Hi, I’m Kelly van dolson

I have had the privilege of working with a diverse population of patients from all walks of life since starting my career as a clinical social worker in 2012. Over the past several years I have found my true passion in working with people through the challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, infertility, grief/loss, gender exploration and transition, and relationship conflict. I have a diverse training background that includes perinatal mental health, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, mindfulness, and responsive/authoritative parenting.

You deserve help and support to navigate life’s toughest and most beautiful moments. Please reach out to see if we are a good fit to help meet your goals and work toward lives full of meaning, enjoyment and satisfaction. I can’t wait to meet you!

I believe in a strengths-based but realistic approach to improve your life in the here and now. My goal is for you to leave our sessions with actionable steps you can use to help us learn more about what does and does not work for you so we can continuously improve our work together.
