“I firmly believe we are all innately capable of helping ourselves. Sometimes we just need a little extra help moving through the tough stuff.” - Kristin Kelly, LMHC

Hi there, I am so happy to meet you!

My name is Kristin Kelly, LCMHC, LMHC (she/her), I’m so happy you’re here! I am a licensed psychotherapist in North Carolina and New York. As the owner of Tranquility Counseling + Wellness, I specialize in working with millennial women and LGTBQIA+ persons wanting to break through emotional damage from trauma and reclaim their authenticity.

My practice as a therapist is rooted in holistic principles and the belief that we are more than the sum of our parts: we are whole human beings influenced by every aspect of our selves. That which we experience during childhood, the relationships we create, the perspectives we develop and spiritual beliefs with which we align all play a significant role in our functioning as adults. All aspects of our being impact our overall health. Yoga-based principles are central to my work, in addition to other integrative tools that can be helpful with processing emotions, trauma and learning healthy new ways of coping.

The most important factor when it comes to counseling is the relationship you have with your therapist. Finding the right therapist for you is essential to your journey through therapy. My role is to provide a calm, safe space where you feel comfortable expressing everything on your heart. As your guide, I can help you work through current and past struggles that may be preventing you from living the life you want. With compassion and understanding, I invite you to begin your journey toward a full and meaningful life!
