About Aidan Kelly

You know yourself better than anyone else. My job is to help you develop the tools to choose your own path.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent 12 years working in animal husbandry. My volunteer and work experience at the Beardsley Zoo and the Maritime Aquarium involved caring for animals (my favorite: a Yellow-crowned Amazon parrot) and teaching students and visitors about wildlife conservation. That work taught me to turn complex science into something anyone can understand. In therapy, you’ll learn how anxiety, depression, and ADHD actually work in your brain and body, and then we’ll build tools that fit the way you think.

I work with children, teens, young adults, and adults, including those facing work stress, burnout, and climate anxiety.

Using CBT, DBT skills, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness, we’ll practice grounding skills for anxious moments, build systems that work with an ADHD brain, and grow your confidence in social situations. When it feels like nothing can go right, I’ll help you find what still can.

Our first session is about your story and a roadmap for therapy. I earned my MSW from Fairfield University. Off the clock, I’m running, building in Minecraft, keeping up with One Piece, or cooking penne alla vodka for the people I care about.
