Kelly Henriques

Kelly graduated with her Bachelor's degree in English Literature from DePaul University in Chicago, IL and went on to receive her Master's degree in Secondary Education from Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, PA. She is a certified teacher and served as a high school English teacher with a focus on mindfulness meditation and compassionate communication in the classroom. She sits on the Board of Trustees for her local Waldorf School and actively participates in the vision to build more inclusive communities. She is a trained Executive Function Coach and has acted as an Educational Leader for a team of Executive Function Coaches serving early childhood through adulthood.

Kelly’s deepest passion is to support learners in their blossoming and to collaborate with families and caregivers to support their continued growth. She uses a holistic and whole-person approach with her clients and specializes in working with both youth and adults on self-advocacy, emotional regulation, and organizational strategies. She utilizes a strength-and skills-based approach to ease clients into a deeper understanding of their unique capacities so they can learn to both self-reflect and to take effective action in support of their own growth and learning development. Kelly assists her clients in developing patience and trust so they can find balance and thrive in both their academic and personal lives.

Kelly fully embraces deep connection with nature and the arts. She loves growing a variety of organic vegetables and flowers with her family. They are locally known for their organically-grown dahlias and hard-neck garlic!
