"BeYou To The Fullest" is the principle I live by, and it's what I want for every person I work with. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from the University of Kentucky. I help adolescents and adults across Kentucky heal from trauma, manage anxiety and depression, and build lives that feel like their own.

Much of my work focuses on trauma and PTSD, anxiety and panic, stress, and substance use. I also support clients with relationships, family dynamics, identity, women's issues, and the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy and postpartum. I specialize in working with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) clients. With me, you won't have to explain or defend who you are before we can get to the real work.

I see therapy as whole-person care for mind, body, and spirit. Together we'll build coping skills that actually work, strengthen the way you communicate, and make changes that last. I offer sessions in person or through secure telehealth, on weekdays and at some evening and weekend times, so therapy fits into your life instead of the other way around.

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying grief that feels heavier than expected, struggling with ADHD, or simply trying to make sense of a difficult season in life. Whether you're an adult navigating life's challenges or a child learning how to express big emotions, therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and discover new ways forward.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who enjoys working with adolescents and adults as they navigate the challenges life brings. I have experience supporting clients with trauma, depression, anxiety, and a range of other mental health concerns, and I have a particular heart for working with women and families.

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine human connection. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door, and you don’t have to worry about being judged. I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where you can be yourself, feel heard, and know that you’re not facing things alone.

Jaime Seelmeyer

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


Offering somatic and energetic focused therapy in Arizona and Kentucky via telehealth:

I support client who identify as neurodivergent, sensitive, empathic, intuitive or creative. With twelve years experience providing trauma-focused support, I weave together talk therapy with somatic (body-focused) techniques, energy psychology and energy therapies for highly effective therapy. My approach supports the holistic self by meeting body, mind, emotion, energy and soul.

We all experience phases of disharmony, ebbs and flows in life, times of thriving, and times of struggle. When those times of struggle manifest as chronic stress, anxiety, complex trauma, depression, unresolved grief, or feeling disconnected from your true self, finding support from a neutral source is a necessary path toward reclaiming who you are.

In addition to my master's education in clinical mental health counseling, I am also a Reiki master-level practitioner and teacher, Certified Yoga Teacher, Spinal Energetics practitioner, and shamanic practitioner. I offer these tools to complement traditional talk therapy.

Holistic healing modalities may include somatic/ body-based psychotherapy, energy psychology, therapeutic yoga and therapeutic meditation.

This integrative approach addresses mind, body, emotion, energy, and soul to restore whole health.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through times of challenge, transition, and growth. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in therapies that are supported by research and guided by a recovery-oriented model—meaning I believe in your capacity to heal, grow, and lead a life that aligns with your values.

I specialize in evidence-based psychotherapy such as:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
  • Integrated Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT)
  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

I received my undergraduate degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and my Master’s in Clinical Social Work from the University of Chicago, where I was trained in evidence-based, client-centered approaches to mental health.
