Kelly Jianas

Hi, I'm Kelly Jianas, a licensed therapist, in Idaho Falls, ID who sees adult individuals as clients both in-person and by telehealth. My compassionate, client-centered approach helps clients feel comfortable and at ease as they are invited and welcomed into a safe and non-judgmental therapy space. I began conducting psychotherapy in 2011 in California, and have been practicing consistently since then. I moved to Idaho in 2017, and have owned Compassion Counseling, in Idaho Falls, since 2021. As a non-denominational Christian therapist, one of my specialties include Christian counseling and providing a biblical background to help clients in their faith, per the client's request. I enjoy seeing clients from a spectrum of religious, spiritual, or non-religious backgrounds, and enjoy working with people of all faiths, non-judgmentally, and never pushing my beliefs on others. I am trained in all levels and offer EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as an evidenced-based approach to help heal trauma. First hand, I am humbled to see my clients find healing with EMDR. I also specialize in treating depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and Bipolar Disorder. Having experienced mental health struggles in my own life, I know the power therapy can have, in overcoming life's obstacles. My clients say I am caring, honest, use humor in session to help at times, and helpful with interventions, such as anxiety deescalation skills, and a formula for communicating in conflict resolution using affirmations, "I feel statements," labeling the problem and coming up with an agreed upon solution. This has helped countless clients with boundary setting and building healthier relationships. If you feel lost, broken, hopeless or alone, know there is hope! I look forward to helping you, and feel humbled and honored when clients trust me with their life's struggles. I am here for you.
