Ritual and Wild Transformations
In this episode, Ashley and Morgen sit down with Kellee, founder of Wild Transformations Therapy, to explore how the personal and professional intertwine throughout a therapist's career. Kellee shares her journey from high-caseload agency work to private practice, the hard lessons of setting limits, and how becoming a mother reshaped her sense of balance. The conversation dives into the power of therapeutic rituals — including the closing of the bones ceremony — as a complement to traditional therapy, and how reclaiming her own spirituality has enlivened Kellee's clinical work. The episode also touches on neurodivergent & LGBTQ+ affirming care and the unexpected joy of hip hop dance as self-care.
Guest Bio:
Kellee Myers, LPC, LAC, Clinical Supervisor, EMDR-Certified
After a decade working in various mental health settings, including hospitals, case management organizations, and 90-day residential Intensive Outpatient Programs for adults engaging in substance use recovery, Kellee established her private practice, Wild Transformations Therapy, in 2018.
Her specializations include trauma, anxiety, neurodivergence, and the LGBTQ+ community. Kellee is passionate about using EMDR to help process the remnants of childhood developmental trauma that can get in the way of healthy, fulfilling relationships, as well as providing EMDR supervision.
In addition to EMDR, she is "parts work informed" and trained in AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Processing), a modality that focuses on increasing one's ability to fully feel emotions and be with the parts that come in to protect through shut-down, etc., with curiosity and compassion.
Kellee offers individual therapy, group therapy, clinical supervision, and therapeutic rituals, which are similar to therapy intensives and can help honor and hold space for both grief and celebration during times of big transitions.
Outside of work, Kellee is a proud mamma to a 4-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl, a self-proclaimed cat lover and coffee addict, and her favorite new form of self-care is hip-hop dance classes.
Currently, she has three open spots in a biweekly "LGBTQ+ for 40+" therapy group held on Saturday mornings in Broomfield, as well as openings for therapeutic rituals.
