Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
Trauma is not defined by what happened, but by the impact it has on you. It can live in both the mind and body as a wound that hasn’t fully healed, or that keeps getting reopened when something triggers memories, sensations, emotions, or protective survival responses. You may be carrying the effects of a single-event trauma, such as a car accident, assault, medical trauma, or the sudden loss of a loved one. Or you may be healing from repeated experiences over time, such as childhood abuse, emotionally abusive relationships, chronic invalidation, or long-term stress that shaped how you see yourself and relate to others.
I help adults process what happened so they can stop feeling haunted, stuck, or controlled by the past and begin living more fully and confidently in the present. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but privately struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, hypervigilance, shame, emotional numbness, or feeling “too much” and “not enough” at the same time.
In addition to talk therapy, I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a well-researched and effective treatment for PTSD and trauma. I also integrate parts work (Internal Family Systems/ego state), attachment-focused therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and somatic and nervous system-based approaches to support deep healing and lasting change. For clients who are looking for something more transformational, I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), which can be especially helpful when you feel stuck in old patterns, disconnected from yourself, or when traditional therapy hasn’t gone far enough. My goal is to help you build self-trust, feel more grounded in your body, and move forward with clarity and strength.

Together, we focus on reclaiming safety, resilience, and agency while navigating the complex ways trauma shows up in the body, mind, and relationships.
