Religious trauma. Spiritual abuse. Religious deconstruction. Recovery from purity culture. I have specialized in women with complex trauma for the last eight years, and in the last few years have added a religious trauma certification (from GCRR) to my list of specialties. Like other forms of trauma, religious trauma often manifests as anxiety, depression, and troubled relationships. I mostly work with women, but I am an ally to the LGBTQ community as well. My goal for my clients is to help them untangle the web of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep them feeling stuck.
As a trauma specialist, I use both the most cutting edge trauma treatment modalities of EMDR, IFS, mindful self compassion, and somatic awareness, as well as energy-based and alternative modalities such as (hands off) reiki, crystals, and other energy methods. I am happy to work with both "therapy newbies" and also therapy veterans who need a true expert.
If you are struggling with religious trauma or complex trauma, I am the specialist you are looking for. You can read more about me on my website melissawalkertherapy.com. We CAN overcome the depression, anxiety, relationship issues, confusion, and overwhelm that come from surviving trauma.

I pursued licensure in Utah and Arizona specifically to work with those who may be in a religious/spiritual deconstruction phase and needing to work with how religious trauma/spiritual abuse has affected them. I have worked with many clients around trauma from missions, purity culture, patriarchal abuse, family rigidity around church, and trauma from "church discipline" and priesthood interviews.

As a trauma specialist, I love combining the best trauma modalities together. EMDR, IFS, mindfulness, somatic awareness, attachment, and self compassion all work together beautifully to create healing that happens relatively quickly. I also enjoy adding in a variety of other modalities, including energy work and experiential exercises, to meet you exactly where you are with exactly what you need.
