Our Therapists

Hello! 

I am Casey Jackson a Licensed Professional Counselor at EMDR Therapy KC. I am excited to be able to offer services to relieve anxiety, depression, performance anxiety, PTSD, Borderline PDO, and most other diagnoses. 

Diagnoses do not define anyone and know change is not easy but that 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 to help with 504 behavioral plans and IEP’s. I have worked with ages 7- 60+ and with many different diagnoses including Autism and with athletes on performance anxiety.

The majority of my career as a licensed therapist has been in an acute residential setting working with teenagers who have had very pervasive and high levels of trauma in their lives. I have also done trauma work with adults on current and past situations that they feel are still affecting their functioning in life. I am passionate about my job as a counselor and keep in touch with some past clients so I can hear their success stories. 

I use a person-centered approach to counseling. Your goals and feelings are extremely important. The therapeutic relationship between therapist and client should be equal and is the basis for healthy change. Your feelings about me as your counselor are important and I work to regularly ask your opinions about my work with you and appreciate even difficult feedback. I believe modeling the ability to change is extremely important in helping to guide someone through change. Learning communication skills with self and others through therapy builds confidence. 

EMDR is my specialty, however I also incorporate CBT, DBT, Sensorimotor, Family systems theory, ARC (Attachment, Self regulation and Competency) and Neurofeedback. I use only research-based therapy modalities. I work with my patients to understand their therapy goals and guide them towards relief.
