Kelly Cooper-Pope
Are you struggling with life transitions, such as being a new mom or grieving the loss of loved one or relationship? Do you feel overwhelmed or stuck and cannot make a decision or step forward? I would like to support you in nurturing yourself and your dreams to reach that desired goal while navigating through these challenges. I work with mothers experiencing perinatal and postpartum anxiety and depression to strengthen their emotional well-being. Additionally, I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic abuse, relationship conflict, grief and loss, parenting challenges, life transitions, and supporting caregivers of aging parents.
First session
In the first session, we will get to know one another in a safe and nurturing space. Understanding that this is our first time meeting and maybe even your first time in therapy. I work with you at your own pace as we work toward building a trusting therapeutic relationship.
Strengths
I am warm, insightful and supportive. I take my client's culture and background into consideration when providing therapy and collaborating on treatment goals. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to process emotions and lived experiences. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches and interventions including faith integration (if desired). We can work toward meaningful growth and transformation.
Ideal clients
I support mothers and teen mothers experiencing perinatal and postpartum anxiety and depression to strengthen their emotional well-being, and navigate the transitions of motherhood. I also work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic abuse, relationship conflict, grief and loss, life transitions and juggling the demands of caregiving for aging parents. In addition, to providing support to mental health professionals working toward licensing hours and managing burnout.
Origin story
I have always been curious about human behavior and asked "why" as a child. I have a passion for helping individuals reach their full potential and developing emotional intelligence to regulate their emotions.
Ongoing work together
I provide a safe, nurturing, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered. Through a variety of therapeutic approaches, interventions and faith integration (if desired), we can work toward meaningful growth and transformation. I will collaborate with you on your treatment goals to reach your desired outcome. I will support you while you learn and practice new skills to improve your life and build resilience.
