Niche Specialty©: Christian Counselors. I believe in treating the whole person not only spirtual issues but also physical, emotional, relational, etc...
Location: Office is located at intersection of 405 and 167 Freeways in downtown Renton, Washington. Building is the 451 Plaza at corner of Lind Ave and SW 10th Street.
General Practice Area: I work with clients dealing with a variety of clinical issues, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, premarital and marital distress, adolescent adjustment, and other general issues related to the struggles of daily living. I believe in a client centered approach to counseling, where the therapist and client work together as “partners” to address client issues. I have an eclectic bag of “tools” that I utilize in client sessions, most grounded in cognitive-behavioral theory. My main goal in any clinical relationship is to help my clients cope with current distress, identify faulty thinking and unhealthy patterns of behavior, learn and assimilate new coping skills, and ultimately achieve desired change. Additionally, I attempt to treat the “whole” person in the counseling session, focusing attention on physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual issues. If you are seeking help for the journey, please visit our website for further information. And, please note that our office is able to bill most insurance companies for services rendered.

258 SW 43rd Street, Suite #3A, Renton, WA 98057
Location: My office is down the hill from Valley Medical Center and one Block East of IKEA.
General Practice Area: Kelly Bennett Consulting is mental health therapy and energy medicine in Renton, Washington. My clinical approach is Client-Centered which means that each person is the expert in their healing process and has the capacity to find their own answers. It is my job to help guide and assist the person in finding the self-sustaining tools to navigate through life's challenges. My specialty and focus is working with women, parents (not necessarily parenting), and children on issues such as depression, grief and loss, behavior challenges, and relationships. I combine traditional mental health modalities with non-traditional mental health approaches. This means that sometimes talk therapy is suggested, other times non-traditional approaches to mental health such as energy healing, culturally based therapies, or relaxation and stress release therapies. I recently started integrating Energy Psychology modalities such as Energy Freedom Technique (EFT), Thought Field Therapy (TFT), and Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT).
I am also a Reiki Master Healer. Reiki is an alternative and complimentary healing method. Reiki (pronounced Ray Key) is a combination of two Japanese words rei and ki meaning universal life energy. Reiki is an ancient laying-on of hands healing technique that uses the life force energy to heal, balancing the subtle energies within our bodies. Reiki addresses physical, emotional, mental and spiritual inbalances. [ Email Kelly Bennett Aurdahl ] [ Go to counselor - therapist website ]
