ABOUT KELLEE
Meet Kellee
I’m Kellee (with two E’s), a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Wild Transformations, a psychotherapy practice rooted in compassionate, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care.
My career in mental health began in 2008, and I’ve supported individuals across a variety of settings including hospitals, community mental health centers, addiction and recovery programs, and LGBTQ community services. These experiences shaped my belief that healing happens when people are given space to explore their identities, reconnect with their values, and feel supported through life’s meaningful transitions.
One area of my work I feel especially passionate about is the use of therapeutic ritual to help people integrate significant life experiences. After the birth of my second child, I participated in a Closing of the Bones ritual, a traditional postpartum ceremony practiced across many cultures. The experience helped me process a complicated birth story, reconnect with my body, and have my pain and points of pride be witnessed by some of my closest friends, and it ultimately inspired me to incorporate therapeutic ritual into my work as a therapist.
Today, alongside psychotherapy, I offer therapeutic rituals that support transitions such as postpartum healing and gender affirmation. These experiences combine reflection, intentional ceremony, and community witnessing to help people integrate important life moments. I have also presented on Using Ceremony to Support Maternal Mental Health and enjoy speaking with birthing centers, wellness spaces, yoga studios, and medical providers interested in the intersection of ritual and mental health.
Outside the therapy room, I’m often attempting to meal prep but instead get pulled into the next room where I instead end up joyfully playing doctor with my 2 year old on our cat, laughing at my 4 year old’s most recent musings, or having a dance party in our living room, relegating dinner to Dino Buddies once again! I also enjoy practicing yoga, cuddling with my spouse and our cat watching the newest post-apocolyptic show, and dreaming of my next hike. Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working as a barista, so I still appreciate a really good cup of coffee and the conversations that happen over it.
“The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.”

My Approach
My work is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and deeply relational.
Together we explore the experiences that shape who you are, the systems and identities that influence your life, and the values that guide your decisions. My goal is to help you reconnect with your own strengths so that you can feel more grounded, confident, and inspired about your life.
I believe meaningful change rarely happens overnight. Instead, it unfolds through curiosity, courage, and supportive relationships.
At Wild Transformations, diversity is celebrated and all aspects of identity are welcomed into the therapeutic space.
