Stephen Hudson

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years’ experience in mental health counseling. Growing up with depression and anxiety, I was encouraged to bottle up my feelings and often felt judged, different, and dismissed. I became a mental health counselor because I want to support others who experience inner turmoil and need support systems to help them process feelings of despair, depression, or traumatic memories. I know firsthand that the work isn’t easy, so I will be right there with you as we work to address the negative experiences that hold you back.

I am specially trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and Somatic Experiencing (SE). Through these approaches, we will work together to reprocess and change the emotions, behaviors, and thoughts causing you pain to help you minimize pain and make daily life more manageable.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a treatment that involves moving your eyes in a certain way while you process difficult memories or distressing experiences.

Somatic Experiencing (SE) addresses the root causes of trauma and anxiety symptoms by bringing awareness to your body and helping release the symptoms of stress and trauma stored in the body.

Clients facing post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorders, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and related trauma disorders will find EMDR and Somatic Experiencing enormously beneficial. In addition, I can successfully apply these approaches to many other mental health issues. As we apply these tools for growth, you can look forward to relief from daily tension, chronic pain, and recurring distress. In addition, clients often experience an increase in self-awareness, confidence, and resilience through this approach.
