Kellie Grady M.A., LPC, LCMHCA Pronouns: She/Her
After receiving my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lenoir-Rhyne University in 2020 and becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor, I gained unique experience providing services to individuals experiencing hyperarousal dysfunction related symptoms (anxiety, PTSD, OCD) in private practice and immersed myself in continued education and training.
Throughout my practice I have learned the most effective approach is one that is personalized to meet the needs of each individual client. To honor the unique and genuine concerns each client presents, for EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), ACT informed ERP for OCD (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy informed Exposure and Response Prevention for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), Neurodivergence, Gender Affirming Care, Body Image and approaches to working with disordered eating, and other therapeutic approaches including Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Somatic and Attachment Therapy and Relational Therapy.
It is my goal to provide clients with an environment where they may fully be their authentic self, no matter how life has been recently.
In my clinical experience, I have found when people are given the opportunity to be heard, understood, and appreciated, healing often follows.
Life presents us with challenges of all types, and it is my privilege to help individuals develop awareness and skills to move through all that we face in life, so that the experience of life itself is something we can enjoy.
I provide services to adolescents, young adults, and adults seeking support for trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, body image concerns, LGBTQIA+ concerns, life transitions, career exploration, relationship concerns, grief and loss, and identity exploration.
Hi, I’m Kellie, and I really am so glad you’re here.
I became a therapist because I believe we all deserve a space we feel safe in. A space where we are heard and seen, a place to reflect, and curiously approach internal and external challenges. Relationships, life transitions, and big decisions can be can be some of the most thrilling yet terrifying experiences in life. My training and experience working with EMDR and ERP for OCD, has allowed me to better understand the complexity of our lived experiences, emotions, and responses. Through my practice I have developed an integrative approach, allowing simultaneous awareness and appreciation for how unique and nuanced our, memories, urges, and challenges can be. I would love to learn more about your life experience and hear how my clinical experience could make for a great therapeutic fit.
Imbue - verb: inspire or permeate with (a feeling or quality).
To fill something or someone with a particular feeling, quality, or idea.
Therapy Imbued has been something I’ve felt for years, but couldn’t quite put a name to. I have had the privilege of meeting with so many wonderful humans over the years, from clients to other therapists and even my own therapist.
If you’ve been in a therapeutic space, with a therapist who is a great fit, you know the quality this can bring to your life. In the space, you’re able to nonjudgementally and curiously explore parts of life, feelings, and experiences in a way that bring about new ideas, juxtaposed concepts, and sometimes even an entirely new conceptualization of existing in life.
No matter what the space brings, it’s always dependent on you, and what you want to inspire or fill your life with, which for a lot of people, is the best part.
Therapy Imbued isn’t just a practice; it’s an opportunity, a space, or a moment in which each individual is able to find qualities, feelings, or ideas they can fill their lives with. Whether you’re hoping to find applicable approaches to boundary setting in relationships, or ways to approach compassion towards yourself, we can find a way towards what you determine to be a better quality of life and even better feelings existing in it.
