Kelly Smiley, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, is a board-certified family nurse practitioner with a specialization in psychiatry. She sees patients at Magnolia Medical Group, which has locations in Denver and Wheat Ridge, Colorado.
Kelly graduated with her MSN from the University of Miami in 2010, having obtained her accelerated BSN in 2005 from the same university. She began her nursing career in an intensive/critical care unit. Prior to nursing, she obtained a BA in Spanish literature from the University of Colorado, Boulder, in 1999. Upon completion of her MS, Kelly returned to Colorado, where she'd grown up, to begin her family and professional NP career.
Kelly began her NP career serving nearly six years as a primary care provider and clinic manager of a non-profit federally qualified health center providing free integrated medical, behavioral health, dental, and social services to Native American and Alaska Natives of all ages. She spent one year in geriatric medicine before specializing in psychiatric, mental health, and addiction medicine in 2019.
Kelly's approach is authentic, personable, and holistic. She values getting to know her patients on a personal level, ensuring her clients gain a full understanding of their health issues, and empowering them to collaboratively manage their health conditions and outcomes with her. She prioritizes finding the root cause of one's health problems, prioritizing each client's understanding of their foundational needs to promote their health and well-being.
Kelly's goal for clients is to thrive, not "just exist" or "get by." The foundation of her approach is achieving stability in three vital areas of life - work, play, and love. Her goal is to aid clients in achieving success and help them balance the three elements of life that are necessary to thrive - finding purpose in life, ensuring one's self-care and interests are actively enjoyed, and ensuring that one has sufficient social support. She does not "push" medications, is quite conservative regarding prescribing controlled substances, avoids polypharmacy/overmedicating, proactively works with clients towards goals of overcoming dependence on prescribed medications; she does recommend appropriate medication management when appropriate and/or necessary to assist one in achieving stability of symptoms.
Kelly is a first-generation American and former expatriate who's experienced first-hand the unique stressors associated with emigrating to a foreign land, which has helped guide her culturally competent approach to work. She's a world traveler who's lived in Denmark, Costa Rica, and Spain and is a Miami native. Kelly moved to Denver at age 12 and considers this to be her true "hometown." She lived in Lake Tahoe before moving to Colorado, spending many days after school and on weekends training on the slopes, ultimately becoming a ski and snowboard instructor at Breckenridge/Vail Resorts. She's a former long-distance runner, an avid gardener, loves reading just about anything, and she's multilingual - she speaks conversational Danish and Spanish, and she understands basic Norwegian, Italian, and Portuguese.
When not working, Kelly enjoys spending time with her daughter, husband, and extended family and friends. She's also got a soft spot for animals, currently with three rescues at home.

Hi
Kelly Smiley is the most amazing, wonderful person that I am so lucky to have in my life! She has been with me through the most crucial times of my recovery, ready to listen and help in any way that she can. I h
Kelly Smiley has helped me in so many ways it’s hard to put it into words. I can’t thank her enough.
She’s just wonderful!
Kristyn has been such a pleasure to work with. She’s very attentive to my needs which I very much appreciate. She very knowledgeable, answering any questions I might have. I could not ask for a better person or someone more professional.
I’ve been coming to Kristen for awhile now, and she is, by far, the best provider I have ever had. Besides always listening and being there when I need her, I’ve grown to think of her as a good friend and someone I can talk to about literally anything, with zero fear of judgement. I often joke with her and tell her she can never retire until I’ve passed away, because at this point, I cannot see going to anyone else. I have enormous trust issues, so for me to say these things about anyone else, much less a provider, is an uncommon occurrence. For that matter, I think Rachel, Peyton, and the girls who do the triage downstairs are also amazing. The clinic has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and for people in struggle with addiction, this sort of environment is essential. People are welcomed warmly and with humor. Everyone really works well together and now that that Melanie has left the practice, (good riddance, IMO) I cannot say I’m very fond of everyone there. I’d have to say Magnolia, at least the Colfax location, is one of the best kept secrets, for anyone dealing with substance abuse and, really, just needing a warm friend.
Kristyn is wonderful and has helped me tremendously with my time at magnolia!
Kelly is apparently amazing, so Glad to have her as my psychiatrist now. She listens and understands what I’m going through and she doesn’t push you to do something you aren’t comfortable to do yet which is amazing for me because I have such bad anxiety. I give her more than 5 stars, I give her 10 gold trophies
I have been blessed to have Kelly as my therapist for a long time, and I recently met with her and she really helps me examine parts of my life and work through so many of my issues. I've been with Maggie's for more the 8-9 years. They are no longer mandatory; it's a part of my own accountability. Thank you, Kelly, for hanging in there for those of us that depend on you and Magnolia's.
Kristyn Kulick is terrific Always on time for zoom monthly meetings Always willing to help and answer any questions I have recommended a few people to her Any i sm very grateful for her professional advice Rich James
Dr kulick and all the other people that there are very understanding about your problems. I highly recommend magnolia medical to everyone And dr Kulick is super understanding about your situation.
I absolutely love Kristyn. She pays attention to everything we talk about and always ask how everything is going. She is non judgmental and I always feel like she’s in my corner. I highly recommend Kristyn and Magnolia medical group
Great and professional doctors and staff . Follow the program and it will work for you..
Great experience and highly recommend!
I love Dr. Kristyn, she is the best that magnolia medical has had in a while. She is just amazing she pays attention to you and your needs and always make sure your doing good on whatever your taking. I very glad she came along and I hope she stays awhile. Lol
Kelley Smiley psychiatric NP has really helped to improve my life and how I see myself and how to cope with life’s ups and downs. She really listens, very insightful, empathic and intelligent. What I really like is how down to earth and real she is. She the best I have ever seen
Kelly is amazing and I love this place from the front desk, counselors, provider and the Suboxone treatment is amazing how well they all work together as a family I'm so happy with all the help they provide for me. I can't find a place like this anywhere so I strongly believe that you would call to see if it's a place for you..
Kelly Smiley is definitely the best at what she does. I've been going to Magnolia for almost 2 years, and without a doubt she and everyone there have been instrumental in any successes I've had over that time. They genuinely care and it shows. In short, Kelly Smiley and the entire Magnolia staff set the bar for helping you become the best version of yourself.
These guys are awesome
She is always so sweet and caring, I really feel comfortable asking her for anything I need regarding my meds. Keep up the great work!
I’ve seen countless psychiatrists over the years and Kelly is, all around, the best one! I think this woman really has more compassion on me than almost anyone in my life. That may sound like a stretch, but it’s not. Feel seen and heard, so we are working as a team. she’s sharp as a whip, attentive, patient, non judgmental, trustworthy, resourceful, etc. Yeah, I could keep going. She helps with every problem I’m facing…to the best her ability. I get to be fully transparent about my battles, no matter how much shame and guilt I’m carrying. Her own life is a beautiful testimony of hope. Im weary
Dr. Smiley is a breath of fresh air. I have always felt like she truly cares & i appreciate her passion for harm reduction addiction, & co-occurring mental health disorders. I always feel listened to. I am very grateful, and satisfied w/ my care from Dr. Kelly Smiley.
Truly helpful understanding and honest. Supporting of goals to complete sobriety of all meds. Thank you
Kristyn in erxcellent. Very approachable and easy to connect with . I have already passed along her name to 3 people. Rich James
Kelly is smart and intuitive. She is not judgemental. She really went the extra mile with me by looking at my medical labs and disclosing to me that I have a serious medical condition that must be addressed now.
Is completely professional when it comes to starting new medications. He actually listens to what I have to say. I have had doctor's in the past that acted like my opinion was invalid.
Kristyn is a very detailed, caring, supportive counselor. she has no judgement based on your past personal choices and background. I was very lucky to be aligned with her while going through my recovery at Magnolia.
