Janel Beidel, LCSW, EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist

I have been gifted with the ability to allow people to feel seen, heard, understood, and not judged; truly able to be yourself. I cultivate an environment that is filled with compassion, humor - lots of it (laughter always helps!), learning, and growth. I have my own journey of feeling stifled and where I’ve lost myself. I do recognize that your path is your own and we will honor that in our time together. I share this about myself simply because I want you to know — I get it!

I approach therapy through a trauma-informed lens and will help you reflect back on things from the past that have influenced this thing that makes you feel “stuck” and unable to be your authentic self. You might be thinking “I didn’t have trauma in my life.” But the truth is, what seems simple (like not being invited to parties that all your classmates were invited to) can be traumatic. We all have our own traumas. That is what shapes and forms the beliefs we hold about ourself — “I’m not good enough”, “I’m not loveable”, “I’m not worthy”, etc. In our time together, we will get to those things in life and heal those experiences so that they don’t hinder you anymore.

Your life was made to be different from everyone else. So be YOU! That’s who this world needs you to be.
