Kelly Schmitt, MS

Counselor

My expertise lies in child development and growth, with a strong focus on mental health. While many of my clients have been on the Autism Spectrum (though this is not a requirement for my clients), they often face social and emotional challenges. My work focuses on helping them explore how their thoughts and behaviors influence outcomes in their lives. I collaborate with clients who are motivated to make meaningful changes, with goals centered around achieving independence, building successful relationships, and fostering happier interactions with the world around them.

As a dedicated behaviorist, my interventions draw heavily from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Gestalt techniques. With over 20 years of experience, my specialty has been supporting individuals with Autism and other special needs, a field I am deeply passionate about.

Outside of work, I am a proud mother of two boys and an avid animal lover. My family includes a service dog and two cats, and I cherish spending time outdoors, connecting with nature. Adventure fuels me—I’m a self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie who enjoys hiking and geocaching. I’ve been happily married to my partner for 13 years, and together, we love traveling and exploring new places. One of my long-term dreams is to train service dogs to assist individuals in need, combining my passion for animals and helping others.
