Ken O’Hearn is a Gulf War veteran and retired paramedic with 25 years of frontline service. Now a pre-licensed professional counselor, he specializes in helping trauma survivors, first responders, EMS professionals, and veterans heal from PTSD, anxiety, and the lasting effects of critical incidents. Drawing from his own lived experience and advanced training in EMDR, RTM, and CBT, Ken provides a safe, compassionate space where clients can process trauma, reduce flashbacks and hypervigilance, and regain resilience, trust, and peace. His practice is dedicated to guiding those who serve and sacrifice toward lasting healing.
I help trauma survivors, EMS professionals, first responders, and veterans heal from PTSD, anxiety, and the weight of critical incidents. Using EMDR, RTM, and CBT, I guide clients to reduce flashbacks, hypervigilance, and nightmares while building resilience and peace. As a Gulf War veteran and retired paramedic, I understand the unique stress of service.
Healing from trauma can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Understanding the unique challenges of critical incidents, PTSD, and emotional pain, therapy offers a safe, compassionate space to explore and heal. Together, we can work toward resilience, balance, and a renewed sense of hope. Reach out to start the journey.
