Kellie Burgess, CSW

Something from your past may still feel like it is happening in your present. You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that are hard to change, or like you are carrying more than most people can see. Even when life looks manageable on the outside, it can feel very different internally.

I specialize in helping women heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and the effects of chronic stress and emotional overwhelm. Many of the women I work with are high functioning and used to holding things together while feeling exhausted, disconnected, or on edge inside. Therapy can be a place where you finally have space to slow down, understand what you are feeling, and begin to feel more like yourself again.

I am trained in EMDR therapy, an evidence-based treatment for trauma and PTSD. EMDR helps the brain reprocess distressing memories, so they feel less intense and less present in daily life. Trauma can come from a single event or from ongoing experiences such as childhood trauma, relational trauma, or emotional neglect. It can show up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, irritability, numbness, or feeling stuck in patterns you cannot seem to break.

In our work together, we also focus on how trauma lives in the body and nervous system, and how to help you feel more grounded and regulated in your daily life.

I also support maternal mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting, as well as women with ADHD who feel overwhelmed, disorganized, or frustrated with themselves. Together we build insight, practical tools, and more self-compassion so you can move through life with greater ease and clarity.

My style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I will meet you where you are and work alongside you as you create meaningful change. You will not feel rushed, and you will not feel alone in the process.

This is a space where you can show up exactly as you are.​​
