Meet Kelly Vourlos, MSW, LGSW - Clinical Social Worker/Therapist

 

Hello, I am Kelly Vourlos. I earned my Master's degree in Social Work from Minnesota State University, Mankato in 2014 and my undergraduate in social work from St. Cloud State in 2000. I also earned my certificate in play therapy from Minnesota State University, Mankato in 2016.

 

I have worked in a variety of settings including outpatient mental health, school social work, and child welfare. I have spent my career working with children of all ages and their families to provide support and improve their well-being.

 

I have been extensively trained in Play Therapy and specialize in working with children, adolescents and young adults. I have extensive experience working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress management issues and working with family systems. I have also been trained in EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, for people who have experienced trauma. 

 

I believe in an empowerment and strength-based model, cognitive behavioral, and solution focused therapies. I also use mindfulness to work on coping and relaxation skills.
