For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Hello and a warm welcome! I'm Denay Kelly, your compassionate Nurse Practitioner specializing in family practice, emergency medicine, Psychiatric and hospital medicine. With a rich educational background, including a Master's in Nursing, I've cultivated a wealth of expertise to ensure you receive top-notch care tailored to your needs. Throughout my career, I've embraced various pivotal roles that have allowed me to provide exceptional care in emergency situations and routine health management. Whether it's leading medical teams in critical access hospitals or delivering urgent psychiatric care via telehealth, my experiences across Minnesota, Iowa, Florida and beyond have deepened my commitment to accessible and comprehensive healthcare for all. Communication is the heartbeat of effective healthcare. My adept use of electronic health systems like Epic, Meditech, and Cerner guarantees that every detail of your health journey is meticulously documented and readily available for any necessary consultations—always with strict adherence to HIPAA regulations. Beyond clinical practice, I'm passionate about nurturing future healthcare leaders through teaching and mentorship. My certifications in Advanced Family Practice showcase my dedication to lifelong learning and excellence in patient care. When I'm not caring for patients or engaging with students, you'll likely find me reveling in the simple joys of life. Gardening brings me peace, traveling fuels my curiosity about the world, and quality moments with friends and family are what I cherish most. For a dose of adventure, I love hopping on my bike for a trail ride or hiking through nature's wonders. And on those days when relaxation calls my name, there's no place I'd rather be than unwinding at the beach. I'm here to support your health journey with empathy, skillful care, and a commitment to helping you achieve the healthiest version of yourself. Thank you for entrusting me with such an important aspect of your life.

I am a Licensed Social Worker and holistic mental health wellness psychotherapist practicing teletherapy in Colorado. I help adult individuals and couples live brighter, less stressed lives without feeling stuck in anxiety. My clients have struggled with stressful life changes despite being self-aware, hard-working, and high achieving--because life is complicated. My clients had been in therapy before, or were worried about trying it, and felt shame for the way they were struggling. Together, we created a safe space so they could reconnect with themselves and build resilience to live freer and brighter.

I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, and attended Rutgers University in New Jersey, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Sociology minor. Growing up, family and friends always came to me for help and found comfort in talking to me about their challenges. I loved helping them and always knew I wanted a career where I would be able to help people and have a positive impact on their lives. When I was a freshman in college at Rutgers University, I saw Eric LeGrand play football, and during a game, he was paralyzed from the neck down. Doctors thought that he would never be able to breathe independently again, let alone have any movement or feeling in his body. However, LeGrand never let his situation define him. He relearned how to breathe without a ventilator’s assistance and eventually even regained feeling in his body and some movement. Throughout my years in college, I saw the challenges and adversity that he faced. Seeing him still push towards his goals and have such a positive outlook on life helped me realize that I wanted to help people have that same outlook even though they have faced challenges and struggles. I also spent my time at Rutgers volunteering for a mentoring program at a local high school that would help guide students through high school with the goal of earning a full scholarship to Rutgers University. Seeing the positive impact I could have on these student lives further fueled my passion for helping others. During my final year at Rutgers, I was fortunate enough to study abroad in Rome, Italy. I developed a love of travel and learning about different people, cultures, and customs. During that time, I traveled to six other countries, where I was immersed in different cultures and traditions, which helped me learn and grow as a person. After graduating, I moved to Washington, DC, where I attended The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, DC Campus, for my Masters in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling. In 2017 my wife and I moved to Charlotte and loved getting to know the city! In 2020 I started Bright View Counseling in Charlotte, North Carolina, to help those struggling and offer a unique type of therapy and counseling. I wanted to create a practice where I could bring a different twist to the typical therapy approach by involving unique and engaging activities during the session, such as going outdoors for walks and outside sessions, playing games, and doing exercises, including our office dog Charlotte.

What Lola & I do: Life is hard and sometimes we just need a sounding board or some new tools for our tool belt (that we will actually use). Some nonjudgmental support paired with golden retriever cuddles is what we are here to do! My main goal is to provide an authentic, nonjudgmental, brave, and safe space to work through life's struggles. We are focused on helping you achieve your goals and challenge you to grow how you see fit. Who we Work With: Our clients are of diverse gender, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds. We work with people of all ages from middle school aged kiddos to older adults, and everything in between. I specialize in clients who are challenged by:  Thoughts of suicide or chronic suicidality Processing PTSD (i.e. sexual violence, psychical abuse, traumatic experiences) Coping with depression Anxiety Self harm Loss in your life Gaining skills to love yourself and  increase self confidence Navigating new and challenging life transitions Working through family or school issues Managing living life with mental health symptoms. I also have an extensive history working within school systems and love to help clients find support in balancing the demands of school and staying mentally healthy. Treatment Styles:  I believe not one treatment style fits every person. We, as a therapist client team, should try different techniques until we find the best fit for you. I work with multiple research based clinical approaches such as: Animal Assisted Therapy and Interventions (AAT) Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Somatic Therapies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Motivational interviewing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Experiential Therapies like: Art and Play Therapy Guided Imagery Movement Based Therapies. When using any of these treatment theories, I always practice in a trauma informed, strength based, and client centered way. This means you control the session and where you want to go, while I guide and support your therapeutic journey.

Welcome! I am so happy you are here. I work specifically with people of color and those in the LGBTQ+ community who are seeking therapy for anxiety, stress and burnout, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship difficulties.  Therapy can be a scary and daunting step. Taking the time to address your needs, big or small, shows strength and courage and I will be right by your side with empathy and compassion.  I believe that, when entering a space of vulnerability, it is important to feel safe and secure. As a therapist, my job is to provide you with a non-judgmental therapeutic environment to support you in your healing and growth. I am here to offer a collaborative approach to empower and foster change in your journey.

Being a relational therapist, I understand that the quality of the therapeutic relationship plays a significant role in the healing process. We can grow and make transformational change most effectively in relationships in which we feel safe, understood, and cared about. As your therapist, I will meet you with warmth, compassion, and authenticity.

You want to feel a sense of safety and security within your relationships. The basis of any intimate relationship is friendship. Whether you are with a partner and want to improve your intimacy or an individual looking to create a foundation for a positive relationship, I will help give you the tools and motivation to feel empowered in your life. Through compassion and understanding, you will discover the platform to reach your full potential and enrich your life. My approach is to be attentive to your story as a couple or individual and tailor our work together to meet your unique needs. Throughout my experience, I found that the healing process is not linear and specific to the individual or couple. Together, we will build the strength to take control of your life and grow within your emotional awareness. I provide a relational, direct approach which allows space to ask the difficult questions while creating a safe environment for curiosity. You can expect to feel the positive shift you have been looking for within your life with the tools and resiliency we will create together.

I am an anxiety and attachment therapist who creates a safe space to practice intentional vulnerability. I listen and acknowledge your thoughts and feelings throughout the session, but don’t get me wrong - I am not a “sit and nod” therapist. I utilize an active and directive approach to help identify and name patterns, behaviors, or thoughts that may be holding you back from living the life you want. Treatment may also include exploration of your attachment style by discussing issues in childhood, and how they impact the way that you show up in the world today. Did you grow up with a parent that was emotionally unavailable or dismissive? Was it intentional or unintentional? These are topics that we may explore so you can see how the past is influencing your present. My job is to help you identify what triggers your fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses, and how to soothe them. I help you see the intention behind your trauma responses, and remind you that your body is always trying to keep you safe. My focus and passions include inner child healing, reparenting yourself as an adult, generational trauma, and nervous system regulation. If you are interested in a holistic and collaborative approach to your healing, email me today for a free 15-minute consultation.
