Doug Thompson

LSW, MSW, EMDR Trained

“These pains that you feel are messengers. Listen to them. Turn them to sweetness.” -Rumi

Doug seeks to build genuine connections where people feel safe to be themselves and explore the parts of life that feel challenging - trauma, grief, strained relations, depression, mania, anxiety, and whatever else ails them. Putting down the shame and approaching these topics from a stance of curiosity and kindness often grants us access to a version of ourselves that is intuitively wise and healing.

Doug works with adults and adolescents. His work with individuals usually begins with discovering together how their pains and dilemmas make complete sense, given everything they have faced. Then, they chart a path forward, towards greater peace and meaning. The journey often includes addressing the source of one’s pain, such as an old wound that needs healing or a present-day challenge that needs navigating.

Therapy with Doug is tailored and unique to each individual. He brings both evidence-based practices, including EMDR and ACT, and his humanity, including creativity and humor, into sessions. He also enjoys incorporating spirituality and poetry, for those that are interested.
