Clients I Work With
Hi there, I'm Tedra! If you’re carrying the weight of trauma, loss, or overwhelming stress, you don't have to keep powering through it alone. I’m an LCPC, CRC, and EMDR-trained therapist providing trauma-focused therapy for people who feel stuck in fight-or-flight, overwhelmed, numb, or constantly on edge. While I have extensive experience working with first responders, veterans, and high-responsibility professions, I also enjoy supporting adults, teens, and children from all walks of life with a warm, engaging, and supportive style.
Approach
I use evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, DBT, and ACT to help clients process critical incidents and complex trauma, build emotion regulation skills, strengthen relationships, and feel more grounded in daily life.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
My approach is warm, compassionate, and direct, tailored to each clients' unique needs. I also believe humor can be a meaningful part of the therapy process. If you’re seeking confidential, trauma-informed care (including support from a therapist familiar with first responder and military culture), I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.
