Kalli Portillo, IMH24576
Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern, EDMRIA-Approved EMDR Therapist,
I’m Kalli, a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern, trained in providing safe, inclusive, and affirming spaces for people of any gender, sexuality, race, culture, and belief system. I’m an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist who loves helping clients heal and find hope. EMDR is considered the “gold standard” in treating trauma, grief, and anxiety. For clients with depression, difficult phases of life, or relational challenges, I use a kind and gentle approach to talk therapy that empowers clients to find strength from within.
I offer a trauma-informed approach to avoid retraumatization. Often anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and other symptoms occur as a result of trauma. It is my belief that we should resolve the cause of your symptoms in therapy (which is often trauma) rather than simply using coping skills to reduce the symptoms.
Effective therapy is deeply personal and I have found that utilizing a relational approach is the best way to connect with my clients. Trauma therapy, including EMDR, can be extremely difficult so safety and trust are a vital part of the therapeutic process.
