Kelly Germaine Strickland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who earned her Masters Degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Kelly has been in practice for 15+ years. During her graduate work she specialized in providing mental health therapy to children, including interventions for anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, obsessions/compulsions, depression, difficult life transitions, grief/loss, building social skills, trauma recovery, and other family-related issues such as coping with divorce. She has experience working with children with disabilities and/or neurodivergence (e.g. ADHD, Autism, OCD) that can often coincide with other mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.

Kelly worked for a number of years in clinic and school-based settings before opening her own private practice in 2015. In addition to working with children, Kelly also has extensive experience in providing support to adolescents, adults, and families and tends to find the best outcomes when working with the family as a whole when possible.

I am an out of network provider, and my services may be eligible for reimbursement from health insurance companies. You can determine if you have “out of network” benefits by contacting your insurance company directly to ask if they reimburse for out-of-network mental health services. It’s helpful to find out the specifics of your mental health coverage with your insurance company(ies) by asking questions such as:

  • Is there a deductible?

  • How many visits per year are covered?

  • Is authorization required?

  • Which services are covered? (CPT codes that typically clients ask about are 90834, 90837, 90846, and 90847.)

You have the right to pay for your services without seeking insurance reimbursement in order to avoid the problems described above, including having a mental health diagnosis shared with your insurance company.
