Kelly Rau, Therapist

Starting now, you can begin a brand new journey toward a more positive path for yourself – one that’s filled with growth, well being, acceptance, and empowerment. Those aren’t just buzzwords or some kind of unattainable dream – you can start down that path today.

My goal as a therapist is to find solutions that work for you on an individual basis, helping you to discover the true potential of your life, so everyday can be a celebration, and feel like a real ‘breath of fresh air.’ There may be no magic button or quick-fix solution when it comes to changing things from the past that have been difficult, but what we can do is work together to find comfort and resolve in the difficult areas of your life, and the challenges you have to face. Through various techniques and long-standing approaches with proven results, we’ll be able to figure out what behaviors and/or thoughts might be holding you back from living your best life, and finding meaning in everyday situations.

Whether you’re looking for support or guidance through a particularly difficult time, or you’re open to a real change in your life and where you’re going, together, we can work to achieve dreams, and meet your goals.

There is no ‘perfect person’ for this type of therapy. Anyone dealing with any type of behavioral or emotional issues, from depression to couple’s counseling, and everything in between, is welcome. You can rest assured that you will be in a comfortable, supportive, and encouraging environment, where the focus will be on you alone – there is no ‘cookie cutter’ way of doing things here, and your individual needs to achieve growth are the top priority.

Life is complicated and navigating our way through it can often leave us feeling overwhelmed. Do you struggle with low self-esteem? Are you having trouble getting motivated?

The first thing you need to know is this: It’s okay that you are where you are. We all face challenges that can be difficult to handle. What matters most is where you go from here.

In my office, you’ll find a compassionate space where we can deepen your awareness of yourself and your unique constellation of experiences, relationships, and goals. My work highlights your strengths and provides structure to ensure continued success. My specialties include relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and teens dealing with self-harming and risky behavior.
