Lauren Kelly, LMFT

Lauren Kelly is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 26 years of clinical experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through a wide range of life challenges. She brings a family-focused lens to her work, believing that relationships and connection shape how people heal and grow, and this perspective informs her approach with both couples and individual clients.

Her practice emphasizes restoring broken relationships, processing grief and loss, and helping people recover from trauma. She often helps clients pursue greater life balance - working from where they are to help them move toward where they want to be. Colleagues and clients appreciate her authentic and nonjudgmental stance, along with a direct honesty and a light sense of humor that can ease difficult conversations.

Lauren has lived and worked in many regions of the United States, including California, Wisconsin, Utah, Arizona, Georgia, and Alaska - notably Barrow at the Top of the World - and she frequently travels in a small motorhome through the West and Southwest. Those life experiences contribute to a flexible, worldly approach to therapy and an appreciation for the variety of ways people find resilience. She draws on decades of experience to support clients facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and issues related to intimacy, parenting, career, and life transitions.
