Dr. Kelly McAleer

My approach to therapy: Therapy with me isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with you. It’s a space for self-inquiry—a place to tend to what’s been buried, minimized, or pushed aside. I meet you where you are and help you move toward insight, healing, and a more connected sense of self. My work draws from a range of modalities and unfolds at a pace that feels right to you.
