Kelly Loy

Kelly's practice focuses on individuals, couples, and families recovering and growing from experiences of grief, trauma, and crisis, particularly early childhood sexual abuse and violence. She believes that IFS therapy is particularly helpful if clients have learned coping skills or tried other therapeutic approaches, only to feel overwhelmed with familiar struggles and emotional pain when their relationships or other life events don't go quite right. Kelly's approach is centered around the idea that healing is possible through having the intention and courage to face and understand one's own life story, welcoming all the different parts of oneself, and trusting that at one's core is one's true Self, which is not damaged, broken, or unlovable. She uses the IFS process to help clients unlock the wisdom and healing they already hold inside themselves. Kelly is a certified IFS therapist and has completed the highest level of IFS training. She is also a licensed clinical professional counselor, licensed marriage and family therapist, nationally certified counselor, registered nurse, and certified Adlerian therapist.
