The nature of your work as a first responder, 911 dispatcher, doctor, nurse or therapist involves frequent exposure to traumatic events either personally experienced or experienced vicariously through the person going through the trauma. This can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being and lead to burnout and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You may fear and actually face stigma and judgment when seeking help for mental health issues. You would give anything to feel "normal" again.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unable to cope, I'm here to help. As a therapist specializing in first responders and trauma, I understand the unique challenges you face. I've dedicated my career to supporting individuals like you maintain their passion. I utilize EMDR, mind-body techniques, and personalized therapy virtually or in person

I'm here to offer a safe and supportive space where you can process trauma and develop healthy coping mechanisms. I believe in creating a compassionate environment where you feel heard, understood, and validated. Together, we can work through the difficulties you're experiencing and find new ways to navigate your journey. Reach out today and start healing

I specialize in helping first responders and other therapists manage the emotional toll you've taken from your daily experiences. We start by exploring your background, including your childhood, which is often the place core beliefs are developed. Then we will let go of the hold your experiences have using EMDR. Most of my clients see results within a month and significant improvement within two.

I love using EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. This technique bridges the gap between the logical brain, the emotional brain, and the body for significant symptom reduction and often symptom disappearance. I also incorporate CBT, CPT, Solution Based, somatic, and narrative techniques within sessions to heal the entire body and brain of the traumatic responses you experience.

Groups

Anxiety Management Group

Hosted by

Meg Young

This is an 8 session closed group (starts and ends on specific days with no new clients added once the group starts) which allows for the group to get to know each other well. During these 8 weeks, you will learn to understand, manage, and accept some level of anxiety using a mind-body approach as anxiety is felt in the mind AND body. Anxiety is a natural feeling and not one you want to dispose of completely. It is a protective emotion. This group is limited to 8 people.
