DeAnne Kinsey MA, LMHC
EMDR Certified
EMDRIA Approved Consultant

Hi! I am DeAnne Kinsey. I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specializing in trauma. Big trauma. Little trauma. Anything you consider trauma. I got my Bachelor's degree in Social Work/Sociology from Purdue University. After graduation from Purdue, I got married, worked in the field for a few years, we had children, and I became a stay at home mom. During that time, I also earned my Master's Degree in Counseling and Addictions from Indiana Wesleyan University. I have been in private practice since graduating. I love what I do and am always humbled and honored to go on this healing journey with you.

As your therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.

One method to achieve this goal is through EMDR (eye movement, desensitization, and reprocessing). I am EMDR trained and certified, as well as an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and Coach. This is a highly effective and proven method of therapy allows me to assist clients in processing any level of trauma. It is also a method of working on negative thought or belief about oneself. EMDR works for every trauma from CPTSD, PTSD, grief and loss, anxiety, deep humiliation, and much more. I will continue traditional therapy, but we can incorporate EMDR when appropriate.

While I generally see adult clients only, I also see very young clients (under five years old), especially those who are not yet verbal and have experienced medical trauma.

On a personal note, it is exciting to be following what I believe is God’s plan for me to be a therapist. I think I was a ""therapist"" long before it became my profession, with my first clients being friends and family. Now that I am working in the field, I am blessed to see my personal and professional experiences come together to help benefit others.

My husband and I have been married for forty years! We have two married sons and seven grandchildren. I thoroughly enjoy my family and am thrilled when we can all be together. Laughing out loud with them and with my friends is a favorite thing to do. Fortunately, I have that opportunity frequently whether it be over lunch, dinner, a cup of coffee, or even zoom calls.
