LPC, 5 years of experience
I’m Kellie Walker, LPC, and I help people who feel stuck in cycles of self-doubt, anxiety, or low self-esteem, especially during big life transitions. Many of my clients come to me because they’re tired of people-pleasing, second-guessing themselves, or giving up parts of who they are just to keep the peace. In our work together, we slow things down, untangle old patterns, and build new ways of showing up with confidence and balance. Clients often tell me, ‘You just get it.’ I bring both clinical skills and real-world understanding, showing up with honesty, empathy, and accountability. Therapy with me is collaborative. You bring your goals, reflections, and voice, and I’ll bring tools, strategies, and direct feedback. If you’re only here because someone told you to be, or you’re not sure what you want to work on, this may not feel like the right fit. If I’m talking more than you are, something’s gone wrong because this is *your* space to be heard. Therapy is the place to explore what matters most to you, and I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way. You deserve the peace you are searching for.
Our first session is about getting real, not rushing. I want to understand what brought you here, what you’re hoping for, and what hasn’t worked before. You don’t need to say things perfectly, I’ll help you sort through the noise and figure out where to start. From the beginning, I welcome your feedback, because this space is yours. We’ll move at your pace, not mine. Most importantly, you can be yourself. Don’t worry about “saying the right thing” or filtering your words, there’s no need to pretend here.
I’m direct, affirming, and real. I’m not afraid to name the patterns that keep you stuck, but I do it with compassion and respect. My approach blends trauma-informed care with practical tools from DBT, CBT, and somatic strategies, always tailored to who you are, not just a diagnosis. Clients often say they feel safe being messy with me. I create space for you to say the hard things and still feel seen. You’ll leave sessions with clarity, practical strategies, and support that never asks you to perform or hide who you are. My clients value my authenticity and my willingness to hold them accountable when it matters. I believe therapy works best when we look honestly at how our choices and patterns shape our lives. We can’t erase the trauma or pain you’ve endured, but together we can change what happens moving forward.
I work best with people who are carrying deeper struggles, whether that’s trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, or the exhaustion of always being the ‘strong one.’ My clients are often insightful and self-aware, but drained from repeating the same cycles in relationships, family dynamics, or work. They’re ready to go beyond surface fixes and do the real work of healing at the root. If that sounds like you, therapy with me offers more than quick advice. It’s a collaborative space where you can finally set down the weight you’ve been carrying. I bring tools, strategies, and honest feedback, and I ask my clients to bring their voice, reflections, and goals. Together, we’ll uncover patterns, make sense of what’s been holding you back, and move toward lasting change.
DBT is about finding balance and learning how to hold two truths at once, like “I’m doing my best” and “I can still grow.” I use DBT skills to help you regulate emotions, set boundaries, and strengthen relationships, while keeping you accountable to the changes you want to see in your life.
CBT helps connect the dots between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. I’ll guide you in challenging unhelpful patterns, but I’ll also encourage you to take ownership of practicing new ways of thinking and responding so you can feel more grounded and in control day-to-day.

I feel like I can be myself and say things how I want. She gives feedback in a helpful and respectful manner. I enjoy my sessions even if they are not the most comfortable. She validates my feelings but will also be real with me when needed. Kellie is the best!

Kellie tells it like it is. She believes in your ability and wants you to believe in your ability. She is solution-oriented, but doesn't bullsh*t about you needing to put in the work. The way she integrates no-nonsense (in the sense that she shuts down I can't statements based on feelings and not facts) with humor and levity and empowerment works wonders to make you feel like things can get better. She's incredible at this ish.
