Maryjoy Kearns

The passion I have for empowering others to see their light, their authority and their gift is rooted in my personal story and testimony of resilience, despite adversity.

I am a National Board-Certified (NBCC), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist with extensive training and integration of evidence-based approaches to support survivors of abuse, neglect, abandonment, violence, crime, grief, medical trauma, and exposure or vicarious trauma.

I gained as much expertise from my personal life experiences, leading me to specialize in mental health wellness and treatment for business owners, professionals, first responders, young adults, and college-/career-focused individuals with childhood trauma and other abandonment and attachment wounds contributing to symptoms such as PTS, depression, anxiety, grief, and stress.

I value authenticity and genuine connection, and I strive to be a model and example to help clients build safety, trust, and hope. My approach consists of transparency, honesty, support, reflection, acceptance, humor, and creativity. Witnessing your empowerment, confidence, and growth is a gift and reward in this process together.

Our first session together will be casual, comfortable, and connective. There is no pressure or expectation to show up being anyone but yourself. We'll cover the important details within our conversation and just take time to know one another. You can let me know what you expect and I'll make sure you know what you can expect from me. The goal is to reduce stress so my hope is that you feel at home. I'm transparent and real, so we'll spend time learning about each other, usually laughing, while still honoring your story and your goals.
