Kelly Gutowski

Trauma-informed therapy and coaching for those who carry strength for everyone else. Secure online therapy across AZ. Limited in-person sessions in Glendale, AZ. Insurance accepted. You are the dependable one—the helper, the encourager, the steady presence others lean on at home, at work, in leadership, or within your faith community. But carrying that weight day after day can leave you drained, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. At Rise and Renew Wellness, you're not just another appointment- you are a person deeply seen, heard, and supported on your unique healing journey. We walk alongside you with compassion and expertise to help you reclaim peace, purpose, and renewal. What Makes us Different Clinical Expertise: You don’t need more "to-do" lists; you need deep restoration. We move beyond traditional talk therapy by using EMDR and CBT to target the root of trauma and anxiety in both the mind and the nervous system, providing the relief that willpower alone cannot achieve. Convenience That Respects Your Schedule: As a busy professional or parent, your time is your most valuable asset. Our secure online counseling platform eliminates the commute to an office, allowing you to prioritize your mental health from the privacy of your home or office during a time frame that actually works for your life. While we primarily meet virtually across Arizona, limited in-person sessions are available for those who prefer an office setting in Glendale. A Truly Integrated Perspective: We use a holistic approach at Rise and Renew Wellness: mind, body and Spirit. You won't have to explain your values or "edit" your faith here. Who We Help Many of the people we serve are high-capacity helpers and professionals—healthcare workers, therapists, ministry leaders, parents, and caregivers—who carry a heavy emotional and mental load. While many of our clients are women who have spent years caring for others, we welcome anyone seeking a place to slow down, process, and heal. If anxiety, trauma, or constant stress has left you feeling stuck in survival mode, you don’t have to carry it alone. How We Help Rise and Renew Wellness is a trauma therapy and Christian counseling practice based in Glendale offering online therapy across Arizona and the Greater Phoenix Area. We provide convenient online appointments designed to support people with busy schedules, with a limited number of in-person sessions available at our Glendale office. Our compassionate, trauma-informed therapy approach addresses the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and for those who desire it, therapy can also integrate Christian faith as part of the healing process. Grounded in evidence-based and trauma-informed mental health practices, we help clients move from survival mode and exhaustion toward healing, hope, and renewal. If desired, we incorporate a Christian worldview and faith-based practices into your care plan, blending your personal faith with clinical methods. Inspired by Romans 12:2, we are here to help you rise into your purpose and renew your mind. Who We Are Hi, I’m Kelly. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Rise and Renew Wellness. I want you to know you are worthy of healing, and making time for yourself is an act of courage. I believe it’s no coincidence you’re here, and I’m honored to support you as you take this step toward the life you were created for. My approach is built on a Mind-Body-Spirit framework. I use evidence-based tools like CBT to renew the mind and EMDR to release trauma stored in the body. Together, we engage the Spirit to bring lasting restoration to your soul. This is a place where you can finally be vulnerable, get to the root of the pain, and change your story for good. By offering online counseling in Arizona, I protect your precious time—no commutes, no waiting rooms—just a safe, confidential space to breathe and heal. It's a privilege to work alongside you. I also offer a limited number of in-person sessions in our Glendale, AZ office.
