Hello! My name is Lynn and I have 10 years of experience working with the adult population. I provide individual therapy and over the last 7 years I have had the opportunity to work with adults of varying ages, primarily women who have experienced abusive or toxic relationships, specifically narcissistic abuse. Our understanding of how relationships work originate from our family of origin. We learn attitudes and behaviors from our caregivers and many times these behaviors are toxic, dysfunctional or destructive. I can help with understanding the patterns in your relationships or behaviors that create strife or stress. I focus on mind, body and soul. I use integrative therapies to help you to identify unhealthy thoughts and behaviors and replace them with healthy ones to creating meaningful change and learn to successfully navigate the relationships and interactions with the people in your life. I approach all of life including therapy from a Christian worldview. I would be happy to integrate faith into the counseling process by request. My approaches to therapy primarily includes; Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) some Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Interpersonal therapy, Solution Focused therapy and recently I have been trained in basic EMDR therapy and FLASH. To learn more about EMDR, go to www.EMDRIA.org. I believe that you are the expert about you. My job is to partner with you and walk along with you through your journey of healing.

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 dedicated Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a deep passion for strengthening mental health across diverse communities and advocating for lifelong learning and growth. I have experience treating a wide range of mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, PTSD, sleep disorders, and substance use disorders. With a background in treating individuals of all ages—children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric patients—I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including inpatient wards, outpatient clinics, telehealth, and crisis centers. Growing up in the countryside, I understand the value of community and the unique challenges rural areas face in accessing quality healthcare. My upbringing taught me the importance of hard work, empathy, and family—values I bring into my practice every day. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, exploring nature through hiking, and staying active to maintain my own mental and physical health. My mission extends beyond the clinical setting. I am committed to connecting with individuals in rural communities and beyond, especially those who face barriers in accessing mental health services. Through the convenience of telehealth, I strive to break down those barriers, offering support to anyone on their path toward mental wellness, regardless of their location. I hope that through my practice, you'll feel the commitment and care I bring to each encounter. Your mental health journey is valued and supported every step of the way as we work together towards healing and growth.
