Misty Watkins, Licensed Professional Counselor

I’m trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and I use it to help you gently process and heal from past experiences at a pace that feels right for you. I also weave in mindfulness, relaxation, and talk therapy to help you feel more grounded, and to give you tools you can actually use in everyday life. Most importantly, I strive to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and truly heard. Therapy with me is a partnership. We will move at your pace and focus on what matters most to you, every step of the way.

Most importantly, I strive to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and truly heard. Therapy with me is a partnership. We’ll move at your pace and focus on what matters most to you, every step of the way. In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and talking about what’s been going on in your life, along with what you’re hoping to change or work toward. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out, and it’s okay to be nervous. I’ll meet you where you are. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. No masks, no pressure, just real support and understanding. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to support and guide you with tools, insight, and strategies that can help reduce your struggles and move you toward your goals. My focus is on creating a comfortable space where you feel heard, understood, and supported from the very beginning.
