Kelly Correa, PhD
Specializes In:
Kelly Correa helps adults across California navigate life’s challenges with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based care. She supports individuals facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, and trauma, and offers empowering strategies that help patients build resilience and regain a sense of control. Kelly provides individual therapy for adults of all ages, including young adults, adults in midlife, and seniors, ensuring that care is responsive to each stage of life. Kelly is particularly passionate about helping patients manage ADHD, insomnia and other sleep-related concerns, and the emotional impact of ongoing medical conditions. She uses practical, research-supported tools to help individuals strengthen focus, improve sleep, and develop coping strategies that enhance both mental and physical well-being. Her approach integrates proven techniques that guide patients in creating meaningful, sustainable change. In her broader work at LifeStance Health, Kelly specializes in treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma, and has extensive experience supporting LGBTQ+ adults, women, and military veterans. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and offers additional evidence-based interventions tailored to each patient’s needs. Kelly began practicing in 2016 and believes that therapy should be a collaborative, validating experience where patients feel supported while also challenged to grow. She focuses on helping individuals understand unhelpful patterns, build emotional flexibility, and reconnect with their values. Outside of work, Kelly enjoys spending time with family and friends, discovering new shows and music, exploring local spots around San Diego, and staying grounded through strength training and mindful movement.
