Kristin Sheehan

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor

Chronic illness and anxiety affect every part of you: body, mind, and spirit. As an experienced holistic psychotherapist, I offer virtual EMDR and Somatic Therapy to help you heal at the root level by releasing trauma, reconnecting with your inner resilience, and creating a life rooted in meaning, hope, and wholeness.

About Me

Living with chronic illness and anxiety can impact your entire being. As a holistic psychotherapist, I deeply understand these challenges. I offer virtual EMDR and Somatic Therapy to gently release trauma at its root. We can work together to reconnect with your inner resilience. My aim is to help you cultivate a life rooted in meaning, hope, and wholeness. All sessions take place from your own comfortable space.

Approach

Healing unfolds through paced, body-aware steps that honor how long-term health struggles and worry show up in your daily life. I meet you via secure telehealth from Los Angeles, working in English so sessions fit your home rhythm and energy. Sessions often weave EMDR processing with somatic tracking and short mindfulness practices, plus practical, low-energy exercises to try between meetings and refine what actually helps. This way of working tends to suit adults and elders seeking steady, embodied change while managing medical limits.
