Kelly Kerrigan, LCSW

Kelly Kerrigan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and clinical supervisor with extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. She brings a deep understanding of complex emotional and relational challenges, with particular specialization in working with **first responders**, drawing from both her professional expertise and lived experience as a **first responder herself**. This background allows Kelly to provide informed, culturally competent care to those navigating the unique stressors, trauma exposure, and high-demand environments inherent in first responder roles.

Kelly also specializes in **Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)** and **Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)**, offering innovative, evidence-based approaches to support healing from trauma, mood disorders, and treatment-resistant symptoms. Her clinical areas of focus include relationship difficulties, conflict resolution, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and personality disorders.

Kelly practices from an **eclectic and integrative framework**, thoughtfully tailoring treatment to meet the unique needs of each client or family system. Her individualized approach draws from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic theory, and solution-focused interventions.

Kelly believes that each person is as unique as the reasons that bring them to therapy, and that treatment should reflect that individuality. Her professional background includes work as a family court mediator, community mental health clinician, and psychiatric social worker, providing her with a broad and nuanced perspective across clinical, legal, and systemic settings.

Kelly earned her Master of Social Work with a focus on children, youth, and families from Arizona State University. She also holds a Bachelor of Arts in History and has previous experience working as a teacher, further enriching her ability to support clients across developmental stages and life transitions.
