Psychotherapist | 25+years of Clinical Experience | Founder of Wellness 51

Hi, I’m Kelly Schiavone, LCSW, founder and owner of Wellness 51!

For more than 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping people through some of life’s most challenging and meaningful moments. Throughout my career, I’ve learned that effective therapy is about more than clinical expertise—it’s also about trust, connection, and having a space where you can truly be yourself.

My career has included outpatient therapy, group homes and residential treatment settings, clinical leadership, and supervising other clinicians. These experiences have shaped my approach as a therapist and helped define my vision for Wellness 51.

I created Wellness 51 because I wanted to build a practice that feels different from the moment you walk through the door—warm, welcoming, and personal, while still providing excellent, accessible, and clinically sound care. I wanted clients to have the opportunity to find a therapist they genuinely connect with, while creating an environment where therapists feel valued, supported, and encouraged to bring their own strengths to the work they do.

At the heart of Wellness 51 is something I’ve believed throughout my career: Your Story Matters. Everyone deserves a place where they can show up as they are, feel heard and understood without judgment, and know they don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

Wellness 51 is more than a therapy practice to me. It represents hope, growth, resilience, and the belief that even during difficult chapters, change is possible.

And the “51” in our name has a story of its own—one that is very close to my heart.
