Kelly Murray (She/Her)

EMDR

Attachment and somatic based EMDR.

Sensorimotor

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy draws from somatic therapies, neuroscience, attachment theory, and cognitive approaches, as well as from the Hakomi Method. It is successful in treating trauma, attachment issues, limiting beliefs/cognitions, patterned intense emotion and in developing/restoring parts of the personality.

Psychodynamic 

An approach that helps people understand how their past experiences and unconscious mind influence their current feelings and behaviors. I am influenced by jungian thought and have studied with Donald Kaslched PhD for over 4 years.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

An approach to psychotherapy that identifies and addresses sub-personalities/families within each person’s mental system. These sub-personalities consist of wounded parts and painful emotions such as anger and shame, and parts that try to control and protect the person from the pain of the wounded parts. The sub-personalities are often in conflict with each other and with one’s core Self. I also utilize Janina Fisher's Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment model that is influenced by IFS.

Relationship / Marriage Issues

In therapy, we may explore issues within your romantic/significant other relationship, friendships, family relationships, relationships with colleagues and bosses and/or childrearing. I often employ the lens of attachment theory when working with relationships.

Eating Disorder

I treat Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, Anorexia, Disordered Eating, Overexercise and body image related issues. I often refer to a nutritionist and work in conjunction to create and meet treatment goals. I operate under the Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating paradigms. I recieved my Eating Disorders Certification through Lewis & Clark College in 2008.

PTSD

I specialize working with early childhood trauma/developmental trauma, attachment trauma and single incident trauma. I use the TIST model by Janina Fisher and have completed her level 1 and 2 training, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (level 1 and 2 Trained) EMDR, and Jungian approaches to treat PTSD.

Anxiety

I work with anxiety using Jungian, IFS, and sensorimotor approaches.

Depression

I seek to understand the wisdom of depression and the message it holds. When depression presents itself, there can often be subtle or not so subtle obstacles to confront. This could include a crisis of meaning, frequent negative beliefs, low quality relationships, a tendency to not want or need, and or difficulty being playful and/or creative. I use jungian, TIST/IFS and Sensorimotor as treatment methods.
