Kelly Thompson, LMSW-Clinical, CCTP, EMDR Practitioner

Trauma Psychotherapist, EMDR Practitioner, & Death Doula

I understand that you may be feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or stuck in the aftermath of trauma. The pain and burden of past experiences can often feel insurmountable, leaving you uncertain of where to turn for relief. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can begin to heal at your own pace. You don’t have to face this journey alone.

As a trauma therapist, I believe healing is not a linear process—it's unique to each individual. I work from a place of deep empathy, patience, and respect for your experiences. My approach is rooted in evidence-based therapies like trauma-informed care and mindfulness techniques, but also in understanding the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Together, we will explore how your past may impact your present and help you reconnect to your own sense of safety, self-worth, and resilience.

What makes my approach unique is my commitment to creating an environment where you feel truly heard and validated. Trauma is complex, and it's often not just the memories but the body's responses that hold the key to healing. I combine traditional therapeutic methods with practices that nurture the body’s wisdom, ensuring that we address both the emotional and physical aspects of trauma. This holistic approach helps you process painful memories and learn how to regulate your emotions, rebuild trust in yourself, and move forward with a renewed sense of purpose.

If you're ready to start your journey toward healing, I will be here every step of the way, supporting you with patience, care, and understanding. My ultimate goal is to empower you to reclaim control over your life, rediscover your strengths, and create a future filled with hope and possibility.
