You want positive change

You look fine on the outside, you are “successful” but, you feel like the past still affects you, your work, relationships, and health. You are tired of “pushing through”. You thought you dealt with the past but…

  • You find yourself still repeating old, unhelpful patterns. The negative self-talk and sabotage. You have the same reactions and conflicts with others.

  • Familiar, unwanted negative emotions, sensations, and reactions persist

  • You keep thinking about the past, can’t seem to just let it go

  • There is misalignment between what you know intellectually and what it feels like inside.

You have tried so hard to move past the past.

You’ve self-reflected, you have redefined yourself, tried to do things differently. You have read the self-help books, listened to all the trauma podcasts, you’ve tried talk therapy.

It has all helped…a little. You understand more, you cope a bit better but you need something more.

Kim Austin - Brainspotting & EMDR Therapist

Kim Austin, LCSW is an Atlanta-based trauma therapist specializing in EMDR and Brainspotting therapy as well as trauma therapy intensives. In person therapy in Decatur and online therapy throughout Georgia, Maine, New York, and Florida. Specializing in Trauma, Anxiety & Attachment

My Name is Kim and I can help

My name is Kim Austin. I am trauma therapist and see clients in person in Decatur, GA. I have been therapist for over 20 years. I specialize in treating trauma including childhood and attachment traumas, sexual abuse and assault, medical trauma, and traumatic grief. I am certified (and have advanced training) in EMDR and Brainspotting; two powerful brain based therapies.

Painful and traumatic experiences, the messages you got growing up, the ways you had to bend or hide yourself distort the lenses through which you experience ourselves, others, and the world. I work deeply to help clients to identify, process, and shift these distortions. Experiencing yourself and the world more clearly, believing you are worthy, and safe feels better. And improves relationships, work, and life.

I use my experience, clinical intuition, and humor; tailoring my approach to the person in front of me. I often integrate EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS/parts work, and other therapeutic modalities because they work. And they can often access places and harness capacities that simple talk therapy can’t. I have found this to be personally true with my own therapy.

Specializations in EMDR and Brainspotting: I was trained in EMDR in 2004 and Brainspotting in 2019. I am also an approved Brainspotting Consultant which means I have specialized, advanced training that qualifies me to teach and certify other Brainspotting therapists. To learn more about my work with Brainspotting, listen to this radio interview I did with WERU.
