Kelly Dowell, MA, LMHCA

You may look like you have it all together — the job, the routine, the people who count on you — but inside, something feels off. You might be tired of managing everything in your head, craving a deeper sense of calm, connection, or purpose. Together, we can draw on cognitive tools to help make sense of your lived experience while tuning into the body’s wisdom to quiet the external noise.

I integrate evidence-based approaches such as CBT, Lifespan Integration, IFS parts work, and somatic techniques to help you slow down, notice what’s happening beneath the surface, and create lasting change. We’ll explore practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and trauma, while strengthening your ability to read your body’s subtle cues — the signals that tell you when you’re safe, grounded, and ready to grow.

Whether you’re a first responder processing the toll of your work, or an adult navigating burnout, relationships, or identity shifts, therapy offers a space to reconnect with your clarity, courage, and sense of self.

Above all, therapy is a collaborative process centered on you — a space to explore your inner world with empathy, curiosity, and safety.

Outside of the office, I enjoy outdoor adventures — climbing, swimming, and taking in the fresh Northwest air — as well as a good comedy show or game night with friends and loved ones, and a cup of coffee with a pastry alongside my pup at the local coffee shop.
