Clinical Therapist and Trauma Specialist
Breanna Todd
LPC, EMDR
Therapy for ages 17+
I’m a trauma therapist and EMDR practitioner who believes therapy is a profoundly human experience. My goal is to partner with you in healing, meeting you where you are with compassion, acceptance, and understanding.
Creating a safe, respectful, and supportive space is central to my approach. I tailor therapy to your unique needs and experiences, honoring your mind, body, and soul. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex trauma and PTSD, domestic violence, sexual assault, anxiety, relationship and attachment challenges, and struggles with sexual identity or expression. You are the expert in your own life, and I’m honored to walk alongside you on this journey.
A little about me:
Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with friends, reading, experimenting in the kitchen, playing video games, or indulging in reality TV. I also love snuggling with and training my German Shepherd, Kane.

Therapy Modalities
Used by Breanna
Click here for more detailed information on therapeutic modalities.
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented type of talk therapy that can help manage mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, and emotional concerns, such as coping with grief or stress.
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is frequently used as an evidence-based psychotherapy, helping people heal by accessing and healing their protective and wounded inner parts.
-
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories.
-
Somatic interventions are therapeutic techniques that focus on the body and its relationship with the mind and emotions. They aim to promote physical and psychological well-being by addressing bodily sensations, movement, and awareness.
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of talk therapy, specially adapted for people who experience emotions very intensely.
-
Emotionally Focused Therapy privileges emotion and emotion regulation, shaping key emotional experiences in session, where the therapist guides clients into and through the emotional moments that define their sense of self and of others towards a new sense of balance competence and connection.
-
TF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment approach designed to help children, adolescents, and their parents (or caregivers) cope with the emotional and behavioral difficulties resulting from trauma, particularly child maltreatment.
“I want clients to feel safe, respected, and authentically cared for in the presence of their therapist. I fully believe that healing is possible when the therapeutic process is tailored to you, and your mind, body, and soul are being honored.”
