Kelly Murphy, LCAT, ATR-BC

I’m a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist who values creating a space that feels safe, genuine, and easy to step into. My style is warm, down to earth, and collaborative, and I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen and met where you are. I have provided individual and group therapy since 2006 and work with children ages 3 and up, teens, adults, parents, and families. I support people navigating loss and grief, serious or terminal medical illness, chronic illness, trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, school and work challenges, relationship struggles, disability, parenting concerns, and life transitions. Using a trauma-informed and psychodynamic approach, I integrate art therapy, sand tray therapy, somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This allows us to work in ways that go beyond words when needed, while always moving at a pace that feels manageable and respectful. My goal is to create a safe space that feels grounded, supportive, and real. Therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating or overly clinical. It can be a place to slow down, explore what’s going on beneath the surface, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels authentic and manageable.
