🌟An honor to be named a Top 3 Business in Idaho Falls! Here’s to new and improved mental health for the New Year! We are humbled to serve you! Read a little bit of our story below.

🌟 I (Kelly) had a dream to open a private practice one day. That dream was nearly forgotten as I buried myself in agency work. Working with the poorest population in Pocatello, and moving on to other agencies in Idaho Falls. I received clinical wisdom from so many along the way.

🌟After getting trained in EMDR and talking with a fellow therapist opening up her private practice, my dream sparked a new light and I began to pursue my original dream! Opening up my very own private practice to help clients be their best selves. Healing from my own childhood trauma and balancing living with treated Bipolar Disorder, I knew I had the skill set to help people while exuding compassion, extending grace to their circumstances, and speaking truth into their lives.

🌟I opened Compassion Counseling nearly 4.5 years ago, and since then God has blessed my business in abundance, even carrying a waitlist at all times.

🌟I feel so honored to have worked with so many people throughout Idaho, and specifically in Idaho Falls. I love helping women heal from trauma (I’ve been there!), break unhealthy cycles and thought patterns (been there too!), heal from depression and anxiety (yep, that too!) and thrive instead of just surviving! I have walked in your shoes and overcome adversity of my own. I can relate and help you in your struggle.

🌟Thank you to my clients who have left me google reviews, which is what this award stems from. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🌟All glory and honor to God! I am thankful to have the Holy Spirit to guide my conversations with clients. I pray for my clients on my own time because I know He is our ultimate Healer, and He uses me as a vessel to help. How humbling.

🌟If you are looking for a therapist, I’d love to connect and see if we would be a good fit. Reach out to me at Compassion Counseling — Where hope is on the horizon!

Discomfort reducing apologies seem to help but actually damage the relationship’s trust bridge more. Accountable repairs with consistent and actionable change are what create the safety and allow the trust bridge to be rebuilt. It takes time, expecting anything less is unreasonable and can be unhealthy.

I love this! We cannot challenge, change, or choose until we have understanding, AND we cannot understand what we have no knowledge or awareness of.

Happy Mother’s Day to all moms, from your Compassion Counseling family! ❤️❤️ Blessed to have my loving mom and mother-in-law, and equally to be a mom to my precious son!

With the miscarriage I experienced on Christmas Eve, my heart extends to moms who have lost children, and those who have lost their moms. I think about those who long to be a mom, who do not have a good relationship with their mom, or were abandoned or mistreated by their mom, etc. I see you.

I also celebrate with new moms, mother figures, step-moms, and bonus moms! Keep rockin’ it!

Motherhood is not for the faint of heart. It is the best and hardest work of my entire life. I wouldn’t trade it for the world! I am so grateful and my heart is full.

Shout out to my husband for the dozen red roses 🌹, chocolate covered strawberries, steak and wonderful meal he cooked for us all today! I love you!

Also, shout out to my son for greeting me first thing this morning with the loudest and proudest HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY ever! Love you, Sweetheart! ❤️

My office just got a whole lot brighter thanks to my son’s latest artwork! He drew a picture of the two of us, and it’s so sweet how he showcased his spiky hair and my curly hair. The smiles on our faces say it all! ☺️

✨A sneak peek into my personal life. As therapists we are taught to self-disclose sparingly and when appropriate and helpful to the client. I’ll admit I self-disclose more than most therapists. This is because I know how one-sided the therapeutic relationship can be. I know all your deep, dark secrets and the client doesn’t know much about me at all. It feels human to know the person on the other end; the therapist.

✨I like to share about my Bipolar journey with clients also diagnosed with Bipolar. This helps clients know they are not alone. I don’t take up the whole session with my problems, but gentle self-disclosure can benefit the client.

✨So here’s a peak at my humble, little family. My husband, Billy, and I have a precious 5-year-old son. We attend a non-denominational church in town where I sing occasionally on the worship team and am a part of a community group with some of our closest friends, who gather weekly. I formerly led Healing Hearts, the women’s mental health support group at our church. Besides singing, I love swing dancing, and Persian and Thai food. Please do yourself a favor and dine at Thai 208 and get the Massaman Curry! It’s delicious! I am a California native and moved to Idaho Falls 7 years ago. My favorite colors are fuchsia and teal.

✨My relationship with Jesus is my most meaningful relationship and I do my best to show Jesus to all I meet.

✨I am *almost a published author! My book will come out in a few weeks. The book is called Warrior Woman and it shares stories from my life about overcoming mental health struggles and more, all while pointing people towards the gospel of Jesus Christ.

✨As for my therapeutic expertise, I work a lot with adults struggling with their mental health with things like depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, relationship issues and PTSD. I specialize in EMDR; an evidence-based approach to help heal trauma. I also offer Christian counseling and spiritual direction.

✨Although more often than not I have a waitlist, please reach out to see if I have availability. For new clients, email or texting is best.

✨There is hope for you!
