Kelley Delchamps, LMSW
My name is Kelley, and I’m glad you’re here. Going to therapy is courageous and rewarding. I believe everyone can benefit from therapy, as we all face challenges in this imperfect life. My hope is to create a safe, authentic, and accepting space for you to be fully yourself as you share your story.
Specialties: Trauma, anxiety disorders (general, obsessive-compulsive, and panic); faith/spirituality, spiritual trauma, depression, third-culture/missionary dynamics, stress, self-esteem, grief and loss, life-transitions, work-life balance.
My vision is to journey with clients as we lean into the truth that our brokenness can lead to resilience and become a masterpiece.
I use an integrative approach, drawing from evidence-based theories in sessions tailored to your needs and goals. I prioritize client feedback and self-determination at the forefront of our work together. I most often integrate person-centered theory, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, attachment theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems in sessions.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and am amazed by its effectiveness in recovery from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. Being a witness to healing through EMDR is a great joy of mine. I would be honored to hold space for you as you process trauma through EMDR.
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Georgia and Alabama. I have a Master’s Degree in Social work, clinical concentration, from Samford University. Prior to graduate school, I got my bachelor’s in Human Services, concentration in Case Management, and a certificate in Child Advocacy Studies from Kennesaw State University. I have a variety of internship experiences in family reunification, domestic violence advocacy, family court, and clinical mental health counseling in an employee assistance program. I also have experience providing the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) assessment tool in an outpatient substance use treatment program. Additionally, I spent three years working as a Residence Life Coordinator at Samford University, and love working with college students.
In addition to counseling, I serve with a non-profit organization working in Kenya with a mission to provide training, accountability, and resources to help Kenyan nationals realize their God-given visions for equipping and empowering their communities. I am passionate about sustainable community development, and Kenya is my favorite place to travel. I am also a yoga instructor in Atlanta and value the way yoga integrates with mental health.
For free time and self-care, I enjoy time in nature, yoga, talks with friends, time with family, and attempting new recipes. My faith is integral to who I am, and I welcome working with people of any faith background.
Though healing is challenging, and certainly not linear, I believe it is well worth pursuing. I would consider it an honor to walk with you.
