ABOUT Kelly Phillips, MDiV, LCSW

Drawn to the intersection of spirituality and mental health, Kelly found the utmost joy in listening to people’s stories. She began her career as a student youth pastor and later worked as a community-based mental health therapist. Prior to joining The Summit, she worked in private practice in Brookhaven, GA. She has had the privilege of working alongside individuals, couples, and families dealing with relationship issues, grief and loss, life transitions, addiction, and various personal concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, and other behavioral challenges. As part of her work, she is committed to working with individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ or anyone questioning/exploring their gender identity.

Kelly utilizes an integrative approach with her clients to explore the negative effects of stressful or traumatic life experiences that get in the way of achieving their goals. She has advanced training in trauma-informed care and evidence-based practices. Through her work with children and adolescents, she has found that understanding attachment and the caregiver relationship is vital to helping families function more effectively. Caregivers are incorporated throughout the course of therapy.

A lifelong learner, she attends many continuing education workshops each year and reads books and professional journals related to mental health, therapy, nutrition, and wellness. She has also facilitated grief support groups and co-presented trauma-informed workshops to other mental health professionals.
