For the last five years my professional experience includes working with adolescents, families, individuals, couples, and foster youth in a variety of settings. Also, I have extensive experience with dual diagnosis adults that include a variety of diagnostic criteria including Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Substance Abuse. This has included an assortment of clients including self-referrals and mandated individuals. As an added note I was a military spouse for 10 years. I understand how difficult the military lifestyle is and I have also worked with teens and children who needed various support pertaining to deployments, moves, etc. Finally, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in the state of Virginia, license #0717001347, New York, license #001223 and California, license #99926. |

Maureen Kelleher, ATR, LPC
Education and Experience I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Connecticut College in 2003. In 2012, I earned my Master of Science degree in Art Therapy and Counseling from Eastern Virginia Medical School. While at EVMS, I had the opportunity to examine in greater depth art-based assessment of attachment as related to treating eating disorders. Following this, I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training and have had the opportunity to develop and lead specialized trauma-informed yoga classes for children. I am a life-long military child as well as a military spouse and have served local military families. As such, I possess an understanding of the unique challenges and rewards of military life. For the past five years, I have served the Hampton Roads community, primarily working with adolescents and young children and their families in a variety of settings including the home, school, medical, and psychiatric settings. My expertise encompasses trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, body-image, grief/loss, behavioral strategies, and stress-management. My approach is holistic and client-centered. I am passionate about empowering the client--through the creative process as well as through traditional counseling techniques--to access their inner source of wisdom and healing to promote wellness and growth and the union of mind, body, and spirit. Art Therapy Art therapy combines the creative process with traditional counseling techniques ("talk therapy") to support healing, self-awareness, and spiritual and psychological growth. In an art therapy session, an art therapist--a master's level or higher trained clinician-- works collaboratively with a client or group of clients to reach a wide scope of therapeutic goals. Art therapy is process-focused; clients need not fear about "not being good at art." No artistic experience is necessary to benefit. Art therapy is appropriate for all ages and is used in a growing number of settings. Virginia Licensed Professional Counselor #0701006720 |
