Let's Connect (504) 419-1246
I collaborate with clients from a relational and a somatic perspective. I'm excited to offer walking and outdoor therapy because I have seen how experiencing connection with the natural world and with our bodies can help us more joyfully connect with others. I work from the premise that cultivating these connections can offer support as we examine the contexts that have shaped our lives and perspectives, and grow confidence in our capacity to hold and transform our suffering.
I have trained in trauma therapies including EMDR, EMDR for children and adolescents, and Advanced Integrative Therapy. I've also received training in sand tray, expressive arts, and play therapies. Additionally, I've completed scoliosis mental health training levels I and II.
I work with clients on issues around self-worth, interpersonal challenges, and experiences of anxiety and depression. I offer walking/outdoor, in-office, and telehealth sessions with opportunities to compliment verbal processing with awareness practices, expressive arts, and sand tray therapy. I also co-facilitate outdoor group therapy in City Park!

Groups
Wandering Together: Outdoor Group Therapy
This group involves walking meditations in nature, expressive eco arts, sensory awareness activities, and verbal group processing. Walking induces bilateral stimulation, which helps to integrate our emotional and cognitive experiences. As a result, we gain a greater ability to process our thoughts and feelings. Walking, being in nature, and expanding our sensory awareness can also help to integrate our nervous system, which supports emotional regulation, mindfulness, trauma recovery, and more. Facilitators: Maddy Kolker, PLPC & Lauren McWhorter, PLPC. Dates: Sep 11th - Oct 30th. 8 sessions with 8 participants. Learn more: crescentcitypsychotherapy.com/group
