Brenna Kelley, MS ATR-P
Hi I’m Brenna! I am a master’s level clinician and certified provisional Art Therapist (ATR-P). I currently work with a variety of ages but work best with children (ages 4-12) and adolescents (ages 13-18). I have experience working with a variety of diagnoses such as schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder, as well as with those that have experienced grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, and depression. With my previous role specifying in behavioral health, I have extensive experience with the use of token boards, positive/negative consequences/reinforcements, and ABC data to find the root of behaviors and find solutions that best suit families. I specialize in transferring skills to families to aid in home life and create the best possible outcomes for the therapeutic experience.
Samantha Tomlinson, M.S.
