Kristen Pelfrey, MA, LMHC
I am the owner and founder of Pelfrey Counseling Inc. I am a passionate and down to earth therapist with 30+ years of experience. I work with adolescents beginning at age 16 through adulthood. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced developmental trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. I utilize an individualized approach that incorporates aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Somatic Experiencing, Gentle Reprocessing, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) within a safe and supportive space.

Natasha McLeod, MA, RDMT
I am a master's-level clinician and registered dance movement therapist with over four years of experience supporting individuals from early childhood through late adulthood.
Education
- Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) at Lesley University
- Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Dance & Performance Studies at Roger Williams University
My clinical experience spans a variety of mental health settings, including group homes, pediatric behavioral clinics, and the adult in-patient hospitalization program at McLean Hospital. I have worked with individuals managing anxiety, panic disorder, health anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, and those on the autism spectrum, tailoring support to their unique needs.
Therapeutic Approach
I integrate traditional therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) to provide a holistic, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach. This integration honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit, bringing the often-overlooked physical and emotional aspects of healing into the therapeutic process.
What you can expect from a session
I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in kinesthetic empathy, mutual trust, and respect. I aim to empower clients to explore their whole selves, including their lived experiences, and develop adaptive ways to cope and heal. I believe each person is the expert on their own life, and my role is to guide and support their journey toward growth and well-being in ways that best suit their individual needs.
