About Us
Kenneth Gardner MSCP, LLP
Clinical Psychologist, Verified EMDR Therapist, EMDRIA Presenter, BSP Neuro Experiential Therapist
I specialize in trauma, which is often the foundation of various disorders. I support and guide individuals who have endured painful and devastating events. Trauma can result in a perception of constant danger, feelings of betrayal or harm, and difficulties in trusting others. It can also lead to a sense of insecurity in relationships. I aim to help you process your traumatic experiences and rebuild trust in existing and new relationships.
By exploring how personal growth, family, and community influences shape your reactions, I assist you in identifying manipulative dynamics and unrealized choices and transforming them into positive, empowering solutions.
By actively listening, validating, and reflecting, I clarify complex emotions and situations, helping you discover alternatives, set realistic expectations, and explore new growth possibilities.
We are dedicated to deeply understanding trauma, developing meaningful solutions, and nurturing healthier relationships that foster healing.

My Mentor, My Friend
Sandra Paulsen, PhD.
Sandra’s work has transformed the mental health field. Her books, Looking Through the Eyes of Trauma and Dissociation and The Neurobiology and Treatment of Traumatic Dissociation, are key resources for understanding and treating trauma. Her recent works, All the Colors of Me and When There Are No Words, reflect her dedication to integrating EMDR therapy with innovative methods for addressing complex and preverbal trauma.
A sought-after international presenter, Sandra has led workshops worldwide—from Hong Kong to Brazil—and offers online courses through the Steve Frankel Group. Her teachings combine EMDR, somatic therapy, ego state work, and neurobiology, empowering mental health professionals to support profound healing.
More than a mentor, Sandra has been a friend and guide. Her wisdom, kindness, and support have profoundly shaped my personal and professional journey.
You might be wondering how effective EMDR is. I’d like to show you EMDR at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois, previously known as the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. This groundbreaking treatment process, emphasizing its effectiveness is showcased in the Griffin Studio, which features interactive exhibits.
