Kelley began her career in mental health almost two decades ago by supporting survivors of domestic violence at a local courthouse. She continued her work in the crisis field with first responders and the community in her graduate internship at the Phoenix Fire Department. She has spent over a decade in emergency rooms and hospitals working with those experiencing grief or a behavioral health crisis to provide support, intervention and stabilization.
This experience lead her to pursue advanced clinical training in suicide loss, sudden and unexpected death and traumatic grief. Clients typically seek out Kelley for help with losses due to cancer and disease, auto accidents, homicide, suicide, child loss, overdose and medical malpractice deaths.
Kelley’s experience also has expanded to working with high profile clients including those exposed to media coverage during the time of the loss. Due to this intrusion, she takes close consideration in maintaining and respecting privacy during the most challenging of times.
Kelley is the founder and owner of North Valley Center for Hope in Scottsdale, Arizona and Rocky Mountain Center for Hope in Colorado. She is a facilitator for a variety of grief support groups and currently in the process of completing two books on the topics of domestic violence and suicide loss.
Kelley’s desire to focus her private practice on grief and loss has been strongly shaped by several personal losses including the early deaths of her longtime childhood friend and father as well as her brother by suicide.
When not working, Kelley enjoys traveling, watching baseball, hiking, spending time with her animals and attending live music events. She was raised in Arizona but presently resides in beautiful Northern Colorado. She is the mother to two amazing adult daughters and has a very special grandson.
