My counselor listens to me and I am so appreciative that whenever our appointment she so vividly is totally cognizant of our last appointments topics, readings, and potential work (which I absolutely LOVE!?). My counselor gives me confidence in my future even tho I have none myself.

Hello, my name is Kelly Gulat (last name pronounced 'goo-lot'). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience providing therapy and over 20 years working in the mental health field. I enjoy helping clients find their most fulfilling path in life. We are whole people and as such, I focus on the many aspects of life that contribute to each person's wellbeing. Some topics that therapy is especially helpful in addressing are stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, personal identity, gender identity, culture, spirituality, acceptance, self-esteem, health and wellness, communication, family matters, boundaries, motivation, confidence, goals, and of course change. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I look forward to getting to know you and partnering with you on your journey of self-discovery.

About online counseling

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She’s been fantastic
I’ve enjoyed my one on ones with Kelly and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for great therapist.
Kelly is so helpful. She always offers me solutions and is very supportive.
Kelly is a kind and intelligent therapist. She provides lots of materials that help with my therapy. She’s a very good listener and seems to quickly pick up where we left off on a prior visit. I would highly recommend Kelly especially for trauma related issues.
I can't speak highly enough about Kelly's expertise and dedication. From the first session, I felt a sense of comfort and trust. Her deep understanding of human psychology and her ability to listen without judgment were truly remarkable. Throughout our sessions, she consistently demonstrated remarkable skill in guiding me through my thoughts and emotions, helping me gain valuable insights and coping strategies. Her empathetic approach made me feel heard and validated, creating a safe space for me to open up and address my concerns. I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate therapist!
Kelly was the second therapist I chose, but number one in my book. Kelly has a calm, smiling, supportive demeanor that made me feel at ease. The suggestions Kelly offered were helpful and the various articles she shared and responses to my journal entry thoughtful and relevant. Sessions with Kelly came to feel like I was talking to a trusted friend. I highly recommend her.
I have been talking to Kelly for a few weeks now and it seems like she always knows what to say. I feel very safe and comfortable opening up to her.
She is accommodating, and she listens. I love that she offers insight and doesn't just side with me and offers solutions instead of agreement. I have only done two sessions with her, and I feel much better about myself.
Very rad lady. Someone you feel you can talk to without judgement of words.
I only had two sessions with Kelly by now, but already feel trust bond. Kelly is a very attentive professional, who's taking your concerns seriously & leaves you with a feeling of support after the sessions. I find Kelly's recommendations really valuable & definetely want to continue wokring with Kelly as my therapist.
She is awesome
