About

Our Story

Our founder Kelly Gregory has had the struggles we all have. While earning a degree in theater, she learned the importance of being authentic and spontaneous. Later on, she taught theater and English for four years. While helping children from different backgrounds, she realized that there was nothing she was more passionate about than helping others find a balance between truth and love, and she decided to become a therapist. 


After going to graduate school and working in a residential treatment center for addiction, a refuge, and at a private practice, she became fully licensed. With this plethora of experiences, Kelly founded Arena Counseling & Wellness in February of 2019.


Today, Arena Counseling & Wellness is redefining therapy as a cool, transformational and luxury experience.

Our mission is simple:

Arena Counseling & Wellness is dedicated to redefining therapy as a holistic and wellness-oriented approach to life for all. We aim to:

  • Connect clients with excellent therapists that fit them and help them feel more comfortable in the process.
  • Make therapy a common, welcoming and cool experience.
  • Making our clients feel seen, heard, valued, and respected.

Our vision keeps us inspired:

To make Arena a space:

  • Of life, hope, freedom, calmness, and healing.
  • Of building a community and connecting with others.
  • Where there's someone who loves you and knows you.
  • Where you're empowered to reconnect with the highest version of yourself.
