About Me
Do you ever feel like painful past experiences keep disrupting your present? I have noticed that no matter our backgrounds, we are all struggling with something, and we can often feel alone in navigating our challenges.
Hi! I am Katie Herzer, and I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker because I believe you should never have to struggle alone. Working together, we will create an empowering and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your feelings, experiences, and any past trauma. We will work to understand what may be keeping you stuck in difficult emotions or unhelpful patterns, while building skills to help you move through life’s inevitable stressors.
If you have experienced trauma or painful events, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful tool that helps the nervous system process and release what it has been holding on to so those past experiences no longer feel like they are controlling your present. Instead of just managing the symptoms, EMDR allows us to get to the root of the past wound so you can experience deeper and lasting healing. I have seen how life changing this work can be in reviving a person’s confidence in themselves, and I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.
I offer services in Decatur or Virtually. I will also offer services in Macon starting in November and am currently accepting Middle Georgia Clients Virtually.
