Who you are now is a reflection of your great strength. The human body and brain have a fantastic ability to adapt and change in response to life. Those changes are all for our benefit, to keep us going, to help us to feel whole, to keep us feeling like ourselves and functioning for those we love. Then something happens that throws us off balance, and things start to fall apart. What was once "the answer" to our problem has become a part of the problem. At this time, you may need the expertise of someone who knows how to heal. My passion is to help people like you heal from past experiences. Walking with others who are both brave and willing to a place of wholeness is my life's mission.
I have specialty training in Somatic Attachment Focused EMDR trauma therapy as well as Bio-Neurofeedback brain training techniques to help engage your mind, body, and brain in more effective ways to calm your nervous system and jump-start the healing process. My therapeutic approach allows me to work with natural body rhythms and memories uniquely and powerfully to help you feel better faster and more completely. In our work together, we can utilize the techniques of biofeedback, memory reprocessing, relaxation training, and mindfulness to help your system heal in ways you probably don't realize are contributing to how you are feeling right now.
Everyone deserves an opportunity to heal. It would be a great joy to help you on your journey towards feeling whole again and to assist you in having a different relationship with your life in a way that leaves you feeling more whole and fulfilled.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kelly Waggoner. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Obviously, I don't know Kelly personally.
Professionally however, I would hope that my answers to the questions which proceeded my writing this, are sufficient to serve as a review in their own right. I'm aware they were kept confidential by default; I gave Kelly full marks on all accounts, for those who don't know.
And that might as well be the extent of it.
I can't possibly recommend Kelly highly enough, to anyone it may concern; and I can think of no reason why any further commentary on part, would be either necessary, or beneficial for that matter—so this ends here.

Kelly is probably the most relatable counselor I have ever had. She is patient and attempts to understand me. I highly recommend choosing her for your counseling needs.

She is great, always made me feel better even if I wasn’t motivated to feel better. I will miss her after having to move home away from New Mexico. I highly recommend!

I'd never experienced EMDR before I started therapy with Kelly Waggoner. I had no idea how healing it could be for my PTSD. She's given me a number of helpful tools along with the EMDR therapy to heal from and diminish my symptoms of PTSD. I believe her expertise in EMDR is the reason I've been able to reprocess my traumatic memories, and really heal from my PTSD. I couldn't be happier with my progress and my therapist, Kelly Waggoner!

In the short time I’ve been talking with Kelly, I have already noticed a difference my mental health. She truly seems to understand what I am experiencing and her guidance has been very helpful so far. I am thankful for Kelly and Betterhelp.
