LPC, 5 years of experience
“I’m Kellie Walker, LPC. I help people who feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or self-doubt and are tired of putting everyone else’s needs ahead of their own. Together, we do the deep work of unlearning people-pleasing, building guilt-free boundaries, and reclaiming the parts of yourself you’ve given up just to keep the peace. Clients often say, "I don’t have to explain everything to you, you just get it." I bring both clinical tools and real-world understanding into every session, showing up with honesty, empathy, and accountability to help you feel like yourself again.”
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. My approach blends trauma-informed care with practical tools from DBT, CBT, and somatic strategies. I tailor therapy 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, strategies, and support that doesn’t ask you to perform. My clients appreciate my authenticity and my willingness to hold them accountable when it matters. I believe therapy works best when we look honestly at how our actions shape our lives. We can’t change the trauma or pain we’ve endured, but we can change what happens moving forward.
I work best with people who are insightful, emotionally drained, and tired of repeating the same patterns in relationships, work, or family dynamics. My clients often feel stuck between who they are and who they’ve had to be for others. If you’re ready to explore what’s holding you back, and want someone who won’t hand you cookie-cutter advice, you’re in the right place. I support people navigating trauma, burnout, identity stress, anxiety, and codependency. If you’ve been the “strong friend” for too long, it’s time to finally be supported. Together we’ll get to the root of what’s been weighing you down. Therapy with me isn’t passive. It’s not me sitting across from you with all the answers, handing out advice, or filling the silence while you do nothing. Therapy is a collaborative process: you bring your thoughts, feelings, and goals, and I bring tools, strategies, and support. Together we make meaning, uncover patterns, and move toward the changes you want.
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.
