Kellee Watkins, LCSW

Guiding adults through personal and professional challenges with compassion, cultural awareness, and evidence-based strategies.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Career Services Provider (CCSP), and Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF), I bring a holistic and integrated approach to both career development and mental health counseling. My practice is grounded in the belief that growth in one area of life paves the way for growth in all others—whether you’re feeling overwhelmed at work, seeking more meaningful relationships, or navigating a major life transition.

Having faced and overcome obstacles in my own career and spiritual journey, I understand firsthand how difficult it can be to balance ambition, wellbeing, and authenticity. I use my experiences, training, and empathy to create a supportive, welcoming space where every client feels truly heard—no judgment, just understanding and encouragement.

I specialize in helping adults build on their unique strengths, cultivate resilience, and create actionable strategies for lasting change. My clients include professionals exploring new paths, individuals coping with workplace stress, and anyone looking to foster confidence in both their work and personal lives. My approach emphasizes practical, evidence-based tools and deeply personalized support; together, we’ll identify what matters most to you and develop a path forward that honors your values and goals.

If you’re ready for change—at work, at home, or within—let’s collaborate to turn challenges into opportunities for growth and fulfillment.
