EMDR & Trauma Therapy in Issaquah – First Responders, Perfectionists, Anxious Teens and Adults
For the people who say, “I’m fine,” while trying to hold it all together.
EMDR Trauma Therapy for Adults and Teens
Hey — I’m Kellyn. (like “Hellen” with a K)
I work with helpers, first responders, perfectionists, and adult children of emotionally immature parents—people who have learned to carry a lot without showing it. You know how to function under pressure. You take care of others. You push through.
But underneath that strength, you might feel:
exhausted or burned out
disconnected from yourself or others
on edge, or like you can’t fully relax
unsure how to let your guard down—even when you want to
Therapy with me isn’t about just coping better. It’s about finding relief.
Together, we’ll make sense of the stress, trauma, and pressure your system has been holding—and help your brain and body finally process it. I specialize in EMDR and ego state work, approaches that go deeper than just talking. This means we’re not just managing symptoms—we’re getting to the root so you can:
feel more present and grounded
stop over-functioning all the time
experience real emotional relief (not just temporary fixes)
actually enjoy your life, not just get through it
If you’ve been browsing therapist websites, you’ve probably seen a lot of the same language about “healing journeys.” And honestly? It can all start to blur together. Yes—training matters. Approach matters. But the most important thing is finding someone you genuinely connect with.
If something here resonates, let’s talk. I offer individual therapy and EMDR intensives, both virtually and in-person in Issaquah, Washington. We can set up a consultation and see if it feels like a fit.
