About Kelly

My name is Kelly Lemos, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) in the State of Colorado and a nationally certified counselor (NCC) through the National Board of Certified Counselors. I received a Master’s Degree in Counseling from University of Colorado Denver in 2015, which also gave me the opportunity to work in a mental health clinical setting. Currently, I am a school counselor at Lakewood High School and work specifically with the 8th to 9th grade transition. This particular position has helped me become specialized in supporting children and adolescents with academics, motivation, behaviors, identity exploration, goals, and the other themes that often surface while growing up.

​

I have a saying that guides my accepting, open and authentic counseling practice - “everyone is simply doing the best they can, with what they have, in that exact moment”. I like to believe that this mindset has helped me support young people in exploring their struggles, resources, and inner-strength. Building a therapeutic relationship is crucially important to the therapeutic process and I create these connections by meeting a client where they are at emotionally and mentally.

​

My approach and lens to counseling is a client-focused, mixture of practices from different theories - solution focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, strength-based, and narrative therapy. I value the uniqueness of each of every client and work with them to figure out the best practice.

​

Life can be overwhelming, especially at an age where there are so many angles of life changing. If you can relate, I would love to chat and support you through the adventures of life.
