Open Sky Wilderness Therapy is pleased to announce the addition of Licensed Professional Counselor, Kim Kelley to its clinical team.
“Kim is an excellent addition to the Open Sky clinical team,” said Clinical and Family Services Director, Tony Issenmann. “She is a confident, talented, and humble clinician who brings tremendous knowledge and experience to Open Sky and the families we serve.”
Kim’s career in wilderness therapy began when she worked with children in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, after leaving her position at a drug and alcohol outpatient treatment center in Texas. Through the power of the outdoors, she immediately saw dramatic progress towards wellness in her young clients and was forever changed in how she wanted to provide therapy.
Kim continued providing counseling services through wilderness programs in Colorado and then Oregon. Kim’s professional experience later expanded to include the following: school counseling, graduate level teaching, state supervision of counseling interns, and a private practice focused on EMDR and CBT techniques. After years of helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in her thriving private practice, Kim returned to her first love, counseling youth in the outdoors, where strengths and challenges can be clearly identified and addressed through the unfolding of an individual’s perspective on their internal and external worlds.
Outside of work, Kim enjoys spending time with her husband and friends; writing, recording and performing songs; running; hiking; biking; and relaxing while walking her dogs and cat (yes, walking the cat).
