Welcome!
Life is not always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people need a little bit of help to work through some of life's more challenging problems.

Hi, I'm Kathleen Phelps
My interest in working in the field of mental health started early for me, and I was fortunate enough to follow up this passion with both an undergraduate and graduate degree. I did my first graduate program internship at a psychiatric intensive outpatient program attached to a local hospital. My final year’s internship was at a large HMO’s department of outpatient psychiatry and addiction medicine, where I was later hired and worked for 16 years.
Let's Work Together
Therapy Services Tailored to Your Needs
Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. And when you’re faced with difficult times, it can feel as if you just can't figure out how to move past things on your own. Therapy can help you manage these challenges with knowledge and support.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR aids in reprocessing past negative memories that are still evoking a high emotional intensity. Much like we process our daily events through our dreams at night, EMDR is a clinical way for formally processing traumatic memories that got “stuck” in your brain.
Trauma & PTSD
Trauma refers to an individual's response to distressing events such as natural disasters, accidents, or abuse. While it's normal to experience stress after such events, some individuals may develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) if symptoms persist and interfere with daily life.
EMDR for Chronic Pain & Illness
I use EMDR to help clients with chronic pain and health issues, which are often tied to other things like past events (especially if the pain was caused by a specific incident) or emotional stress (stress often exacerbates physical pain).
How I can help
With 25+ years of clinical experience in the mental health field, I provide years of experience and guidance with clients who present with complex trauma histories.
I love helping people understand the things that are holding them back by working together to improve connections between their emotional and physical health.
By reprocessing personal history while learning new coping skills, clients can adjust certain behaviors and thoughts to live life in a different, healthier way.
