Hi there! I'm Kelly Younkins, the driving force behind Kelly Younkins Consulting, LLC. I've been deeply involved in mental health since 2005, wearing many hats as a Clinician, Clinical Supervisor, Educator, and Consultant. My journey included becoming formally educated, trained, and licensed as an Independently Licensed Clinician in Clinical Mental Health in Ohio since 2009.
What sets my approach apart is my belief in a holistic, systemic, people-centered perspective. I don't just see clients as cases; I see them as whole individuals, considering all aspects that contribute to their well-being. Beyond my consulting work for organizations, I also serve as the Mental Performance Coach and Wellness Consultant at Joel Younkins Training, a private training facility founded by my husband in NEOhio. I help individuals, athletes and racers improve and maintain their overall well-being through assessment and personalized planning.Together, we're passionate about collaborating with like-minded individuals to promote health and wellness initiatives locally and globally. My mission is to offer a range of services, products, and events that empower individuals to take charge of their well-being. I'm particularly proud of Founding NorthEast Ohio's 1st Mental Health & Wellness Expo, along with creating the "Mental Health Check-Up"; a personalized mental health service aimed at making mental well-being a top priority. Through targeted assessments, EVB tools and inventories, we can assess and collaboratively create custom wellness path for you. I help people invest in their health just like an annual physical. My vision is for people to seek someone like me long before the proverbial 'check engine light' comes on! If you're ready to embark on a journey of personal growth and well-being, I'm here to guide you. Let's work together to create the life you envision through education, support, insight, resource linkage, and skill development. Remember, manifesting positive change requires attention and intention, and I'm here to help you stay laser-focused on your desired results.
Join me in reshaping the narrative of Behavioral Healthcare by investing in your emotional health just as you would any other aspect of your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Together, we can remove traditional barriers to mental health and make well-being accessible to all.
