Kelli Foulkrod is a holistic trauma therapist, iatrogenic injury advocate, and psychiatric drug tapering coach based in Austin, Texas and licensed in Colorado. She has been working in the mental health field for 23 years and for the past 15 years, she has worked in private practice.
Kelli supports women during pregnancy and postpartum, psychosis or spiritual emergencies, survivors of spiritual abuse, psychotropic tapers and withdrawal, medical trauma, iatrogenic injuries, and specializes in PTSD and complex PTSD. She integrates somatic psychotherapy, energetic practicies, nutritional coaching, nervous system support, with Internal Family Systems and attachment psychology for a truly holistic approach.
For 14 years, Kelli has been passionate about assisting new moms on path their into motherhood and has offered holistic options for the perinatal period: pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, infant loss, and birth trauma. Kelli was a founding board member of the Pregnancy and Postpartum Health Alliance of Texas.
Kelli has experience in a variety of academic and clinical research settings. Her time as a research coordinator for a psychiatric hospital bringing SSRIs to market with the FDA approval process opened her eyes to the corruption in the pharmaceutical industry. This experience of seeing many unethical practices within industry sponsored research sparked a paradigm shift in her clinical perspective, away from the medical model. She has realized the spirit must be included in any healing process to lead to transformation.
Kelli believes in short term psychotherapy to heal the trauma and teach you the tools to live your soul’s mission. She has realized the profound impact of clean nutrition, time in nature, exercise, a personal relationship to the creator, and nervous system regulation for emotional well being. She is currently working on a startup farm to combine organic agriculture with holistic trauma healing.
