Jodi HaleyLPCC, MPTM, EMDR Trained

Jodi is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a passion for working with individuals navigating the many stressors of life, as well as supporting couples and families as they seek to reconcile and restore relationships. She is trained in EMDR, EFT, DBT, CBT, IFS, and a variety of other therapeutic modalities.

Humans are created for connection and are born equipped to form secure attachments with those they rely on for safety, security, companionship, and love. When someone experiences betrayal by a person they trust, the nervous system can become locked in survival mode, activating fight, flight, or freeze responses for extended periods of time. Living in a prolonged state of high alert and stress can take a significant toll on both physical and emotional health.

Individuals impacted by betrayal trauma often experience rumination, hypervigilance, trust difficulties, self-doubt, over-control, and intense feelings of confusion, fear, anger, and sadness, and may begin to question their own reality. Her EMDR training is particularly well suited for this work, as it allows clients to calm their nervous systems by reprocessing and desensitizing memories that have become "stuck," even after years of insight or talk therapy.

She is excited to continue her work at Counseling Alliance and is currently pursuing certification and advanced training through the Association for Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists, with a focus on the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model. Betrayal trauma is a specialty she holds close to her heart, and she is deeply committed to walking alongside those experiencing emotional distress due to violations of trust and attachment injuries. Together, clients work toward building emotional safety, developing practical skills, and nurturing resilience so they can move forward with clarity and confidence.
