I am certified in Trauma Therapy, and have received training in several different approaches to trauma, including EMDR.
Counseling is an opportunity to work on the things in life that are causing you problems or keeping you from achieving your goals. This may be due to current life stressors, grief and loss, relationship issues, recent changes, or may be issues related to anxiety, depression or trauma. My goal is to help you remove the obstacles that prevent you from being the best version of yourself. I would be honored to work together to help you to heal from and overcome the experiences in your life that are affecting you most.

Most of us have experienced events which still impact our present lives. EMDR is an highly effective form of psychotherapy which harnesses all we know about human attachment and neurobiology to heal trauma and to reprocess disturbing life experiences. Focused protocols are used, and no homework or detailed descriptions of the events are required.

Do you have PPO insurance? I can help! You show up every day, giving your all - to your family, your work, and your community. Yet, the past and present still weigh you down, keeping you from the life you want to live. Whether it’s trauma/stress, a relationship with a narcissistic or borderline person, fertility/reproductive trauma, addiction struggles, or coping with the pressures of modern life, it can all feel overwhelming. You hope for lasting change but don't know where to start. Together, we develop insights and solid boundaries to connect you to what matters most instead of always responding or reacting in undesirable ways.

I am an EMDR certified therapist, with a focus on EMDR/Natural Processing -- a somatic (body-centered) approach to EMDR.
There is no single path to navigating a well-lived and resilient life. With a busted GPS and an outdated map, we can find ourselves driven by the wind and the rain--lost and alone in a shadowy forest. I help clients rebuild trust in their navigating system, and grow their resilience to handle the inevitable difficulties in life. I am a somatic therapist, meaning I enlist the resources of your body and nervous system to guide you in moving from a stuck and uncertain path toward one more grounded in resilience.

Katty (Coffron) Richardson, PhD, LMFT, LPCC
I have been trained in EMDR, which is somewhat akin to hypnotherapy and assists in working with veterans and others with PTSD.
There comes a time when we need help. I appreciate the courage anyone demonstrates when they make that call. I hope to create a space where individuals and families can receive that trusted assistance. I have been a therapist for thirty years. I was a tennis pro for ten years before that. I am aware of the process of change. There is a timing when an individual, or family, is ready to make those adjustments. In working with children, I involve the whole family. I especially enjoy the travels that the adolescent makes, and the perplexing attempts parents make in adjusting to this challenging phase. I work with addictions.

I specialize in a trauma treatment called EMDR and in women's health and feminine psychology.
I believe that self-acceptance and self-understanding are fundamental to meaningful change and that each of us has an innate healing capacity and ability to thrive. Sometimes, unresolved memories or traumas, anxiety, depression, self-criticism, identity issues, cultural conditioning or daily stressors can stand in the way of our sense of vitality and efficacy in life. I provide clients with a supportive, non-judgmental space (with a bit of humor when appropriate) to process psychological distress and get to the root of what is keeping you from orienting toward more authenticity and balance.
