As your therapist, I want to welcome you to our therapy space. I strive

to provide you with a safe and compassionate environment where you

can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.

We will focus on cultivating self-compassion, an understanding

approach towards yourself during times of struggle or difficulty.

Together, we will work towards fostering a deeper sense of self. We will

focus on key components like self-kindness, common humanity, and

mindfulness. I believe in the value of shared human experiences.

Therapeutic interventions may include and are not limited to guided

meditation, cognitive reframing, and other creative expressive

therapies. We will explore your experiences with warmth and empathy,

fostering a deeper connection to your inner wisdom and resilience.

Jaime Seelmeyer

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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Kentucky

Searching for therapists in Kentucky starts with finding someone whose training and experience match what you want support with. Across the state, therapy needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas, so it helps to narrow your search by concern, specialty, and care style. You might look for a therapist who works with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and format also matter when comparing Kentucky therapists. If you live near Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, or a smaller community, you may want to decide whether in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or a mix of both fits your schedule best. You can also compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.

The cost of mental health care in Kentucky varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process clearer by letting you enter your insurance details, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and find therapists who match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your location and plan as you search. Browse therapists in Kentucky, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
