Kellie Hatch, MA, RMHCI
Naples therapist and Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist working with high-functioning women and driven couples on the relationship patterns that keep repeating — and what it takes to actually interrupt them.
The short answer
Kellie Hatch, MA, is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in Florida (RMHCI #31091) practising at 1048 Goodlette-Frank Rd N, Naples, FL 34102 and by secure video statewide. She holds an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands and a BA in Psychology from the University of Utah, and is a Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist and trained relationship coach with a verified Psychology Today listing.
Clinical supervision is provided by Dr. April Brown, LMHC, QS, NCC (#MH9682). Her focus is high-functioning professional women and couples, working on attachment styles, relationship patterns, anxiety, self-worth and life transitions.
Who she works with
Two groups, mostly. The first is women whose lives look entirely handled from the outside — the career, the house, the calendar that runs on time — and who are quietly cycling through the same relationship outcome for the third or fourth time. Capable people are often the last to get help, because competence is very good camouflage.
The second is couples: rebuilding after betrayal, stuck in a communication loop that has stopped producing anything, or trying to work out whether there is enough left to keep going. Some arrive in an acute stretch. Some have been drifting quietly for years.
Beyond that, the practice regularly sees clients working through anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma and PTSD, divorce and separation, parenting stress, grief and loss, boundaries, burnout, and career or identity change.
How she works
The premise is that patterns are not character flaws — they are old solutions that used to work. The work is finding where a pattern was learned, understanding what it was protecting you from, and building something that fits the life you have now rather than the one that installed it.
In practice that means the approach is matched to the person rather than the reverse. Some clients want the fastest possible route to a single stuck belief, which is what Rapid Transformational Therapy is built for. Some want forward-focused and practical, which is Solution Focused Therapy. Some need to understand the origin before anything else will hold, which is Psychodynamic Therapy. Some talk far more freely walking a shoreline than seated across a room, which is Walk & Talk Beach Therapy.
Therapy doesn't have to be boring, and it doesn't have to take forever.
What stays constant is directness. Clients are told what is being observed, sessions have a point, and progress is something you are both explicitly tracking rather than hoping for.

What she offers
Rapid Transformational Therapy
Hypnotherapy, NLP, CBT and psychotherapy combined to find and reframe the root of a pattern — often in one to three sessions.
Solution Focused Therapy
Forward-looking and goal-oriented. Builds on what already works in your life instead of re-excavating everything that didn't.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Depth work on the unconscious patterns, early experiences and inner conflicts still shaping how you show up today.
Anxiety Therapy
Practical tools to quiet worry cycles, interrupt rumination and get your nervous system back out of high alert.
Walk & Talk Beach Therapy
Sessions held walking the Naples shoreline — side by side rather than across a room, which many clients find easier.
Couples retreats
Private intensives for one couple at a time: a half day on Keewaydin Island, or three guided days through Soul & Sand.
