About Kimberly Kelley, LCSW
Hello, I'm Kim, and I'm so glad you're here. I am a dually licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addiction Specialist, with a deep passion for helping individuals navigate their unique journeys inward toward healing and self-discovery. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Denver in 2011, where I completed a certification in Interpersonal Trauma with a clinical focus on families. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working in various settings such as schools, walk-in crisis centers, community mental health, and primary care medical environments, providing support to people of all ages and backgrounds.
One of my core passions is being a gender-affirming provider. For the past several years, I've dedicated myself to supporting individuals in accessing gender-affirming medical care. I've conducted training for large healthcare groups in Denver, striving to dismantle systems of oppression and stigmatization around gender-affirming care. As a proud member of the World Professional Association of Transgender Healthcare, I am committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all my clients.
As a therapist, I firmly believe that where there is breath, there is hope. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and caring, blending humanistic, strengths-based, and whole health perspectives. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we will work to meet you where you are in your healing journey and help you reconnect with your most authentic self. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or grief, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
I am bilingual in Spanish, which allows me to connect with and support a broader range of clients. If you're ready to take the next step in your journey, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to create hope and healing.
