Dr. Kelly Graves is a licensed clinical psychologist, grief researcher, and author of When the Snow Melts — a debut memoir-in-essays exploring loss, resilience, and the slow work of healing. Drawing on more than fifteen years of clinical practice and her own experience of profound personal loss, Dr. Graves writes with rare emotional precision about what it means to grieve in a culture that rushes toward recovery. Her work has appeared in literary journals and mental health publications, and she speaks regularly at conferences, universities, and healthcare organizations on topics including grief, trauma, and the role of vulnerability in leadership. She holds a doctorate in clinical psychology and a master's degree in counseling, and maintains a private practice in Chicago. When the Snow Melts is her first book. It was written, she says, for everyone who has ever been told they should be over it by now.
