About the Clinicians


Dr. Kelly WernerKelly Werner, Ph.D. (PSY21858) loves guiding people to live from their core inner strength. She runs a group called “Wise Inside,” to help people embody what is called Self-Energy in Internal Family Systems Therapy and Self-as-Context in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Kelly has created the ATTUNE Process to help undo aloneness and heal those who've experienced chronic emotional mis-attunement. As a global workshop facilitator with the United Nations (Peace on Purpose) and with the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (a mindfulness based emotional intelligence program founded at Google), she teaches evidence-based practices for inner resilience and balance. Dr. Werner is a founding member and past president of the San Francisco Bay Area ACBS chapter, and has developed an authentic conversation game, “Tell Me,” for personal and professional use. She has trained therapists to do Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and workshop facilitators to lead meditations and teach about emotional intelligence and science in a corporate environment. She has developed curricula for both teacher trainings and online applications like Insight Timer. Her therapy, program development and teaching are informed by her doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley and her research postdoc at Stanford in clinical affective neuroscience. Dr. Werner loves attuning to other's inner worlds, and hopes that by fostering peace within individuals, there will be more balance in the outer world.
