Kelly Ketelaar, LPC

Manhattan, IL

Licensed Professional Counselor

I am a licensed professional counselor with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lewis University. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, seniors, couples, and families in both individual and group settings. Throughout my career, I’ve supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, eating disorders, self-esteem issues, phobias, and substance abuse. I also bring extensive knowledge and experience in fitness, personal training, and nutrition coaching to my work.

My approach to therapy is always tailored to the individual. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is more important than any single treatment modality when it comes to creating meaningful change. I invite my clients to develop a clearer understanding of their feelings and behaviors, and I work to create a space where they feel safe, comfortable, and able to build trust—not only with me, but with themselves. My goal is to help each person explore options, discover potential solutions, and find what works best for them, at their own pace.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy has been a true game changer in my practice. It allows me to help clients experience relief from stress, trauma, and other mental health challenges in a relatively short amount of time.
