About

Kelly Tobey, MSW, LCSW

Finding the right therapist for you is essential for treatment to be effective. I am a solo, independent practitioner (#LCS17999), Board Certified Diplomate, and I specialize in individual therapy and counseling (ages 16-59) for depression, anxiety, grief and loss ( especially loss of mother). I was trained and educated at UCLA, and have practiced therapy for the past 23 years. I view the therapy process as a collaborative one. My approach is authentic, straightforward, down to earth, solution- focused and nonjudgmental. Other issues/concerns addressed on a regular basis include: improving self-esteem, adjustment/ transition to college, assertiveness, communication skills, midlife concerns, and stress management and stress reduction.

By utilizing a blend of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic therapy, and Mindfulness cognitive strategies, my goal is to help alleviate troublesome symptoms, improve interpersonal relationships and resolve issues as quickly as feasibly possible, while being able to practice skills outside of the therapy session.

They make an extra effort to get to know their patients and find out what they need. They always remember me and make me feel very important. They are completely committed to helping me as long as it takes to find the best solution. I never have to worry that they'll back out or give up if a solution isn't reached immediately. Kelly is wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her.
