Kathryn Nevin

Primarily a trauma specialist since 2015, I treat both childhood trauma (to include attachment disorders) and other trauma experienced later in life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in a wide variety of clinical settings. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. As a trauma survivor myself, I have great respect for those who wish to embark on the journey of healing. I also help those with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, relationship issues (to include codependency), and several other treatment areas. My style and my strengths are the same; I work with warmth and compassion and in an inquisitive, and at times challenging way, but always with respect. I am licensed in VA and PA and I see individual adults, ages 25 and up.

In trauma work, I first seek to empower you by giving you information about how trauma affects the brain and nervous system and specific ways of calming them, using a body-based approach to stabilize troubling symptoms. We can then go on to work on emotional regulation and choose a treatment option(s) that will work best for you. I work eclectically according to what you need. I offer several treatment options, including EMDR, Brainspotting, and the Flash Technique.

Clients have shared with me that they benefit from learning about the neuroscience behind trauma. They gain greater insight into their issues and ensuing symptoms and learn how to cope with them successfully. They feel empowered to self-rescue and take charge of their lives.
