Greetings, my name is Kelly Contreras and I am licensed clinical social worker based out of Texas. It is my true belief that mental health care should be accessible to all who seek it. I approach therapy with a client centered perspective and believe in each individual's potential for positive change despite past experiences. I provide a empathetic non-judgmental environment for clients. I believe a client's environment, culture, and systems play a role in overall functioning and well-being. Each client's situation is unique therefore we will work together to create a treatment plan that works best for you. I have extensive experience in treating PTSD, depression, anxiety, mood-disorders, ADD/ADHD, and youth affected by the criminal justice system. I invite you to reach out and take a step toward working collaboratively to identify your goals and achieve the healing you are seeking.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I specialize in trauma informed care and have experience working with all ages from 3 and up.
Children, Adolescents, and Adults. I am highly trained to work with children and families, as a veteran of the armed services I understand the unique needs of this population.
I pull from several modalities such as solution focused, person centered, sand tray, EMDR, play therapy, and dialectal behavioral therapy, depending on the needs of the client.
