Kelly Michiels-Weldon, LPC

Kelly is a compassionate clinical mental health counselor dedicated to fostering supportive, trusting relationships with her clients. She believes that a strong therapeutic alliance empowers clients to face and overcome life's challenges. Kelly strives to create a safe space for exploring all aspects of their identity, including gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and more.

With over six years of experience in partial hospitalization and residential programs in various roles, Kelly specializes in evidence-based treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders. She works with individuals across the lifespan, beginning at age 7, with a particular focus on adolescents and young adults. Kelly is passionate about supporting clients through life transitions, including grief and loss, relationship changes, career decisions, and school-related concerns or avoidance.

Approaching therapy from a humanistic perspective, Kelly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) into her practice and has a keen interest in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Her ultimate goal is to help clients build resilience and confidence as they navigate their mental health journeys and embrace their full selves.

Outside of her professional life, Kelly enjoys hiking and camping with her dogs and husband, tackling home improvement projects, spending time with friends and family, and exploring Madison and beyond.

Kelly provides outpatient services virtually and at the Waunakee office and Comprehensive Community Services to Columbia, Dane, Dodge and Sauk counties. Kelly is accepting new patients.
