Great to meet you!

My name is Jill Belair and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I help clients break free from the lasting impact of trauma using EMDR, IFS and other targeted evidence-based techniques. My work is focused on real outcomes—reducing triggers, calming the nervous system, and helping you feel more present, empowered, and in control of your life. With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I have helped many people live healthy, happy lives.

My approach to therapy

Is traditional talk therapy not working? Have you tried EMDR (Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy) or IFS (Internal Family Systems)? They are psychotherapy approaches, based on scientific evidence, to treat trauma. If you are feeling stuck in anxiety, overwhelmed by your emotions, or constantly on edge, you're not alone. Trauma can show up in ways that don't always make sense-overthinking, emotional reactivity, difficulty relaxing, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. You may have tried coping strategies before, but nothing seems to create lasting change.

-That's where I come in.

What you can expect from me

Reaching out can feel like a big step, especially if you've been carrying this for a long time. You don't have to do it alone. When you're ready, I'm here to support you in moving forward. I will focus on your strengths to motivate you. Many clients report that they enjoy sessions with me and feel like they get a lot accomplished. I will usually suggest some kind of "work" or practice of a technique in-between sessions to help you utilize the skills you learn in session.
