Adrienne Hermes, LPC, CYT, C-DBT

Welcome. I am Adrienne Hermes, a licensed therapist specializing in trauma, anxiety, panic, and relationship concerns. I provide online therapy throughout Pennsylvania including EMDR therapy, IFS informed therapy, somatic therapy, and mindfulness based stress reduction. My work helps people who may understand why they feel anxious, overwhelmed or stuck, but still find that their body and nervous system react as though something is wrong. 

​

Therapy with me goes beyond simply changing your thoughts. Together, we work with both the mind and body to understand patterns that developed to protect you and help your nervous system develop a greater sense of safety, flexibility, and control. 

​

Trauma, both within and outside relationships, can cause us to fall out of attunement with ourselves. Protective patterns may show up as hypervigilence, anxiety, panic, overthinking, people pleasing, perfectionism, emotional disconnection, or difficulty feeling safe in relationships. These responses often made sense at one point in your life, even when they're no longer serving you.

​

​Using approaches including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS) somatic strategies, DBT, and mindfulness, we'll build awareness of your thoughts, emotions, physical reactions, and patterns without judgement. From there, we can work toward responding rather than reacting, creating more space for connection, confidance, and calm. 

​

Throughout my 20+ year career, I have worked as a therapist, and as a clinical and operations leader in hospital and community behavioral health settings. That experience gives me a unique understanding of how people function within complicated systems; internally, within families and relationships, and in demanding professional environments.
