Dr. Michele Kinderman is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and co-founder of Wellness Outside the Box. In her group sessions, she combines the more traditional therapies (cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, insight oriented therapy) with music, movement, nature, and humor to assist clients in building their strengths and achieving their goals. Dr. Kinderman has nearly two decades of experience treating children and adults struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, parenting issues, and the daily stresses of everyday life. In addition, her love of animals became a natural segue into the field of Pet Therapy where she helps individuals work through grief via connection and interaction with animals. Dr. Kinderman relies heavily on the curative properties of nature, movement, and connectedness to help clients heal. She strives to incorporate these values into her work with clients at Wellness Outside the Box. Dr. Kelly Yanek is a nationally certified School Psychologist and co-founder of Wellness Outside the Box. She has had a love for the outdoors since she was a little girl climbing trees and exploring nature. Dr. Yanek has incorporated this passion for nature and adventure into her work since her career began, whether taking walks with high school students to help them problem-solve or leading mindfulness exercises with kindergarten students to help them find calm in their day. In addition to her certification as a school psychologist, Dr. Yanek has specialized training in adventure based counseling and the technical skills of high and low ropes/adventure courses. She is also a certified yoga instructor. Her expertise in adventure, mindfulness, and nature-work enables her to successfully treat those who prefer non-traditional paths to wellness.
