Welcome!
I’m Kelli Haxel, a therapist with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. I work with adults and adolescents navigating life stressors such as major life transitions, trauma, and the deep attachment wounds that often accompany these experiences. I also have experience supporting individuals with substance use disorders and a wide range of mental health challenges.
In our work together, I offer a safe, embodied, and present space where you can bring all parts of yourself. I believe that every person carries within them the capacity for healing when given the opportunity to be seen, heard, and accepted. One of my favorite reminders comes from Rumi: “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” This speaks to the heart of my work…transforming pain into a path toward growth and wholeness.
As a storyteller, I hold deep respect for where you have come from, and I also hold a vision for where you can go, even when it feels out of reach. For me, therapy is sacred work, and it is an honor to walk alongside you in this journey.

the fun stuff
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the corporate world and later stepped away to raise my two children. I understand firsthand the challenges that can come with pausing a career to focus on family, and I find meaning in supporting those who are navigating the transition of returning to the workforce or redefining their path.

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
