Kelly Jude
Hi, I'm an extensively trained clinician with regard to trauma (PE, EMDR, CPT, TfCBT, and DBT) and mood disorders. I am heavily focused on social and racial justice as well. Unconditional, genuine acceptance is my calling card. So, the main question: what do you have to GAIN, not lose? Right?. Being real: therapy takes courage. Equally as real, therapy brings results. I have had the privilege of supporting numerous people find their way from pain and suffering to growth and hope. Radical change and healing is VERY possible, I promise. Let's talk... I am well-versed in clinically proven interventions that expedite your healing. I focus on practical solutions that match your comfort and pace. I find one of the major topics in care is personal empowerment. My goal is always to help your sense of self and authenticity grow. I specialize in topics and disorders related to identity and trauma. Life is hard. I have yet to meet anyone who hasn't benefited from therapy. If you're perusing profiles, just go ahead a commit. You are so very worth it.

Ideal clients
I match well with the misunderstood, misinterpreted and 'Black Sheeps'. I connect well with people who: want to find their identity, want acceptance, come from humble financial beginnings/first generation graduates, people who want practical coping skills, and people with family backgrounds rooted in violence and/or neglect. I also have a degree in religion and support spiritual struggles well.
