Hello and Welcome!
I’m so glad you’re here. If you’ve been seeking something beyond traditional therapy or a space where you can truly explore your authentic self,
you’re in the right place.
I offer telehealth therapy for adults carrying the weight of childhood trauma, emotional neglect, and attachment wounds. If you're high-functioning on the outside and exhausted on the inside, you're in the right place.
My focus is on emotional expression, self-understanding, and the exploration of unconscious desires that shape our lives.
A safe and supportive space where you have the freedom to choose how, or if, to grow.
Telehealth Therapy: Virtual, attachment-focused trauma therapy for adults across Michigan. We work beneath the surface, into the nervous system and body, where talk therapy alone often can't reach. Specializing in complex trauma, childhood emotional neglect, and anxious and avoidant attachment patterns.
Equine Somatic Experiencing (Coming July 2026): A body-based & non-riding approach to trauma healing at a private farm in northern Oakland County. Horses are uniquely attuned to nervous system states, making them remarkable partners in this work. Sessions are non-riding and grounded in Somatic Experiencing. Inquire for details and waitlist.
What I Offer
Meet Kelly O'Brien
For me, life has always been about asking why. Why do we act the way we do? Why do we follow societal norms that don’t always align with who we truly are?
I've spent my career asking why we carry what we carry, and how we finally set it down.
I work with adults who grew up in families where emotional safety wasn't guaranteed, where they learned to be small, to be useful, or to disappear entirely. Many of my clients are insightful and self-aware, but still find themselves stuck in patterns they can't think their way out of.
My approach is warm, engaged, and yes, there's room for joy. This isn't clinical distance. It's real, collaborative work at a pace that feels safe, moving toward a life that actually feels like yours
This journey is about finding joy in the process—together.
My Mission
I’m here to provide support, to be an advocate for change, and to help individuals reconnect with their true selves.
Whether you’re navigating trauma, feeling lost, or simply seeking to understand your place in the world, my goal is to guide you in rediscovering your identity and agency. This is a place for those who feel unseen, stuck, or disconnected, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you find your way.
