Getting to know Kenneth Gardner

You deserve a therapist who can handle the heavy things with steadiness, clarity, and compassion. Before stepping fully into the clinical world, I served over 34 years in law enforcement, including command-level work in homicide. My career taught me how people respond under extreme stress, how trauma shows up in the body, and how resilience can be built even in the hardest circumstances. It also taught me how to stay calm, steady, and fully present when someone needs support the most. My clinical path began in 2018, when I opened my private practice with a commitment to helping people heal from trauma in a way that feels safe, grounded, and empowering. Alongside my practice, I spent four years as a Clinical Director, supporting clinicians, shaping treatment programs, and ensuring clients received high-quality, trauma-informed care. That leadership experience strengthened my ability to guide both clients and teams through complex emotional landscapes. Later, I spent two years working in a state psychiatric clinic, supporting individuals facing significant emotional and behavioral challenges. That experience deepened my understanding of trauma, environment, and human resilience, and it strengthened my ability to stay attuned even when someone is struggling deeply.

What should a new client know about working with you?

When you come to see me, you can expect a steady, straightforward, and compassionate space. My job is to help you understand what’s happening inside you, why it makes sense, and how to move toward the life you want with more clarity and confidence. I don’t rush people, and I don’t push you into anything you’re not ready for. We move at a pace that feels safe and manageable. I’ll help you stay grounded as we explore the things that feel heavy or overwhelming, and I’ll always make sure you have tools you can use outside of session.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Today, as a master’s-level psychologist and LLP specializing in trauma, EMDR, and neuroexperiential Brainspotting, I blend these approaches with practical, everyday tools that help you think more clearly, regulate emotions, and feel more in control of your life. If you’re looking for someone who can hold space for the difficult things without judgment—and help you grow stronger from them—I’m here to walk that path with you.
