Life is full of transitions, transitions that can be challenging, overwhelming, and full of uncertainty.  And even some of the most wonderful changes can feel heavy.  Whether you are starting a new school, have become a new parent, going through a divorce, grieving the loss of a loved one or dealing with a change that has made it difficult for you function on a day to day and enjoy life, you can still learn new skills to face these challenges in a safe space with a person who understands and supports you.

I would love to share some of my tools with you for dealing with life’s challenges.  My name is Kelly Hagerstrom, I am a licensed mental health counselor in Rhode Island.  I completed a Master’s in Holistic Counseling and a Certificate in Advanced Studies in Expressive and Creative Arts.  I have worked in different settings for the past decade including in a residential program for teens, in a high school, home-based and outpatient.  I have also worked in a group home setting for adults struggling with both mentally and medically intensive needs such as diabetes, dementia, and cancer.  

I provide individual, couples, and family counseling.  I also enjoy providing group therapies such as nature therapy and expressive and creative art groups.   I have a variety of tools that I use from CBT, DBT, MI, and expressive and creative arts modalities.  I believe that creativity can be an incredible tool in exploring our emotions and processing trauma.   Start your journey to healing and change with me today.
