I have had the privilege of working with Jillian in multiple therapeutic settings, and I can confidently say that she is the first person I would refer clients to for care. She is a fantastic child/adolescent therapist who has experience working with children from all walks of life. Jillian is an incredibly skilled clinician who is able to strike the difficult balance of being both empathic and non-judgmental, while also being able to challenge and push her clients towards change at a pace that is comfortable for them. She has tremendous experience working with kids who have experienced complex trauma, and she is always using the most relevant evidenced based treatment modalities. Jillian has a knack for quickly building meaningful relationship with the children she works with, and for created individualized treatment plans based on each childs unique presentation. Jillian is the most genuine, caring, thoughtful, and dedicated clinician I have had the pleasure to know. I highly recommend referring to Asheville Child Therapy.

Jillian supported our daughter while she was undergoing a year of chemotherapy treatments. She helped her develop a variety of coping skills for managing the fear, anxiety, and pain that accompanied her condition. Our daughter looked forward to every session with Jillian, and their work together helped her to navigate through all the emotional and social complexity of being a middle schooler who is fighting a challenging disease. We cannot thank Jillian enough for being part of our daughters care team.

Having worked with Jillian Kelly, I was able to witnessed first hand her interactions with children and their families. Jillian is indeed one of the best child therapist there is. She is empathetic, knowledgeable and fun. She makes amazing connections with both children and their parents which helps the client feel safe and heard.

I can not say enough positive things about working with Jillian. She has a gentle but brilliant touch working with children and parents. I wholeheartedly believe in the power of play therapy to help children, and Jillian is the absolute best. :)

Jillian is truly wonderful and able to connect with children in a way that helps them to see the best in themselves. She is warm, kind-hearted, and funny, and wants the best for her patients. Highly recommend Jillian if you or a family member is in need of behavioral healthcare.

From the perspective of someone who has known Jillian since she was small, I cannot speak more highly of someones character, kindness, and warmth. She was born to work with children and is very attuned to behaviour, and how to support and heal during tough times.
