Rory Bergstrom

If you've tried talk therapy but still feel stuck, I offer a different kind of support. I provide trauma-informed therapy for adults in Tucson and across Arizona, in person and online. Using EMDR, somatic therapy, and ketamine-assisted therapy, I help people heal from trauma and move toward a life of greater connection and vitality. I especially welcome LGBTQIA+ adults, people with ADHD and autism, older adults, and people navigating PTSD, complex trauma, burnout, chronic illness, grief and loss, and issues related to sexuality and identity.

I am trained in EMDR, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Certified Psychedelic Therapist.

I integrate mindfulness, relational therapy, and somatic work to support deep nervous system healing. My approach is grounded in a commitment to collaborative, affirming work that takes the whole person into account.

If you’ve been struggling, I want you to know it’s not a personal failure. Much of our pain is shaped by collective trauma and the systems we live in. Naming those wounds can be a powerful part of the healing process. I believe joy, connection, and play are necessary conditions for us to thrive, helping us create more liberated futures for ourselves and our communities.

My style is warm, engaging and collaborative. I believe that humor, playfulness and joy are vital to our work together-especially when we are navigating difficult waters in therapy. In our first session I won't just ask you about the challenges that brought you to therapy, but also what lights you up, what brings you strength and resilience. I'll also send you home with a skill that you can start practicing right away-so that you can feel forward momentum from our very first meeting.
