She completed her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Southern Colorado (1992), and both her Master’s (1995) and Doctorate in Counseling Psychology (1999) from Indiana State University. She also earned a Master of Science in Public Health degree (2000) from the University of Missouri-Columbia where she completed a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the university’s Department of Family and Community Medicine. She has received specialized training from the Mind-Body Medical Institute of Harvard University, and has been trained in various holistic, natural health, and spiritual methods of healing.
With 31+ years of direct clinical experience, Dr. Kelly doesn’t just believe in helping others to heal; instead, her mission is to help them to evolve. Using her own integrative framework—the Soul Health Model (https://www.drkatherinetkelly.com/soul-health-model/)—Dr. Kelly approaches her work with clients from a psycho-spiritual perspective. She provides a uniquely progressive, yet down-to-earth approach to healing and is well-known in both the therapeutic and medical communities. She thrives as she helps clients to reach what she calls conscious evolution through a variety of self-designed methods. Her dedication to healing has been widely recognized as she was the recipient of the 2006 Provider of the Year Award by the regional Mental Health Association, and was nominated as an Incredible Woman for a local community television network, which spotlights role models to inspire young women to pursue their own passions.
Dr. Kelly (http://www.amazon.com/Katherine-T.-Kelly-Ph.D.-M.S.P.H./e/B00CL1KNXA) has undergone her own ‘evolution’, beginning her career as Coordinator of Alcohol and Drug Education at Indiana State University. She was later recruited to serve as the Director and Treatment Coordinator of a private traumatic brain injury program in the community. Following the completion of her training, she accepted a position as an Assistant Professor and Director of Behavioral Science in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at Wake Forest University. She later entered private practice and founded/owned Branches Holistic Health and Wellness Center. She realized she could make a greater impact elsewhere—so she left that adventure to make room for her other main passions — writing and speaking.
