EMDR Therapists in Saint Petersburg, FL

I strongly believe that high quality therapy with a professional therapist is something that should be affordable and available to all people. I am a licensed clinical social worker with many years of training and experience. I have advanced training in EMDR which has proven to be the “gold standard” of treatment for trauma issues and post traumatic stress disorder. I am also certified in clinical telehealth (CTMH) and anxiety treatment (CCATP). If you are struggling to find your way or are looking to lead a happier, authentic life, I encourage you to take the first steps on your journey of moving in a positive direction.

If you are struggling to process trauma or tough times, you deserve help. There are many people walking through life “wounded.” Even though these wounds are often undeserved, we have a responsibility to ourselves and loved ones to heal and live life to the fullest. The good news is that you DO NOT have to go through this healing process alone! I am more than happy to help you gain some clarity, regain control, and find your voice. I am a strengths-based therapist, so I enjoy identifying and emphasizing resilient traits in others who may feel a little lost, down, or hurt. My goal is to empower you to identify and address any issue.

You will receive the personalized attention you need to better cope with stress, overcome addictions or other bad habits and regain your health and happiness! I provide both individual and couples counseling ages 18 and up.

Do you feel overwhelmed with a life transition, anxiety, depression, or feel the pain of loss? I use best practice research based trauma techniques which can gently reduce the stress response, eliminate distressing symptoms, and restore your natural ability to heal. I use MBCT (mindfulness based cognitive therapy). which can be extremely helpful to manage feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, or navigate a life transition. Learning this practice can change how you think, feel, and react. I also support you with the pain of grief through meaning and acceptance of your loss I look forward to hearing from you! All the Best, Karen Jo (KJ)
