Therapy
Dr. Kelly Hughes Berardi provides individual therapy in the form of telehealth. The frequency and length of treatment is tailored to each individual. Everyone’s situation is unique, and therefore each person’s experience in therapy will be different and tailored to fit their needs and goals. She believes establishing a strong alliance or partnership with her clients is a key element to change. She views her role in therapy as teacher or advocate. Creating a collaborative environment of empathic understanding, trust, and acceptance is the foundation upon which she teaches cognitive, behavioral, and acceptance based strategies to help clients cope with and overcome their unique struggles. A big part of her approach also focuses on client strengths and helping them to not only feel better but to thrive. Therapy begins with a clinical intake and follows with weekly to monthly (depending on what you need). Sessions last 45 to 50 minutes.
