Meet our Therapists
Trisha Kelly-Serrato, MAS-MFT, LMFT (Founder/Clinical Director)
Welcome! Trisha is a seasoned Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Clinical Director and Founder of Life in Motion Therapy, a thriving group private practice located in the heart of Central Phoenix.
Trisha's heart beats to help people break generational patterns in their families and heal from relational trauma. A recovering perfectionist herself, Trisha is especially drawn to high-achieving professionals grappling with the question: "Am I enough?" Known for her warm yet direct approach, Trisha is not a “smile and nod” kind of therapist—she gets in the arena with you. Her sessions are rooted in real connection, actionable tools, and deep insight tailored to help you move forward in a meaningful way.
Trisha trained with Stan Tatkin, PsyD. MFT who is the founder of the The PACT Institute /Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy. Trisha also completed Pia Mellody’s training in early childhood trauma, and is level one trained in the Gottman Method, as well as Terry Real's, Relational Life Therapy. Trisha is a trainer and facilitator of Prepare/ENRICH, an empirically studied premarital assessment tool.
Trisha is trained in several evidence-based modalities, including the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT) with Dr. Stan Tatkin, Post Induction Therapy (PIT) developed by Pia Mellody, The Gottman Method (Level I), and Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy (RLT). She is also a certified facilitator of Prepare/ENRICH, a leading premarital and couples assessment tool.
Before stepping into the therapy world, Trisha was a professional dancer who toured internationally—an experience that continues to inform her creative, embodied approach to therapy. These days, her co-therapist, Teddy (a certified therapy dog), often joins her in session to provide comfort and grounding presence.
Outside of the therapy room, you’ll likely find Trisha adventuring with her husband, young son, and two dogs. She's also known for her talents in interior design, next-level organizing, and hosting meaningful gatherings for friends and family.
