About Dr. Kelly Flanagan

Dr. Kelly Flanagan is a clinical psychologist, writer, and blogger. He grew up in a small town in rural Illinois, and got out of it as fast as he could, because he figured the satisfaction we’re all looking for couldn’t be found in a cornfield. He went to the University of Illinois and majored in psychology, before going on to Penn State for graduate school.
