My name is Kelly Battaglia. I am a Coachella Valley native and a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist with locations in Rancho Mirage and Indian Wells. During my undergraduate studies, I began my work in this field as a behavior therapist, utilizing principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to help children and families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders and other Pervasive Developmental Disabilities. Working closely with families learning to cope and even thrive in the face of new challenges inspired me to get my Master's Degree and become a therapist. Whether you're looking for guidance in a difficult time or you're seeking to empower yourself and head in a new direction in life, I can help you achieve your goals. My approach to therapy is one of compassion combined with the belief in your ability to heal, resolve personal issues, and move forward. I am one of the few therapists in the desert who have been intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) by the Linehan Institute. I offer a comprehensive DBT program, as well as Skills groups.
