Kelli Steele, Owner
Clinical Mental Health Counselor
Hello! I am Kelli Steele, the owner of Renew Resilience Counseling, LLC. My hope in beginning this counseling collective is to bring quality, evidence-based services to our local communities.
​
I have been a counselor for over 11 years, and have loved seeing growth and change in the clients I work with. My earlier experiences in the mental health field involved supervising and managing residential treatment centers for adolescents. It was in this setting where I grew my admiration for the counseling profession. I pursued my master's degree at the University of Phoenix, achieving a Master of Science in Counseling Degree.
Upon graduation, I met my husband and moved to Kansas where I became a counselor for Family Preservation. My role was to provide in-home counseling services to families struggling with various life circumstances. I then spent 5 years as a counselor for the Western Kansas Child Advocacy Center, working with children who had experienced significant trauma, physical abuse, and sexual abuse. I then decided to pave my own path, and started Renew Resilience Counseling, LLC., upon moving back to Utah in 2020. I have been running this private practice for over 4 years now and look forward to many more years of practice!
​
I am very client-based in my approach, using various skills and treatment modalities, tailored to fit where the client is currently at. I am a master practitioner of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), am certified as a Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (TF-CBT), trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and have completed Gottman Training - Level 1. I have also done extensive trainings in Play Therapy and Sandtray. My goal is to help every client feel welcome, prioritized, and assist them in finding their strengths.
​
When I have a bit of free time, I love to go fishing and hiking; or basically anything outdoors. I love a good true crime show and can get wrapped up in psychological thriller books. I value time with friends and family, and always look forward to vacations on a beach!
