Let me let you in on a secret…you can laugh in therapy. I know it sounds crazy right?! But I’m being completely candid. Some of my favorite moments in my career have been when we can find humor even while carrying our heavy burdens. Our burdens vary. You may be experiencing the loss of a loved one. You might be wondering why you can’t seem to connect with the people around you. Heck, you might be exhausted by the pressure that diet culture and fatphobia put on us. Or you might be struggling with your identity and how you want to present yourself to the world. These are all issues that I have a strong passion for resolving, and I would love to help you with them. I am a passionate, quirky, and fun-loving therapist. I consider myself to be body positive, person-centered, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I work from a non-judgmental, trauma-informed lens utilizing postmodern modalities that are attachment-based, narrative, and relational. Let’s work together to create a haven, where you can feel comfortable and supported. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a88cd79bd6bb2e50c61d6c/1621714138433-BR8IFWFX4CFPAIDZSORK/image+of+door Home │ Kelly Pajares, LPC │ Greenbrier Counseling - LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a88cd79bd6bb2e50c61d6c/1621675077952-HE5RV5P7FKK5Z3IV4ZO9/image+of+door Home │ Kelly Pajares, LPC │ Greenbrier Counseling - Trauma-Informed Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a88cd79bd6bb2e50c61d6c/1621675104610-0UB0P0L4G0WCV0BCNVTU/image+of+door Home │ Kelly Pajares, LPC │ Greenbrier Counseling - Individual Counseling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a88cd79bd6bb2e50c61d6c/1621713921911-T6EKTI0OQAJ97POYK8BZ/image+of+door Home │ Kelly Pajares, LPC │ Greenbrier Counseling - Grief & Loss Support https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a88cd79bd6bb2e50c61d6c/1621706354850-O7T55Y238V40OSH3IXL8/Untitled+design+%283%29.png Home │ Kelly Pajares, LPC │ Greenbrier Counseling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a88cd79bd6bb2e50c61d6c/1621740546026-2WR36KI0UQLF7748E1IR/sincerely-media-gA8iUoWYvTk-unsplash.jpg Home │ Kelly Pajares, LPC │ Greenbrier Counseling https://www.greenbriercounseling.com/services-1 daily 0.75 2022-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a88cd79bd6bb2e50c61d6c/1621743287364-XUEHONPNPP9842SNHWM7/Untitled+design+%2810%29.png Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a88cd79bd6bb2e50c61d6c/1621743435966-PUGFLXC58N0ISCJDUHJD/Untitled+design+%2811%29.png Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a88cd79bd6bb2e50c61d6c/1621743589903-L5EJWB8K6DGFTD8GZV3L/Untitled+design+%2812%29.png Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a88cd79bd6bb2e50c61d6c/1621743730887-89PA2PZPH9TU5OJCEAWS/Untitled+design+%2813%29.png Services https://www.greenbriercounseling.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a88cd79bd6bb2e50c61d6c/1621742532218-XNVY3TTYVWXAEFPXBYL1/Untitled+design+%289%29.png Contact https://www.greenbriercounseling.com/mission-statement-2 daily 0.75 2024-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a88cd79bd6bb2e50c61d6c/1621708657183-MIAY3Q2WPMGW1R6GZH0K/Untitled+design+%285%29.png Mission Statement https://www.greenbriercounseling.com/about-kelly daily 0.75 2024-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a88cd79bd6bb2e50c61d6c/45602ff5-97ae-47c3-af81-950bf1f6591a/Screenshot+2024-11-02+at+2.52.02%E2%80%AFPM.png About Kelly Kelly is a born and raised Austinite.
