Kelley began her career in mental health almost two decades ago by working with survivors of domestic violence at a local courthouse. She also worked with first responders providing crisis support in her graduate internship at the Phoenix Fire Department. She continued her career by focusing on crisis intervention, assessment and treatment in local emergency rooms and hospitals. This lead her to advanced training and experience in suicide loss, sudden and unexpected loss and traumatic grief. Kelley is the founder and owner of North Valley Center for Hope in Scottsdale and Rocky Mountain Center for Hope in Colorado.
Kelley’s desire to focus her private practice on grief and loss has been strongly shaped by several personal losses including her longtime childhood friend of 15 years, her father to a rare blood cancer in his 50’s, cousin in her 40’s to brain cancer and 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.
