their process.

Kelly’s approach emphasizes that people are more than their thoughts and emotions. She guides others to develop practical self-awareness by learning to recognize and understand their thinking patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors. Drawing on principles from positive psychology, her work blends insight-oriented practices with evidence-informed techniques to foster sustainable change.

Her clinical toolkit includes hypnotherapy, the Enneagram, inner child and parts work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused methods, and existential approaches. Kelly places particular value on mindfulness, meditation, and hypnosis as ways to access deeper layers of experience that talk therapy alone may not reach. She became a Certified Hypnotherapist through the National Guild of Hypnotists in 2016, has completed extensive clinical hypnosis training with the Minnesota Society of Clinical Hypnosis, and has more than 200 hours of education in various hypnosis methods.

Kelly integrates hypnotherapy into her mental health work to address unconscious blocks and repeating patterns that interfere with well-being. She reports observing meaningful shifts in people who had not achieved desired change through talk therapy alone. For more information about her hypnotherapy work, visit www.hypnotherapywithkelly.com.
