Getting to know Kali Purnell

Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or intimidating—it can be a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I take a relaxed, down-to-earth approach to therapy, creating a space where you can be yourself without judgment. Whether we’re exploring deep emotions, tackling life’s stressors, or finding healing through the things you love (yes, your favorite fandoms, games, and stories are welcome here!), therapy with me is all about authenticity, connection, and growth. As a Geek Therapist, EMDR Trained, and Licensed Independent Social Worker, I integrate traditional therapy techniques with pop culture, storytelling, and evidence-based practices to help you process trauma, manage anxiety and depression, and navigate life’s challenges. Whether we’re using video game narratives to explore resilience, superhero metaphors to reframe personal strengths, or mindfulness techniques tailored to your world, we’ll find the approach that works best for you. ?? What You Can Expect: ? A warm, laid-back, and affirming space where you can be yourself. ? Geek therapy—using fandoms, gaming, and pop culture to support your growth. ? Evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness tailored to your needs. ? Support for anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and self-exploration. Therapy should feel like a collaboration—not a lecture. I’m here to meet you where you are, help you unpack the tough stuff, and support you in building the life you want. Ready to get started? Let’s connect.
