Marriage & Family Therapy – Kelly Muhonen LMFT
Kelly Muhonen LMFT offers integrative psychotherapy for adolescents and adults from an office at 1136 Fremont Avenue, Suite 103, in South Pasadena, California 91030. Muhonen holds licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist and maintains certifications as both an EMDRIA provider and a Safe and Sound Protocol provider. The practice describes its approach as strengths-based holistic care that draws on evidence-based practices alongside somatic and nature-based interventions.
Core services include individual therapy, trauma therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), and running therapy. EMDR is offered as a structured trauma-processing modality. The SSP is described on the practice website as designed to help the body shift out of a survival state and orient toward healing, balance, calm, and connectedness, supporting nervous system regulation. Running therapy integrates somatic and trauma-informed approaches with traditional talk therapy; the practice notes this service does not require clients to have prior running experience, making it accessible to a broad range of individuals.
Clinical areas of focus include trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and nervous system dysregulation. The practice places particular emphasis on somatic trauma therapy as a central framework, addressing how the body holds and responds to stress and difficult experiences as part of the therapeutic process.
Sessions are available in-person at the South Pasadena office and via telehealth for California-based clients. A free 15-minute consultation is offered to prospective clients prior to scheduling ongoing appointments. Insurance acceptance is not addressed on the practice website.
