About Joanne Seymour MS,LPC, NCC

I create a safe place to identify and discuss issues that impact your day to day life. As your therapist, I will work with you to identify what may or may not be working in your life. Through self exploration and problem solving we work together to make healthy changes and resolve concerns.

We each have an internal “story” of our lives. Our likes, dislikes, skills, challenges, as well as life events, the world, media and family–all influence our choices, how we view ourselves and what we think is possible.

Therapy is your place to explore and work out how perceptions and situations impact you. Together we will develop strategies, celebrate milestones and try to manage the unexpected with a plan that will match to your needs. Adjusting present perceptions and expectations as well as resolving challenges from your past can help you manage stress and feel better day to day.

I am a certified EMDR clinician.
EMDR is an evidence-based, effective therapy for trauma and other issues. EMDR allows the client to re-process past trauma working toward less distress and disruptive symptoms.
