About Kerry Hurt

Kerry Hurt is a licensed family therapist in Illinois who brings a decade of clinical experience supporting adolescents, teens, adults, and families through difficult life moments. She holds an LMFT credential - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and draws on that training to address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and loss while helping clients build practical coping skills.

Her work with families focuses on the relational dynamics that shape daily life, including boundaries, communication, parenting styles, and family hierarchy. Kerry also has experience supporting adolescents and teens diagnosed with autism, bipolar disorder, and various personality disorders, offering tailored approaches that reflect each person’s needs and developmental stage.

Kerry integrates narrative therapy to help clients separate themselves from their problems and reframe personal stories, fostering a stronger sense of agency and self-compassion. She combines this with attachment-based, solution-focused, and trauma-focused techniques to create individualized paths forward. Kerry emphasizes a nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly, and she supports people taking the initial step toward a more fulfilling life with encouragement and practical guidance.
