Brendan Kelly

Brendan Kelly is the co-founder and CEO of The Well Being, Counseling and Fitness Center, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He earned his Master’s degree in Social Work from Western Michigan University in 2003 and has over 20 years of experience as a practicing therapist.

Brendan is deeply passionate about integrating movement and physical exercise into mental health treatment. He has delivered numerous presentations on the therapeutic value of exercise and strongly believes that The Well Being’s integrated treatment model represents a paradigm shift in traditional outpatient mental health care. His work remains focused on establishing physical activity as a first-line treatment option for many of the most common mental health concerns.

Outside of his professional work, Brendan enjoys spending time with friends and family, trail running, mountain biking, and being outdoors in all seasons—from beach days to snowy adventures.
