About Kelly Kennedy, Clinical Manager and Therapist
Kelly Kennedy is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and the Clinical Manager at Wild Acres Wellness. Kelly is passionate about helping others step into their strength, heal from their past, and move towards their truest selves by exploring connection in mind, body, and spirit. She deeply believes that we each have an innate ability to heal and restore within ourselves. Kelly is experienced in helping clients process anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, difficult emotions, and identity confusion.
Kelly uses an integrative approach to therapy, incorporating Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Trauma Focused Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, nature based therapy, and mindfulness. Although she does not use it in her clinical practice, Kelly is also trained in Reiki and Reiki for animals, which she enjoys using to care for herself and the animal partners at the farm. Kelly uses a trauma informed lens to guide her practice, meaning that she is always considering how our nervous system and neuro- biology have stored our experiences and are impacting our lives now.
In her spare time, Kelly enjoys spending time with her husband and their four legged friends. She also enjoys horseback riding, travelling, adventuring in nature, cooking, reading, and soaking up the sun.
