Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Fairmont, WV

I find it important to meet people where they are in life. Taking the steps towards healing and change is not easy. Exploring values and identifying barriers gives a path towards the things you may want in life. My favorite question to ask is “What do YOU want?”, followed by my second which is “What are YOU doing to get there?” With those two questions you and

If you're looking to "talk to someone," let's talk. Life stressors, unresolved childhood trauma, PTSD, anxiety, or new challenges can be overwhelming to deal with alone. You deserve to give yourself a chance for things to be different. I have over 10 years of experience helping clients achieve more fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Are you feeling stuck, alone, lost? I can help. Everyone struggles with navigating a world that's often unkind, confusing, and overwhelming. I get it, it's hard to be a human. Having lived all over the world & moved 19 times, I know life can be tricky to navigate. Sometimes you need someone from the outside to help you make sense of life's messy stuff. I can. I've worked in prisons, with veterans, mil-families, trauma victims, govt officials, celebrities, moms, dads, college students, people like you and me, just trying to do life. I'm confident that together, we can shift, adjust, adapt and thrive. Breathe, then get unstuck.

I am a dedicated trauma therapist with a passion for helping individuals heal from past experiences and find inner strength. My main modality of treatment is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful therapy approach that facilitates the processing of traumatic memories and promotes emotional healing. With a deep understanding of the impact of trauma on mental health, I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe and supportive space for their healing journey. Through EMDR therapy I empower individuals to explore and reprocess difficult memories, beliefs, and emotions leading to profound healing.

I have a background working with clients with substance use disorders and those carrying trauma from their past. Sometimes the brain can become stuck in survival mode because it is doing what it thinks is best for you. I believe that by having a safe place to compassionately explore the things we keep inside, it can open up the doorway to healing and allow the brain to shift from a state of survival to one of thriving. I am a neurodivergent therapist who loves working with neurodivergent clients to support them in identifying what works for them to be their most functional and happy self.

I work to create a whole-brain and body approach to healing for each individual client through the use of EMDR. I promote seeking balance in life and advocate to help people feel emotionally and mentally empowered. I also take a trauma-informed approach in helping others better understand themselves, their behavior and how this has impacted their life. It is important to me to meet people where they are in seeking change and healing, because I believe this allows people to experience the power of freedom and choice in improving the overall quality of their life.

Children In Balance, a division of Women in Balance, offers high quality behavioral and mental health counseling for children, adolescents and families. We offer individual or group therapy. Our counselors have significant experience and training in working with children and their families. While approaching each person as an individual with their own positive characteristics and one-of-a-kind needs, our counselors offer effective therapeutic techniques that enhance progress. We offer a warm and inviting space where each child can safely explore their emotions and behaviors.

I believe that most people who see a counselor are not psychologically abnormal. My clients are having normal reactions to a complex, stressful, ever-changing world. No matter the problem, people cope in the best way they know how. My job is simply to help you become more effective in your coping. Because so many people have busy schedules, I provide services in the evenings so that my clients don't have to create any more stress in their lives.

I utilize an individualized approach to target clinical symptoms and personality issues. My interventions are evidence based with the goal of empowering others to better understand the origins of their issues and to make meaningful changes, regardless of diagnostic labels. I believe everyone deserves to be assisted and supported to live to their full potential and particularly enjoy working with those who have experienced complex trauma from childhood and relationship experiences. I welcome veterans and military families, those in the LGBTQIA+ community, and people seeking to integrate or discuss faith in treatment.

Emotional and behavioral challenges in childhood and adolescence affects the child and rest of the family unit as well. Caregivers often find themselves heartbroken while they watch their child struggle through issues they wish they could take away, and if the child is acting out behaviorally, it is common for caregivers to even feel hurt and confused. I offer therapy services for children ages 3 and up, as well as adults and families for the diagnosis and treatment of emotional, relational, and behavioral concerns, as well as offer support services and psychoeducation to their caregivers and other family members.

As a psychotherapist, I utilize a holistic approach and integrate mental and psychical health. I am passionate about facilitating change and meeting clients where they are in their wellness journey. It is my goal to help nurture a sense of safety and self-love and provide a non-judemental space for clients to be the most authentic version of themselves.

Coping with life's challenges can feel overwhelming. At WM Counseling, we are here to help listen and guide you to achieve balance within yourself and your life. Whatever you are struggling with, you are not alone. As your therapist, we can help you to make positive changes in your daily life and bring hope to the future. It is our goal to bring the most supportive, nonjudgmental, and ethical practice in our work with you.

The core of my counseling approach is to provide an environment that is comfortable, judgment free, and prioritizes your mental health. I don’t believe in trying to “fix people”, rather support their journey alongside them. My office is a place to explore life’s ups and down, discuss coping skills that resonate with you, and a place where we can grow with each other. There is no “one size fits all” in counseling so getting to know you; your interest, your learning style, your strengths, helps me pull from therapeutic theories and techniques to best fit your needs and goals.

I’m Kari Kahl and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor at Thomas Integrative Psychotherapy and with PSIMED, Inc. in Morgantown, WV. As a Trauma-Informed therapist, I am sensitive to the influence of past experiences on present challenges. I work with my clients to revise the narrative of their life and help to heal old wounds in order for clients to heal and move on with a newfound feeling of freedom and sense of relief. I have experience and training in many different techniques and therapeutic approaches which helps me to be multifaceted with treatment plans that are truly individualistic.

Stressful and terrifying experiences can leave people feeling isolated. Feeling detached from others and like no one can understand what happens in your mind makes it difficult to interact with people. It’s hard to be hopeful when you are experiencing mental health symptoms like this, but you’re here looking for someone to talk to, and that’s really wonderful. If you’d like, check out my website and see if I’m someone you could chat with. We can set up a time to talk on the phone for a no cost 15 minute consultation so that you can get a feel for who I am.
