Kelly Petravicz, M.Ed., LICSW (She/Her/Hers)

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports children, teens, and young adults navigating challenges such as autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenging behaviors. I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent youth, particularly those with autism, ADHD, and anxiety, and I deeply value understanding each child’s unique strengths and needs.

My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and focuses on helping clients understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in ways that feels accessible and empowering. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative space where both clients and parents feel heard, supported, and understood. I meet children and young people where they are and walk alongside them as they learn practical coping skills, build confidence, and develop tools that can make everyday life feel more manageable and fulfilling.

Kelly has worked in outpatient, community, and school-based settings, which has allowed her to support children across a various settings. She holds master’s degrees in Elementary/Special Education and Clinical Social Work from Notre Dame College and Fordham University. In addition to her therapy work, she provides training for providers and community members on mental health and child development.
