Healthcare providers are burning out at alarming rates, struggling to maintain their own well-being while caring for others. I partner with physicians, nurses, medical students, and other health professionals who want to rediscover their passion for healing without sacrificing their mental health. Drawing from my hands-on experience developing well-being programs at leading academic medical institutions, I help transform healthcare cultures from ones of burnout to ones of resilience. As Chief Well-Being Officer at the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University, I put these principles into practice daily, while sharing these proven strategies with healthcare organizations nationwide through speaking engagements and consulting. Whether you're an individual provider seeking to reclaim your joy in medicine or a healthcare leader looking to revolutionize your organization's approach to well-being, I'll help you build a practice and workplace that energizes rather than depletes – because when healers thrive, everyone benefits.
I had the privilege of working with Dr. Kelly in a Wellness Lab she facilitated for my women’s leadership program. Her unique ability to foster real and honest discussions without pressure creates an environment where growth happens naturally. Dr. Kelly’s insights and approach to well-being concepts will leave your leaders and teams stronger and more connected.

Hi, my name is Kelly Holder, and I am a clinical psychologist, speaker, and advocate for well-being in healthcare. Over 15 years ago, I discovered my passion for creating spaces where healers can thrive when I began building mental health services from the ground up. It opened my eyes to how systemic, cultural, and environmental factors shape our well-being. I now know firsthand what it’s like to navigate burnout and the challenges of prioritizing mental health in demanding fields, and this is why I speak to healthcare professionals, educators, and leaders.
My goal is to inspire and equip organizations to cultivate environments that promote well-being so that those who care for others can also care for themselves and perform at their best. When I’m not speaking or advocating for change, you can find me supporting children’s ministry programs, enjoying family time, or writing devotionals to help others connect with God.
I look forward to connecting and being part of your next event so that, together, we can create an environment where healers truly thrive.
