Therapist in Sacramento, California,
Kelly Blake, LCSW

I believe my professional experience informs the way I connect and explore with individuals, families and clients who appreciate my empathic, humanistic relatedness as well as my passion for your growth towards wholehearted living and love for life. Life can be hard, and I believe that healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires my working in partnership with you, utilizing your strengths to help sort out your challenges and achieve your goals. I want to get to know you and your world and bring compassion, humor, kindness and curiosity into each session. I believe it is crucial in this process to identify all aspects of your life that impact your well-being, including your physical health, support systems (family, friends), work or school environment, and faith/spirituality.

I completed my undergrad in Psychology at Chapman University and my master’s in social work at the University of Southern California. I have spent five years in the nonprofit communities working with children, adolescent, teenagers and families, of diverse socio-economic status and backgrounds with challenges including depression, anxiety, ODD, ADHD. I teach and utilize mindfulness, solution-focused, cognitive behavioral therapy and psychoeducation. I am also PC-CARE Certified (Parent-Childcare) for families interested in improving caregiver-child relationships and learning child behavior management strategies.

Let’s work together to create the best version of yourself and nothing less!
