Kelly Cipera
Therapy is an adventure of self-exploration and growth. At the heart we are exploring our identities, our relationships, our thoughts and our feelings. I am passionate about working with members of our armed forces and my unique training and personal experience helps me relate to the unique challenges our military families face. I love working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and I am an affirming therapist. I take an attachment approach to therapy, this means I believe that therapy only happens when the therapeutic relationship feels safe. Within sessions we will learn skills and learn about ourselves while trying to find the best possible version of you we can find. Sometimes that is managing or treating the symptoms and sometimes that's resolving challenging past experience. It is my intention that clients learn about their mental health, not just experience it. We will talk about neurobiology, attachment, cognitive traps we put ourselves in, communication and anything in between. I think with knowledge comes power, and when we understand our past and present experiences we can move to a healthier future. It is my greatest wish that clients leave sessions with hope, peace with who they are, and greater insight about themselves than when they arrived.
