About me
I am a licensed Clinical social worker in New York with over 25 years of professional work experience centering on individuals, couples, children and families in all dynamics and situations. I hold certifications in trauma, ADHD and child abuse.
I work with couples' to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment or ridicule. I will challenge you to think out of the box and help you identify tools and supports that lead to success. I will call you on patterns and inconsistencies I observe and together we will find the functions of behavior.
Everyone has the ability to live a beautiful and complete life together but sometimes you need a little help to get there. Together we will identify areas of distress and build a functioning toolbox of things that you can easily access to insure your happiness and success in your union. We will work on positive reciprocal communication where we will learn to listen to hear and not to just respond.
I work with couples to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy with each other. I will help you identify patterns that are harmful and helpful and use the foundation of love to move you forward.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cira Kelley. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Cira Kelley is exceptional. I came to her because of marital discourse , and pointing the finger at my spouse. Within the first session, she kindly but firmly let me know I was not as innocent as I thought. My style of communication was trash, and that I was not hearing my spouse. We both had issues we needed to address individually and as a couple. A few months later we are working on our relationship and ourselves.
Cira is always available via text, and is flexible with scheduling. If you want a therapist that is going to give it to you straight no chaser. .....then look no further. Cira is the one.
