Feeling Stuck, Overwhelmed, or Held Back by the Same Old Patterns?
Talk therapy is helpful—but sometimes it only scratches the surface. EMDR therapy goes deeper, helping you shift long-standing patterns and feel real relief, often more quickly. If you're feeling stuck in anxiety, past experiences, or unhealthy relationship dynamics, EMDR can help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
At Her Path Therapy, Dr. Patricia Keller specializes in helping high-achieving women navigate life’s challenges with depth and intention. Using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and other evidence-based methods, we support clients through major transitions, self-doubt, perfectionism, and the lingering effects of past experiences. This is a space to gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful change.
What is EMDR Therapy and How Can It Help You?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy used to help people process unresolved issues and reduce the emotional charge associated with them. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (usually eye movements or tapping) to help you process distressing memories in a way that integrates them into your brain’s natural healing process.
EMDR can be especially effective for women dealing with unresolved issues, feeling stuck, self-esteem issues, perfectionism, trauma and relationship struggles.
In our sessions, we will work together to identify negative beliefs that have been holding you back and replace them with healthier, more empowering ones. It’s a transformative process that can help you move forward without being weighed down by past emotional pain.
Who We Help
We work with women navigating life transitions, relationships, and self-worth, offering therapy virtually in Michigan, South Carolina, Colorado, Missouri and Texas. Many of our clients feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt, unable to break free from the negative beliefs holding them back.
These beliefs can quietly shape our lives, affecting confidence, relationships, career satisfaction, and emotional well-being. Whether you’re a high-achieving professional, or entrepreneur simply trying to figure out why life feels heavier than it should, these beliefs can show up as:
• Chronic anxiety or overthinking
• Feeling emotionally drained or numb
• Struggling with self-esteem and body image
• Staying in unhealthy or one-sided relationships
• Constantly fearing rejection or abandonment
• Avoiding conflict and silencing your needs
• Feeling overwhelmed by guilt, shame, or regret
• Repeating toxic relationship cycles
• Procrastination or self-sabotage when trying to reach goals
Some of the beliefs that might be weighing you down:
• “I’m not enough.”
• “I can’t trust myself.”
• “I’ll never be truly happy.”
• “I’m unlovable.”
• “I’m always the problem.”
• “I have to be perfect to be accepted.”
• “If I relax, everything will fall apart.”
• “My needs don’t matter.”
If any of this resonates, know that you’re not alone — and you don’t have to stay stuck. EMDR can help you process the painful experiences that shaped these beliefs and make room for a life filled with self-compassion, confidence, and healthier relationships.
Let’s work together to help you step into the version of yourself that feels free, grounded, and worthy of the life you want.

EMDR can help process work-related stress, trauma, and burnout, helping clients navigate these challenges and find a healthier work-life balance.
-
EMDR targets the maladaptive beliefs that contribute to perfectionism, people pleasing, low self-esteem, and imposter syndrome. By reprocessing the experiences that shaped these patterns, clients begin to internalize a more realistic and stable self-concept, reducing the need to overperform or self-silence in relationships and professional settings.

EMDR can help with boundary setting by targeting the underlying beliefs that make it hard to say no, such as fear of rejection, guilt, or the need to please others. By processing past experiences where your boundaries were not respected, EMDR helps you build confidence, self-trust, and a stronger sense of self in relationships.
What Life Can Look Like After Therapy
Change is possible — and with the right support, you can break free from the patterns and beliefs that have been holding you back. EMDR therapy can help you release the emotional weight of current and past experiences, so you can step into a more successful and fulfilling life.

• “I am capable of building a life I love.”
