AEDP Therapists in Louisville, KY
Life has thrown so much at you, and you feel like you can't keep up. One minute you’re fine, but the next, you’re freaking out in the bathroom, trying to get it together. Maybe you don't quite recognize yourself anymore; your perspective is shifting against your will. Life feels heavier than it used to. This isn’t working anymore, but you don’t know what to do.
There’s a reason something in you is responding this way. I believe positive-talking your way through without acknowledging the reality of how hard this is would be a disservice to your lived experience, and it would ultimately band-aid and prolong the process.

Life can feel like a lot—loud thoughts, relentless doubt, old wounds that don’t stay in the past. Maybe your mind runs fast and deep. Maybe you notice things others don’t. I work with people navigating OCD, trauma/PTSD, autism, ADHD, and/or anxiety who want to live honestly in a world that doesn’t always make sense. This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about getting real about what hurts, what matters, and what you want your life to stand for—even when things still suck.

I love my work and enjoy offering my clients a safe and supportive environment for them to grow and explore themselves. My style is both conversational and relational. I offer an authentic presence within a collaborative, lively relationship in which self-discovery can be non-threatening and perhaps, even fun. I am committed to sharing everything I know which I believe will help heal the difficulties in one's life. I am inspired each day by the courage clients have each moment they show up for therapy. I became a therapist because, to me, the value in life comes when you return to your value within.

AEDP Therapists
Who is AEDP therapy for?
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is for adults who have experienced emotional pain in the past that, because it has not been adequately addressed and processed, interferes with current functioning. The problems might manifest in a number of different ways, from excessive anger to relationship difficulties to PTSD to eating disorders, poor self-esteem, and depression. They may also be accompanied by physiological symptoms. AEDP helps people accept and digest challenging emotional experiences.
Why do people need AEDP?
People need AEDP as a way to manage distressing emotions—including anger, shame, and guilt—that in some way hamper the ability to function and form satisfying relationships in the present. The therapist-client relationship is believed to provide corrective emotional and relational experiences that facilitate positive changes in brain function, forge pathways for processing traumatic experiences, and allow resolution of emotional pain.
What happens in AEDP therapy?
Once individuals have established a strong bond with the AEDP therapist and the therapist has established a safe and secure environment, clients are encouraged to explore their most painful emotional experiences. They may be asked to pay attention to disquieting body sensations as well as to psychological discomfort. Individuals learn how to process emotions, rather than avoid them. Through the strength of the therapist-client bond, each session is intended to provide a powerful positive experience for individuals, enabling growth.
What problems does AEDP treat?
AEDP is intended to treat the unprocessed emotional pain caused by earlier distressing experiences, which commonly includes behavioral avoidance of current situations and experiences for fear that they will reactivate painful feelings. Emotional pain and avoidant behavior play a role in a wide array of mental health conditions, which is why AEDP is applied to the treatment of a range of disorders including depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship difficulties, and eating disorders.
