Kelene Boyd Ed.S., LPSC, NCC is a counselor dedicated to helping children, adults, and families navigate life’s challenges in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Kelene has professional experience working with individuals impacted by trauma, addiction, and substance use, offering compassionate, nonjudgmental support as clients navigate challenges, develop healthy coping skills, and work toward healing and meaningful change. She is also a Restorative Justice trainer, bringing a focus on accountability, restoration, healthy relationships, and the belief that people have the capacity for growth and change. These experiences have strengthened her commitment to creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel respected, understood, and empowered throughout their healing journey.
With a background as a Professional Licensed School Counselor, she specializes in Child-Centered Play Therapy where she uses play as a natural and meaningful way for young clients to express themselves, process difficult experiences, develop healthy coping skills, and build confidence. She has a particular passion for supporting children with developmental differences and helping families strengthen their relationships and connections.
Her therapeutic approach is holistic, client-centered, and tailored to each individual’s unique needs. She integrates a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities because she believes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. By meeting clients where they are, Kelene creates a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel valued, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes.
Outside of her practice, Kelene enjoys spending time with her husband and their two boys. She is actively involved in her church community and values faith, family, and meaningful connection. She considers it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they pursue healing, growth, and hope.
