Licensed Clinical Psychologist in California
About Dr. Kelly Ransom
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who works with women across California, supporting them through health concerns, perinatal challenges, parenting stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. I am passionate about helping women of all ages take an active role in their wellbeing and feel more balanced, resilient, and connected to the life they want to live.
I have a particular interest in supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting, as well as providing specialized support for mothers navigating NICU experiences or caring for children with ongoing medical or developmental needs. I also work with women experiencing perimenopause and menopause, chronic health conditions, pain, anxiety, and the emotional impact of major life changes.
My Approach to Individual Psychotherapy
My approach is warm, compassionate, evidence-based, and practical. Together, we will identify patterns that may no longer be serving you and develop new ways of responding that better support your goals. I draw from attachment-based, neuroscience-informed, and trauma-focused approaches, tailoring treatment to your individual needs and circumstances.
In our work together, we will focus on creating meaningful, lasting change. Over time, you may notice that your responses to difficult experiences feel less automatic and reactive, giving you more space to respond in ways that feel steadier and more aligned with your intentions.
At California Women’s Therapy, I warmly welcome women of all ages and identities. I look forward to supporting you as you navigate life’s challenges, rediscover balance, and create a life that feels more fulfilling and aligned with who you are.
My Approach to Couple’s Counseling
My approach to couples counseling is collaborative, practical, and trauma-informed. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps us better understand the emotions and experiences that shape how we relate to one another. Together, we’ll explore what may be happening beneath moments of conflict, distance, or disconnection and work toward creating greater safety, security, and closeness in your relationship.
In our work together, I help each partner recognize the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. We’ll slow things down and take a closer look at what happens for each of you during moments of tension, so you can better understand your own responses as well as your partner’s. From there, we can practice new ways of communicating, responding, and repairing after conflict.
The goal is not to eliminate differences or ensure that conflict never happens. Instead, I want to help you change the way you move through difficult moments together. Over time, you can learn to step out of old patterns and find your way back to one another emotionally—even during moments of stress or distress.
My approach is tailored to the unique needs of each relationship. I strive to provide a supportive space where both partners can feel heard and understood while building the tools needed to create more stability, connection, and security moving forward.
So you can learn more about my services and make sure we’re a great fit, I offer free consultations over the phone or via live video chat.
Both Individual psychotherapy & couple’s counseling are available through a secure video conferencing system.
