Grow from surviving to thriving.
About Me
Dr. Brey is currently able to accept new patients-yay!
Hello! I'm Kelly. (she/her). I am a human, a mother, a partner, and a Licensed Psychologist (in no particular order). In the last 20 years, I have worked in nearly every therapeutic setting, with people struggling with many different challenges.
It has been in the last decade I have specialized in working with young adults and women struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, chronic illness/pain and trauma.
Fortunately or unfortunately, this passion stems from my own life experiences. These experiences have allowed for a much higher level of empathy and shared understanding, improving my ability to walk with you.
​
I received my PhD from the University of Nebraska Lincoln in 2007. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at McLean Psychiatric Hospital/Harvard Medical School, and received an additional fellowship in Psychiatry in the Department of Psychology at Harvard Medical School. I completed my post-doctoral fellowship at Texas Children's Hospital/Baylor College of Medicine.
Specializing in individual therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, chronic pain, and concerns uniquely affecting women.
My Approach
A graduate supervisor once commented "Kelly, you are the same in session as you are in real life." I don't know if she meant it to be a compliment, but that was my chosen interpretation. For therapy to be effective, you have to feel comfortable with your psychologist. I can have all the degrees in the world, however if you don't feel a connection- change will not occur.
​
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected. However, I am broadly trained, and will adapt your sessions to your needs and preferences (e.g., not digging CBT? We have many other forms of therapy/treatment that are proven to be effective). Together, we will create specific goals for your therapy, then at your pace- begin to work towards them.
My goal for each session is that you feel supported, seen, and heard.
​
Our work together will include both of us getting to know you. We will collaboratively develop goals and identify ways to move you from surviving to thriving.
