Yvonne Kelly

Yvonne is a mental health professional who provides psychological services under the supervision of a registered psychologist.

At the present time, Yvonne along with her husband Rick, specialize in working primarily with stepfamilies and blended families. She provides support and counseling to individuals, couples or families either in-person or over the phone (or through a combination of approaches). Groups, workshops and phone-support networks are also made available for stepfamilies, blended families, and the individuals in these families.

Yvonne's approach with clients is based on an educational and organizational model. She focuses on:

1. Increasing awareness of stepfamily dynamics,
2. Establishing new family structures that promote healthy development of the new stepfamily or blended family,
3. Enhancing understanding of the issues and each other, and
4. Developing the new skills that individuals and couples need in their step family or blended family.

Yvonne also utilizes cognitive behavioral approaches that enhance clients’ abilities to reframe their situations, cope with and meet the challenges, understand their own reality and gain a new sense of autonomy and control in their lives. She works with individuals (biological parents, stepmothers and stepfathers), couples, and families and also offers specialized services for children in blended families.

Full-day Intensive Couple Workshops are available upon request.

Those who can benefit from Yvonne’s services include both stepparents, biological parents and couples experiencing persistent problems in their stepfamily life, couples wanting to prepare ahead of time for life in a step or blended family, or families that simply want to improve their overall functioning and succeed at merging two family systems together. Counseling may also be for an individual who is struggling in the situation and wants to start with counseling for just him/herself or for those in a situation where they are the only one identifying an issue or the only one choosing to work on it at this time.
