Kaylee Nedegaard

As a clinician, I strive to bring a steady, compassionate, and trauma‐informed presence to every session. I work with teens and adults navigating sports performance challenges, major life transitions, relationship stress, trauma symptoms, career and identity exploration, and nervous system dysregulation. My approach is collaborative and solution‐focused, offering a space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and begin to shift patterns that have kept you stuck. Because I am a former gymnast, I understand the pressure, perfectionism, and emotional toll that athletics can place on both the mind and body. I help athletes and high‐performing individuals explore how stress and past experiences show up in their nervous system, and we work together to build regulation skills, confidence, and resilience. Whether you’re struggling to manage emotions, unsure of your next steps, or seeking deeper healing, I’m committed to helping you develop practical tools that support meaningful, long‐term growth.

My approach is warm, affirming, and centered on helping clients create meaningful and sustainable change. I believe every person has strengths that can be built upon, even in life’s most challenging seasons. I draw from evidence‐based modalities—including DBT, ACT, CBT, mindfulness, somatic and mind‐body techniques, Motivational Interviewing, Person‐Centered Therapy, Solution‐Focused Therapy, Strength‐Based Therapy, Positive Psychology, and trauma‐informed practices—to tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.

My work focuses on helping you understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and why those patterns developed in the first place. Together, we strengthen coping skills, improve communication, build healthier relationships, and develop practical strategies that support long‐term growth. Whether you’re navigating trauma symptoms, performance pressure, identity exploration, or emotional overwhelm, therapy is designed to help you reconnect with your nervous system, deepen insight, and move toward lasting emotional well‐being.

You can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported from the very beginning. In our first session, we’ll slow down and get a clear understanding of what brings you in and importance pieces to your life. We’ll explore how these experiences may be affecting your nervous system, emotions, and daily functioning, and begin identifying meaningful goals for therapy.

This initial session is also a chance for you to get a sense of my style and ask any questions you may have. Together, we’ll begin developing practical strategies that help you move forward with confidence. Over time, clients often experience reduced anxiety and stress, improved emotional regulation, healthier relationships, stronger self‐esteem, increased resilience, and a greater sense of balance and purpose. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling understood, supported, and hopeful about the work ahead.
