Kelly Dowd

Kelly Dowd is a compassionate clinical social worker and therapist who dedicates her practice to helping young adults navigate their unique challenges. Young adults often face numerous worries, from sorting out their careers and relationships to planning for an uncertain future. When combined with issues like depression, anxiety, and the psychological turmoil that can accompany these stressors, the journey can become overwhelming. Kelly understands that the struggles faced during this pivotal life stage are very real, yet can be overlooked by peers and misunderstood by older generations who may not recall the intensity of such feelings. She believes that no one should feel isolated in their experiences or believe they are falling behind on the arbitrary timeline of life. Therapy may sometimes seem like an unusual choice for what appears to be 'normal' stress, but Kelly provides a supportive space where individuals can process their thoughts and feelings. Through her guidance, clients discover that they are neither more nor less than their peers, and that choices made today do not determine their worth or future potential. Kelly is committed to helping young adults understand and manage their stress effectively, fostering an environment that honors their concerns—no matter how simple they may seem. In partnership with Kelly, clients can explore creative solutions and find their own paths, reinforcing the idea that sometimes an unbiased therapist can be a vital support when friends and family are unable to provide the necessary perspective.
