Hi, I'm Kelly

I’m glad you’re here! Anchor & Bell was created to offer a counseling space where people feel comfortable identifying and working through the real challenges of life.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people from many different backgrounds and life circumstances. Those experiences have shaped the way I approach counseling. You'll find I meet you with attentiveness, curiosity, and respect for your story.

My Christian faith is an important part of my life and informs the compassion and care I bring to my work. Clients who wish to incorporate faith into counseling are welcome to do that in this space, but people from all beliefs and backgrounds are equally welcome.

Outside of my work, I enjoy running, reading, and exploring Colorado with my husband and two children.

Experience

Kelly Poag is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 17 years of experience in social work and clinical counseling. She is EMDR-trained and specializes in attachment-focused and trauma-informed care for individuals, couples, and families.

Her professional background includes work in a variety of clinical settings, providing support to clients navigating complex trauma, relational challenges, and significant life transitions. She has an integrative approach to counseling which blends relational depth with evidence-based therapeutic methods.

Areas of experience include:

EMDR-informed trauma treatment
Behavioral and emotional disabilities in children and adolescents
Intensive family trauma intervention programming
Home-based services through Child Protective Services
Work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing grief and conflict
Outdoor leadership opportunities for college students
Geriatric social work, caregiver stress and support for life transitions

Kelly’s clinical approach centralizes attachment theory, often drawing from psychoanalytic and somatic traditions to help clients understand the emotional and relational dimensions of their experiences.
