Kellie Pavlish, Clinical Mental Health Counselor — Counselor in Charlotte, NC

My experience with Kellie has been very beneficial. She is kind, compassionate, and very genuine. She is an excellent clinician who understands best practice while at the same time knowing how to relate to clients and help them feel safe and comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone who needed therapy.

Kellie has a passion for helping people in distress. I have worked closely with Kellie and she is one of the best clinicians I have known in my 40 years of experience in the field of mental health. I would have no hesitation in referring anyone to her.

I had the pleasure of working with Kellie for several years. She is an extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and skilled clinician who is very genuine and compassionate. I highly recommend her as your therapist.

I had the privilege of working with Kellie for a few years, and I cannot recommend her enough. She is an incredibly kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable professional. Her expertise in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is also impressive, and she has a genuine passion for helping others. Throughout our time working together, I saw firsthand how much she cares for her clients, always providing thoughtful, supportive, and evidence-based care. Kellie is not only skilled but also approachable and warm, making her a true asset to anyone seeking therapy. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone looking for DBT or a compassionate therapist to reach out to her. She is exceptional at what she does, and her clients are lucky to have her!

My time with Kellie has been a game changer. We first started working together in a group setting when I was deciding whether or not to leave a 25 year career which I had loved. She was so helpful and compassionate during that process that I continued meeting with her in her private practice when the group had finished. What makes her so special, is that she goes way beyond traditional “talk” therapy where clients look for help, only to be met with “So what do ‘you’ think you should do”? Instead, she listens intently, and works with you to find real world, practical solutions and techniques to help navigate everything from more serious conflicts to the everyday challenges of life. She is a modern day therapist who helps you understand “the why” in a way that old school practices take years to uncover. She is simply terrific and someone whom I view as more than a therapist, but a friend.

Kellie has compassion, communication skills, dependability, and a friendly personality to assist in getting you one step at a time to where you want to be. She will help you see the bright sunshine within you. Even a strong Oak Tree can fall, but the Willow Tree blows in the breeze. Kellie can show you how to come back like Willow Tree, to let things go. She has inspired me.

Kellie is by far the most empathetic, kind and supportive counselor that I have ever encountered. I had the pleasure of learning from her/working alongside her as a nurse practitioner while earning my psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner post master's certification. She demonstrates such passion for her work and goes above and beyond for her clients. As a provider myself, I would not hesitate to refer one of my patients who was in need of counseling to Kellie!

Kellie Pavlish is one of the most compassionate, empathetic and knowledgeable counselors available.

I have had the opportunity to work with Kellie at a private practice (mental health) in Cleveland for a number of years. I found her to be an excellent clinician. She is compassionate, highly competent, and strongly service-oriented. I have referred many clients to her and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled therapist.

Kellie is a professional counselor who establishes great connections with people! She has helped many clients heal and meet their goals. She keeps high standards with her work ethic, and she is a person to trust!
