Casey Jackson, MS / LPC

Hello — I'm Casey Jackson, a Licensed Professional Counselor at EMDR Therapy KC.

I'm excited to offer services to relieve anxiety, depression, performance anxiety, PTSD, Borderline PD, and most other diagnoses. Diagnoses do not define anyone, and change is not easy — but there is light on the other side. Relief can be in your future.

I have worked in the mental health field for 20 years, transitioning from a Behavioral Health Tech to a Community Case Manager, and for the last 6 years a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have experience working with school systems on 504 behavioral plans and IEPs, and have worked with ages 7 to 60+ — including clients with autism and athletes navigating performance anxiety.

The majority of my career as a licensed therapist has been in an acute residential setting working with teenagers who experienced pervasive, high-level trauma. I've also done trauma work with adults on current and past situations that they feel are still affecting their functioning in life. I'm passionate about my work and keep in touch with some past clients so I can hear their success stories.

I use a person-centered approach. Your goals and feelings are extremely important. The therapeutic relationship between therapist and client should be equal — and it's the basis for healthy change. Your feelings about me as your counselor matter, and I work to regularly ask your opinions about my work with you. I appreciate even difficult feedback. Modeling the ability to change is part of how I help guide someone through change. Learning communication skills with self and others through therapy builds confidence.

EMDR is my specialty, and I also incorporate evidence-based modalities to fit each person:

• EMDR
• CBT
• DBT
• Sensorimotor
• Family Systems
• ARC (Attachment, Self-regulation, Competency)
• Neurofeedback

I work with my patients to understand their therapy goals and guide them toward relief.
