Kelly A Nardella, PsyD

Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

A career in clinical health psychology allows me to bring together science and art to support the well-being and connection of the clients and families I serve. I am incredibly thankful for the opportunities that my job gives me to use my training, experience and familiarity with local systems to connect children, families, and clinicians with services, interventions, and supports that assist them in making meaningful change.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I am a licensed psychologist (PA) who completed both my predoctoral training and postdoctoral residency within the WellSpan Philhaven system. My approach to clinical work is individual, drawing predominantly on developmental and cognitive-behavioral perspectives and using evidence-based approaches including CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and DBT-informed interventions. I currently complete best-practice evaluations for child and adolescents as part of WellSpan Behavioral Health and Rehabilitative Services (BHRS), serve on various internal committees, and assist in coordinating education seminars for pre-doctoral psychology interns.
