Keeley Teemsma(She/Her/Hers)

Keeley partners with adults whose symptoms stem from unresolved trauma, chronic stress, or experiences that gradually overwhelmed their nervous system. Many of her clients are women who appear highly capable outwardly yet contend with ongoing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, emotional reactivity, or a lingering sense of being “stuck” despite years of insight-driven work. They often arrive understanding why they feel as they do, but find that insight alone hasn’t translated into real, lasting relief.

Her clinical approach is primarily anchored in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Keeley applies EMDR to address both acute and layered trauma, including relational wounds, workplace stress, and enduring patterns shaped by instability, pressure, or emotional inconsistency. Treatment centers on how past experiences are encoded in the nervous system and how those memory networks continue to shape present-day reactions, even when circumstances have shifted. EMDR helps calm physiological responses, loosen deeply held beliefs, and rebuild a genuine sense of safety and self-trust.

While EMDR serves as the core of her work, Keeley also weaves in psychodynamic, attachment-based, ACT, CBT, and REBT-informed methods to support cognitive integration, behavioral change, and meaning-making. This integrative style allows therapy to move with purpose—helping clients track what shifts internally as trauma is processed and how to carry those changes into everyday life. Sessions are focused and engaged, ideal for clients seeking depth without getting lost in endless exploration.

Keeley brings over 17 years of experience across psychotherapy, research, and clinical leadership, with particular expertise in trauma, OCD, neurodivergence, and high-achieving adults. Her style is steady and direct, with an emphasis on helping clients feel more grounded, clear, and less reactive in their day-to-day lives.

She offers in-person sessions in Brooklyn as well as virtual therapy for clients in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Florida.
