Hi, my name is Debra Kelley. This website is designed to help answer many common questions. Choosing a counselor is an important decision. I hope this site will help you.
I hold a Masters degree in counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am also nationally certified in the field of counseling.
I have been in private practice in Rapid City since 1998, and prior to that time was associated with an agency in Rapid City. I enjoy being in private practice because I can really do what I want to do in terms of working with people, scheduling, new ideas and training, etc.
Prior to counseling, I was in business for several years. I am divorced and remarried and have a daughter in her early twenties. I have lots of interests that include hiking, reading, plants, music, art, traveling, and anything involving the water! I have lived in Rapid City for fifteen years and in the Black Hills as a child. I love this area and plan to make it my permanent home.
I hope this website will be helpful in giving you information about me and my counseling practice. From time to time I will add new features on subjects such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, time management, communication, assertiveness, etc. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for how I might make this site more helpful. Take good care!
