Hey, I’m Kellie Solliday, LCSW.
I’m the founder of all together better. Originally from the Midwest, I received my education and training at Tulane University in New Orleans and Emory University in Atlanta. I previously worked at the Tulane Center for Brain Health and current work as an Adjunct Professor in addition to providing therapy. I became a therapist as a second career, with a desire to modernize what treatment is and how it can help people. It’s possible to go through hard sh*t and come out better, stronger, and happier—I’ve had to do so at times in my own life, and would love to help you do the same in yours.
My therapeutic style is warm, down-to-earth, honest, and engaged. I view each person as a unique individual and so much more than your symptoms, your past, or the challenges you may be facing right now. Together, we will come up with a plan that addresses where you are today and also gets you to where you want to be in the future.
[In therapy lingo: I’m a relational psychodynamic therapist who incorporates IFS, Ego State Therapy, DBT, low-energy neurofeedback, and other interventions as needed. I am also trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard for treating OCD, through the highly respected BTTI.]
Reach out today with questions or book a complimentary virtual consult. I look forward to meeting you!
