Meet Dr. Kelly Poirot

While families find their way to my office for a variety of reasons, common threads include overwhelming feelings, pain, and confusion. Hundreds of families have met with me and left with tools to not only understand their child, but that will also benefit their entire family’s social-emotional growth. Recently, a family brought their child to see me due to symptoms of severe anxiety. After just a few sessions, the child was not only using the skills themselves (which decreased her anxiety & her outbursts), but she was also teaching her younger brother how to use those tools!

Over the past 9 years, I have worked with children and teenagers in therapy and completed comprehensive evaluations for over 200 children. Whether we talk about coping skills, or interpersonal skills, or “thought traps,” the progress made during sessions are a combination of children and parents working together. When the child puts in the hard work outside of session and the parents are diligent about helping their child practice the skills (& practicing the skills themselves!), we are able to see incredible transformation and growth.  

I am dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized services that help you and your child navigate life’s challenges, grow personally, and enhance overall well-being.
