About me

Hi! Welcome to Focus Friends. I’m Kelli, and I am so glad you’re here! You’ve come a long way, and now it’s time to keep the momentum going. Focus Friends is a safe space to continue your healing journey with a group of people just like you who have no professional training, but have an enormous amount of real-world experience to pull from so we can hold each other up as we navigate this thing called LIFE.

I am a proud graduate of the High Focus PHP and IOP programs. I will tell you, without a doubt I was THE most skeptical and angry person to ever darken the doors of HF. At 52 years old, I truly felt hopeless, defeated, and like that place was my last resort. I had no idea what to expect, so when I walked in and started being handed worksheets, I lost my cool…literally…and started yelling at the therapists and the group. There was NO way, after decades of individual therapy., psychiatry, trying every medication on the market, EMDR, TMS, and medically supervised Ketamine infusions, that some “worksheets” were going to be the end-all be-all for me. It made no sense.

But here I am.

And so are you!

So again, welcome! I’ll be your host and “tour guide” around here, so if you need anything, please feel free to reach out to me and I will do my absolute best to help you or find someone who can!
