Kelley started Speakeasy Therapy in 2014 when patients requested her to continue to work with their child upon graduating from NEIS. Quickly, she discovered the need for quality care with the goal of discharging her patients to the maximum of their abilities through effective and functional “play” therapy. She is passionate about educating the families and collaborating with other specialists to maximize results, while looking at the “whole person” and attempting to determine the “why.” She attends several conferences a year to train in the leading, innovative and effective therapies to further train her staff to continue to provide excellent treatment to her clients. She hired her first staff member in 2015, and currently has over 40 staff due to the growing reputation in the community for treating the staff and the clients, with respect and professionalism, and has already been asked to offer Satellite offices around the city, as well as open another location in 2020.
