The Art & Science of Being Human.
Chronic pain/illness, burnout, anxiety, nervous system overwhelm, and the things that don't fit neatly into a diagnosis.
Erin Kelly, PhD | Licensed Psychologist | Telehealth Across PSYPACT states
Hi, I’m Erin.
I'm a psychologist, former academic medical center faculty member, researcher, mindfulness teacher, and someone who genuinely loves this work.
My background is in the intersection of psychological and physical health, but my interests extend well beyond symptoms and diagnoses. I'm fascinated by the ways our bodies, minds, relationships, identities, and experiences shape how we move through the world.
I bring clinical science, curiosity, warmth, and a healthy appreciation for how complicated being human can be.
Grounded in science. Open to complexity.
My work draws on years of clinical practice, research, and teaching in academic medicine, alongside specialized training in mindfulness-based therapy, chronic pain, hypnosis, and psychedelic-informed care. I am PSYCPACT authorized and a published researcher.
Humans are not particularly neat.
Neither are the things that bring us to therapy.
You can love your life and still feel overwhelmed by it. You can understand your patterns intellectually and still struggle to change them. You can be incredibly capable and quietly exhausted. And sometimes the things that make us human don't fit neatly into a diagnosis, treatment plan, or explanation.
I believe good therapy makes room for all of it.
Sometimes that means learning practical skills. Sometimes it means understanding yourself differently, questioning old patterns, or exploring what matters to you now. And sometimes it means having a place where you don't have to immediately turn everything into a problem to solve.
You might be in the right place if…

Burnout, Overwhelm & High-Functioning Anxiety
From the outside, things may look fine. On the inside, you're exhausted from holding it all together, pushing through, or carrying more than anyone realizes.
