Getting to know Kamakshi Boyle

Hello! My name is Kamakshi Sankar Boyle (she/her/hers). I am a Trauma Therapist in the Rockville, Maryland area. I completed a Master of Science degree in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University in 2004. Prior to that I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Women's Studies from Ohio State University in 2002. During my formal education, I trained in community nonprofits in South India, Southeast DC, and Harlem, New York focusing on complex trauma, mental health, addiction, and grief in children and families. I completed Post-Masters training in Internal Family Systems, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Theory, Emotional Freedom Techniques, the Safe and Sound Protocol, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. I earned my Certified credential in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) in 2020. Learn more about EMDR HERE! I earned my 500 hour yoga teaching credential also in 2020. I love incorporating yoga asana (movement) and pranayama (breathwork) into trauma therapy work. Read more about Yoga HERE! I have worked in the field of trauma treatment for almost 20 years. I went into private practice in 2012 after many years of nonprofit community field work. I am an Adjunct Clinical Faculty member at University of Maryland School of Social Work and have taught courses in Individual Clinical Practice, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Treatment, Clinical Applications of Mindfulness, and Social Work with Immigrants and Refugees. I love spending time with my family, including my two school-age children and two rescue pets- Lucie the dog and Luca the black cat! I love reading historical fiction, watching old sitcoms, listening to 90's hip-hop, practicing yoga, dancing in my kitchen, eating chocolate, and enjoying nature, especially the sunshine, mountains and water. I strive to support social justice activism, humanitarian leadership, poetry, art, music, and indigenous healing in our local and global community.
