Kelly Couture, M.Ed
Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor. I have had the privilege of being a counselor for 20+ years and have experience not only with providing direct behavioral health care to individuals, couples, families, and groups but also in supervising counseling interns as well as licensed clinicians. I earned my Bachelor's Degree from The Ohio State University in Speech and Hearing Science and my Master's Degree from Kent State University in Community Counseling. I am currently working on my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision through the University of the Cumberlands. I specialize in anxiety disorders, mood disorders, LGBTQ+, substance abuse, grief, and thought disorders. I have a passion for working with women regarding pregnancy (before, during, and postpartum) and specifically with pregnancy loss.

I have provided outpatient therapy in community mental health and private practice settings for adolescents, adults, and the elderly population. I also have experience working with clients within the areas of mobile crisis, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and inpatient hospitalization settings. Having experience with Emergency Trauma Response Teams and the provision of Critical Incident Debriefings, I also have expertise in crisis intervention and suicide education. 

I tailor treatment using an eclectic style that incorporates modalities of Person Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness. My philosophy is to walk alongside clients on their journey toward health and personal growth with positivity, humor, and warmth while using a holistic approach that supports the whole person in a multi-dimensional manner. It is my honor to be of service to others during the experiences we face in life.
