NANCY KELLY

I have worked in the field of education in both elementary and high school, as a mental health counsellor for over 20 years in many different capacities. During this time, I developed and facilitated character education programs, while supporting both children and families that were going through difficult transitions and challenges in their life. Some of these include anxiety/stress, self-harm/suicide ideation, separation/divorce, self-esteem/self-regulation, and grief. As humans, it is important that we learn alternative healthy ways to manage challenges and strong emotions.

My Goal … is to educate children, youth, and adults to make positive, empowering choices, so they will be able to move past what is holding them back.  With the use of CBT and DBT techniques, this can be accomplished by offering them different perspectives, building on their resilience, and innovative problem solving strategies, so they can arrive at the best possible outcome. 

My Belief ... is that everyone should  love themselves fully and accept who they are with compassion and understanding.

My Vision … is to promote wellness and resilience in my work with all individuals.
