✨ Brandy Kelley Counseling, PLLC is proud to sponsor The Climb – Team Effingham again this year! ✨
As a therapist specializing in perinatal mental health, I am honored to support an event that raises awareness, builds community, and reminds families they are not alone. The Climb, through Postpartum Support International (PSI), brings attention to the emotional journeys so many experience during pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting.
At Brandy Kelley Counseling, I work with clients navigating:
✔️ Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders
✔️ Pregnancy and infant loss
✔️ Birth trauma
✔️ Postpartum OCD and anxiety
✔️ Life transitions and parenting stress
If you or someone you love is struggling, know that healing is possible — and support is available. Learn more at brandykelleycounseling.com.

🌿 We’re proud to announce that Brandy Kelley Counseling, PLLC will once again be sponsoring The Climb – Team Effingham this year! 🌿

As a perinatal mental health therapist, this cause is deeply personal and incredibly important to me. I work every day with individuals navigating pregnancy, postpartum, loss, trauma, and the complex emotions that can come with these seasons of life. Supporting The Climb means supporting awareness, connection, and healing for parents and families in our community.

Through therapy, I help clients find hope, build resilience, and move forward — one step at a time. You can learn more about my work and offerings at brandykelleycounseling.com.

Let’s continue to shine a light on maternal mental health, together. 💛

🎉Brandy Kelley Counseling is officially ONE YEAR OLD!🎉

It’s hard to put into words how grateful I feel looking back on this past year. When I opened the doors to Brandy Kelley Counseling, I hoped to create a space where people could feel safe, supported, and truly seen—and thanks to you, that vision became a reality.

To my clients: thank you for trusting me to walk alongside you through some of the most tender, challenging, and transformative moments of your lives. It’s an honor I don’t take lightly.

In this first year, I’ve had the opportunity to attend incredible trainings to continue growing as a clinician, deepening my skills to better support the people I work with. I also had the privilege of co-leading *The Climb – Team Effingham*, an event close to my heart that supports Postpartum Support International (PSI). I’m deeply committed to their mission and to helping families in our community navigate the perinatal journey with compassion and care.

Here’s to continued growth, connection, and healing in year two. Thank you for being a part of this journey. 💙
