Creosote Counseling

Creosote is a resilient plant found in the Sonoran Desert. Creosote has been used as a cleansing herb for healing and gifts us with the beautiful smell of desert rain.

Creosote teaches us to trust in growth even when things are hard.

Services

Kelly Rau, LMFT and Founder of Creosote Counseling

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Art Therapist, I provide a safe and nurturing space for clients to explore their past and identify patterns that may be holding them back. Through a collaborative and supportive environment we can embark on a transformative journey towards healing and self-discovery. I believe therapy is an opportunity to get compassionately curious about ourselves and our inner world.

I have extensive experience in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and grief. I am always honored to be a part of any client’s path towards a greater sense of wholeness.

What to expect

Whether you’ve been to therapy before or not, it can often be a nerve-racking experience to unpack parts of yourself and your life with someone new. I realize that building trust takes time, and I aim to offer a space that is comfortable and supportive for your growth. Together we will look at your history, identify repeating cycles, and uncover a clear path to healing.

I have 10 years experience in the field and have worked with clients across all walks of life. No matter where you find yourself, know that I am here to help you reconnect with your resiliency and power.

My office is located in central Phoenix and offers a soothing atmosphere for you to be present with your emotional and physical self. I am also available for virtual sessions.
