Meet Kellee Watkins, LCSW
I am Kellee, the owner of Wisdom for the Journey, LLC and, a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of direct practice experience. I am therapist, life coach, and Counselor Education and Supervision PhD candidate committed to helping others reach their full potential. I love traveling, Marvel movies, DC Comics animation, and chocolate. I am an avid reader and if you see me driving don’t be alarmed…that’s just my version of Carpool Karaoke, LOL!
Our Foundation:
1. Authenticity (True Self, Identity, Freedom, Fearlessness)
2. Enoughness (Acceptance, Balance, Fulfillment)
3. Interdependence (Connection, Community, Gratefulness)
4. Meaning (Intention, Purpose, Dreams)
5. Self-Compassion (Grace, Forgiveness, Growth, Love)
6. Expectancy (Hope, Faith)
I earned a bachelor’s degree in Speech Communication from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a master degree in Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis. In trying to find my perfect career, I also completed graduate programs in Human Resources & Industrial Relations and Health Communications. I recently took several classes in theology to further my understanding of spiritual growth and how it impacts identity and culture. I am a Certified Compassion Fatigue Professional and Integrative Wellness coach because I want to help professional caregivers have healthy and long-lasting careers. Teaching others how to achieve wholeness and balance between their personal and professional life is my ultimate goal.
