Keyla Gleave-Perez

I am EMDR trained and certified and provide trauma-informed therapy for adults processing painful memories, difficult childhood experiences, relationship trauma, religious trauma, and other distressing life events. I help clients reduce emotional intensity, understand trauma responses, build safety, and feel more grounded in the present.

I support adults navigating grief, loss, pregnancy loss, relationship endings, family changes, and major life transitions. Grief can bring sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, confusion, or loneliness. I offer a compassionate space to process what happened, make room for your emotions, and begin finding steadiness again without feeling rushed, judged, or pressured to “move on.”

I help adults who feel overwhelmed by racing thoughts, worry, panic, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or feeling like they cannot fully relax. My approach combines practical coping skills with deeper emotional work to help clients understand their anxiety, regulate their nervous system, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and feel more grounded, confident, and in control.

I use CBT to help clients notice unhelpful thought patterns, understand how thoughts affect emotions and behavior, and build practical tools for coping. CBT can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, self-esteem, perfectionism, rumination, and feeling stuck in cycles of worry or self-doubt.

I use IFS-informed therapy to help clients better understand the different parts of themselves, including protective, anxious, wounded, or self-critical parts. This approach can be especially helpful for trauma, attachment wounds, people-pleasing, shame, grief, and patterns that feel hard to change.

I am EMDR trained and certified and use EMDR to support adults processing trauma, grief, painful memories, anxiety connected to past experiences, and distressing life events. EMDR can help reduce the emotional intensity of memories and support clients in feeling more grounded, safe, and present.
