Hi there!

My name is Kelley Ward and I am an admin assistant and future counselor. I have the privilege to your first point of contact at our office. I know it takes courage to reach out for a counselor so my hope is that you feel heard and helped in each experience you have with Rivers Edge. My desire is to provide a welcoming environment and calm point of contact. We will work together to match you with a great counselor. Rivers Edge is such a collaborative and caring team of mental health professionals to work with. I look forward to smoothing out the process for you so you can begin to heal and thrive. 

My aim is to bring healing and hope not only during your intake process but also as a counselor. I start seeing clients in May 2025. I have spent most of my career in the medical field as a nurse both in the US and Canada. My experience as a nurse has allowed me to work with young and older. It has given me a unique window into the joys and pains of new life and the despair of those departing. In addition to that I am a proud mother and wife.

Perinatal clients and women in general are my specialties. I am also quite gifted at bringing a sense of calm to many who are experiencing heightened emotions. On the whole, my hope is to bring a sense of peace and hope to those in hard places. If that is you, we might be a good match! I am able to see many whose budgets don't allow for the higher rates of other therapists. If that's you or someone you know please give us a call. I'm starting to book clients soon!

I will be supervised by Tyler Sullins, LPC-Supervisor as I complete my graduate degree at Liberty University.
