Meet Your Therapist
Kelly Conaway, LCSW
Founder Hi, I'm Kelly. Therapist, marathon runner, lover of a good trail — and genuinely glad you're here.
I know what it's like to sit in that chair. I've done my own therapy, done my own work, and I still do. So when I say I appreciate you showing up, I mean it! It's not easy to walk through that door. And the fact that you did says something real about you.
I didn't always know I'd end up here. But looking back, it makes complete sense.
I grew up on the East Coast in Delaware and found my way to college near Pittsburgh, which is where something clicked. A passion for people, for understanding why we do what we do, for actually helping. That pull took me to rural Guatemala for a month, doing research on child nutrition, which cracked open a whole new way of seeing how environment, body, and wellbeing are tangled up together.
From there I landed in San Antonio for a year-long volunteer program, knowing absolutely no one and having never set foot in Texas. I fell in love with the community and never left. That experience of starting over, of building something from nothing, of figuring out who you are in an unfamiliar place taught me more about resilience and identity than any textbook. And honestly? It made me a better therapist.
Therapy wasn't my original dream. But now that I'm in it, it just makes sense. People need a safe place to process the hard stuff. A space where they can be honest without bracing for judgment. I hope that's what I provide and I work hard every single day to make sure it is.
I bring all of me to the room — because that's what actually helps.
I'm not a blank-slate therapist. I self-disclose when it's useful. I'll challenge you when you need it, and back off when you don't. We will probably laugh at some point — and that's on purpose. Warmth and humor aren't distractions from the work. They're part of how real connection happens, and real connection is what makes therapy work.
I pay close attention to what you're not saying, too. The subtle stuff: your body language, what you gloss over, where you tense up. Those cues matter, and I use them to navigate what you actually need in that session, even when you're not quite sure yourself.
I also believe deeply in the mind-body connection. My own life reflects it. I run marathons, I spend time outside, I've learned firsthand how much physical movement shapes mental state. That understanding informs my work. Healing isn't just a thinking process. It lives in the body too, and we don't ignore that here.
I believe you can change. Like, actually change.
Not just cope better. Not just manage. Actually understand yourself more deeply, shift the patterns that aren't serving you, and build a life that feels genuinely full. I've seen it happen. I've experienced it myself. And I don't think it's reserved for a lucky few. I think it's available to anyone willing to do the work.
That belief isn't just something I say. It's the foundation of how I show up for every client, every session.
Behind The Name
Source & Summit. Where you come from and where you're going — held at the same time.
I thought a lot about what to call this practice. Names matter. And I wanted one that actually said something about the work.
The Source
A source doesn't look like much from the outside. But everything that flows downstream begins right there. In therapy, your source is that deep internal place. Your history, your formation, the experiences and relationships that shaped how you move through the world. Understanding your source isn't about being stuck in the past. It's about knowing where your water comes from so you can understand why it flows the way it does.
The Summit
A summit isn't just the top of a mountain. It's the place where you can finally see. Summits are earned, not given. They ask something of you. But they give something back too: perspective, clarity, the ability to see where you came from and where you might go next. In therapy, the summit isn't about being fixed or finished. It's those moments when something that felt overwhelming finally makes sense. When you can see your own patterns from above instead of from inside them.
Together
Water and mountains are inseparable in nature. The mountain creates the source. Snow and rain collect at elevation and eventually become the river below. The summit overlooks the very watershed it helped create. So the name holds the whole arc. You begin at your source: exploring what formed you, what shaped you, what's been flowing beneath the surface. And you work toward your summit. Not a place of perfection, but a place of perspective. A clearing where you can finally see yourself and your life with more clarity than before. That's the work of therapy. And that's Source & Summit.
