We believe it takes courage to face the fear, and we recognize it can be difficult and sometimes everyone needs a little help.
Get to Know Me

Hi! I’m Kelly Thompson LMHC, the owner of Strong Minds In Motion. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
I have a master’s degree in counseling and I am licensed to practice in the State of NY.
My main focus is on helping adults who experience anxiety and depression.
Symptoms can leave people feeling exhausted, stuck, irritable, overwhelmed and powerless.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (how our thoughts influence how we feel and behave), along with mindfulness, and Solution Focused Therapy (to help you set the goals and see future you want) to get people moving in the right direction.
I believe this journey is collaborative and takes work. The sessions are not passive, you are a participant in your treatment. I provide education about the symptoms and we build a toolbox of skills. This can help to cultivate a sense of hope and willingness to learn; or simply, to look at things from a different point of view.
Often times the skills and lessons learned in session will be applied outside the session to help you recognize when and where change happens in real time. Then we discuss what was helpful or what needs work.
This is a collaborative effort, we work together to set your goals, find the pattern that keeps you stuck, challenge that pattern, make the changes and move forward with a sense of peace and hope.
