Kelly Plouffe, LMFT, CCTP

For an incredible span of 30 years, I've had the privilege of working with children and adults who've faced the challenges of trauma, particularly those who've endured abuse and neglect. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, my goal is to use only the most evidence based and effective techniques that truly make a difference. These techniques include the power of Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), the transformative Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), the guiding light of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,  and the core of Family Systems approaches – all of which have consistently yielded unbelievable success stories throughout my career. 

It fills me with immense pride to share that I've been recognized as a trusted authority in domains such as Child Abuse, Trauma, Sexual Abuse, and Attachment and Bonding within the court systems of Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando, and Hillsborough counties. Over the last three decades, my passion has led me to become a community education trainer, assisting incredible individuals ranging from local law enforcement and Child Protective Investigators to Guardian-Ad-Litem champions, schools, and the compassionate professionals providing community-based care. The ripple effect of this education extends not just across our local community, but also the wider scope of our great state and even the welcoming halls of local universities.

I previously held the role of Clinical and Operations Director of the Children's Advocacy Center where as a Department of Health Qualified Supervisor for Marriage and Family Therapists as well as Mental Health Clinicians I was blessed to nurture and guide the upcoming generation of healers and helpers. My journey has led me to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to my practice, where the focus remains on helping people triumph over trauma. I have gained a reputation for helping our First Responders –  law enforcement, firefighters, teachers, nurses and others in medical roles who courageously navigate trauma's impact every single day – I'm truly honored to play a role in their journey toward healing.
