Experience & Practices

Brenna Kelley began her journey as a therapist in 2017 and has since been dedicated to helping clients through creative and holistic approaches. She pursued her education at Holy Family University’s 4+2 program, completing four years of extensive training in integrating art into the therapeutic process. During this time, Brenna explored various artistic mediums, such as ceramics, painting, watercolor, printmaking, and sculpture, learning how to adapt these tools to best serve her clients’ therapeutic goals.
Through the use of art therapy, Brenna strives to create a safe and supportive space where clients can express themselves and work toward their goals through creative exploration. After earning her bachelor’s degree, she continued her education by completing a Master’s in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Art Therapy.
While working toward her Master’s degree, Brenna gained valuable experience as a Behavioral Health Technician, collaborating closely with Behavioral Specialists to implement treatment plans and interventions for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This experience has shaped her ability to adapt treatment plans to suit the unique needs of individuals and their families.
Brenna approaches therapy from a holistic perspective, focusing on enhancing confidence, reducing anxiety and depression, promoting stress management, and improving social skills and communication. She tailors her approach to the specific needs of each client, incorporating both traditional and creative techniques to foster growth and healing.
Currently, Brenna is working toward completing the necessary hours to obtain board certification from the Art Therapy Credentials Board (ATR-BC) and become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
