About

Hi, my name is Kelli Washington. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist, practicing in both California and Utah. I work with teens and young adults; navigating everyday difficulties, relationships, life transitions, and how to implement healthy practices into their daily lives. My approach In my therapy practice, I utilize a client-centered approach; it is important for me to meet the client where they are. Typically this will also include cognitive-behavioral techniques to better understand and navigate difficult situations. My focus I work primarily with teens and young adults; navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, family difficulties, school, work, unhealthy thought patterns, goal-setting, life transitions, and self-esteem. My communication style It is important for me to create a safe, comfortable space for my clients. I typically utilize a more non-traditional approach; allowing my clients to be themselves. The environment is not particularly formal and I like to meet the client where they are. My first session with you The first session is important to build rapport and for me to better understand a client's needs; anything a client feels will be helpful for me to know, they should feel comfortable sharing. I may ask a variety of questions but the client is also welcome to steer the session towards what they are specifically in need of.
