Megan Kreitzberg, LPCC, RYT- 200hr
I am a dedicated to supporting individuals through their journey of self-discovery and personal growth. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and rooted in evidence-based practices that foster healing and positive change. I believe that as the client, you are the expert on you. I respect your background and worldview and passionately believe in your ability to heal.
I will work with you to create goals for your healing and focus sessions on practical steps to meet those goals. During our sessions, I will support, encourage, and challenge you to think and act in different ways for different results. Some of the ways we engage with this work include talk therapy, art therapy, mindfulness, breathwork, and EMDR therapy for trauma recovery. I’m trained in Expressive Arts Therapy, which we can use to help you work through things in session. I enjoy partnering with you to uncover creative ways to heal and grow, and consider it a true privilege to share time with my clients.
Whether you’re facing difficult emotions, adjusting to life changes, or recovering from past trauma, I’m here to support you in finding clarity, healing, and a renewed sense of self.”

Why Megan Became a Therapist
My passion for therapy comes from my own experience. I know firsthand what it’s like to sit across from a therapist, vulnerable and hoping for change and healing. I have experienced much of my own healing and growth through therapy and believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to heal. Every client deserves healing and compassionate care.
It’s my belief that each individual is inherently worthy of receiving support and guidance as they navigate their journey toward healing and personal growth. My hope is to help you uncover what makes you come alive so you can thrive and feel more at home in your own self.
EMDR Therapy for Trauma Recovery
Trauma can shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. It can live in the body and nervous system long after the event itself has passed, showing up as anxiety, emotional reactivity, numbness, sleep difficulties, intrusive memories, or a constant sense of being “on edge.”
EMDR therapy for trauma recovery offers a gentle, evidence-based way to help your brain and body process painful experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming or stuck.
At Tribe Mind Body Wellness, EMDR is used not to erase your memories, but to help your nervous system release the emotional charge attached to them so you can move forward with more ease, clarity, and connection.
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a research-supported therapy that helps the brain process unresolved or distressing experiences in a more adaptive way.
When something traumatic happens, the brain’s natural processing system can become overwhelmed. Instead of the experience being fully integrated and stored as a past event, it can remain “stuck” and continue to trigger emotional and physical reactions in the present.
EMDR therapy for trauma recovery works by using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, tapping, or tones, while gently focusing on aspects of the memory. This helps the brain reprocess the experience so it can be stored in a way that feels resolved rather than activating.
Over time, clients often notice that memories feel more distant, less charged, and no longer take over their emotional or physical state.
Our Approach at Tribe
At Tribe Mind Body Wellness, EMDR therapy for trauma recovery is offered within a relational, compassionate, and holistic framework.
We believe that healing happens not only through techniques, but through feeling seen, supported, and safe in relationship. EMDR is woven into a therapeutic process that honors your pace, your story, and your strengths.
You do not need to have all the words for what you’ve been through. You do not need to know exactly what you want to work on. Together, we listen to what your nervous system is communicating and allow space for healing to unfold in a way that feels right for you.
What Can EMDR Help With?
EMDR therapy for trauma recovery can be helpful for people who have experienced:
Single-incident trauma, such as accidents, medical events, or assaults
Childhood trauma or neglect
- Religious trauma
Complex or relational trauma
PTSD or symptoms of post-traumatic stress
Anxiety connected to past experiences
Panic attacks or phobias rooted in earlier events
Grief or loss that feels unresolved
Distressing memories that feel “stuck” or intrusive
It can also be helpful when you cannot fully articulate why something feels difficult, but your body and emotions react as if something is wrong.
What EMDR Feels Like
EMDR is not about reliving trauma in a graphic or overwhelming way. The process is paced, collaborative, and grounded in safety.
You remain present, aware, and in control throughout the session. Your therapist supports you in staying connected to your body, your breath, and your sense of safety as you work through experiences in manageable pieces.
Many people describe EMDR as surprisingly gentle and empowering. Over time, they often notice shifts such as:
Less emotional reactivity to past events
A greater sense of calm and stability
More self-compassion and clarity
Feeling more present in daily life
A deeper sense of internal safety
Is EMDR Therapy for Trauma Recovery Right for You?
You might benefit from EMDR therapy for trauma recovery if:
You feel emotionally or physically impacted by past experiences, even if they happened long ago
You notice patterns in relationships, reactions, or beliefs that feel hard to change
You feel “stuck” despite insight, reflection, or talk therapy alone
You want a deeper sense of ease, safety, and freedom in your life
If you’re curious whether EMDR is a good fit, we invite you to reach out for a consultation. We’re happy to answer questions and help you explore what support would feel most helpful right now. Schedule a free consultation.
Healing from Religious Trauma
For many people, faith, spirituality, and religious communities are sources of meaning, connection, and comfort. For others, religious experiences have been confusing, painful, controlling, or harmful. Sometimes both can be true at the same time.
Religious trauma happens when beliefs, teachings, practices, or community dynamics within a religious or spiritual context cause emotional, psychological, or relational harm. This can leave lasting impacts on how you see yourself, your worth, your body, your relationships, and the world around you.
Healing from religious trauma is not about rejecting spirituality or deciding what you should believe. It is about creating space to untangle what was life-giving from what was harmful, and to reclaim your sense of autonomy, safety, and inner truth.
What is Religious Trauma?
Religious trauma can develop when someone is exposed to:
Fear-based teachings about punishment, sin, or eternal consequences
Rigid or absolute belief systems that leave no room for questions, doubt, or nuance
Shame around identity, sexuality, emotions, or personal needs
Control over behavior, relationships, or life choices through spiritual authority
Emotional, spiritual, or psychological abuse within a religious context
Being taught that your worth or safety depends on compliance, purity, or perfection
Over time, these experiences can shape the nervous system and internal world in ways that feel difficult to name but deeply felt.
Our Approach to Religious Trauma
At Tribe Mind Body Wellness, we approach religious trauma with deep respect, curiosity, and compassion.
We do not tell you what to believe or how to relate to spirituality. Instead, we create a space where you can:
Explore your experiences without being judged or dismissed
Name what felt harmful, confusing, or painful
Grieve what was lost, whether that is community, certainty, or a sense of belonging
Reclaim your voice, boundaries, and internal authority
Clarify what values and beliefs feel true and meaningful to you now
For some, healing involves redefining spirituality on their own terms. For others, it means stepping away entirely from religious frameworks. Both paths are valid.
You Deserve a Place to Heal
If you are carrying the effects of religious trauma, you do not have to navigate this alone. Therapy can be a space to gently unpack these experiences, honor your story, and move toward a life that feels more free, grounded, and aligned with who you truly are.
If you would like support in healing from religious trauma, we invite you to reach out for a consultation. We would be honored to walk alongside you.
Signs of Religious Trauma
Religious trauma can show up in many ways, including:
Persistent guilt, shame, or fear connected to beliefs or choices
Anxiety about doing something “wrong” or disappointing an authority or higher power
Difficulty trusting yourself, your intuition, or your inner voice
Feeling disconnected from your body, desires, or emotions
Struggles around sexuality, identity, or self-expression
Fear of judgment, rejection, or punishment
Grief, anger, or confusion about lost community, meaning, or belonging
Many people feel torn between loyalty to their past beliefs and the pain those beliefs have caused. This inner conflict can be exhausting and isolating.
Healing the Nervous System
Because religious trauma often involves fear, shame, and power dynamics, it can deeply impact the nervous system. This means that healing is not just about understanding what happened, but also about helping your body learn that you are safe now.
We may use approaches such as EMDR, parts work, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation to support this healing process. These tools can help reduce emotional reactivity, soften shame responses, and create a greater sense of internal safety and choice.
You Are Not Broken
One of the most painful legacies of religious trauma is the belief that something is wrong with you. That you are flawed, sinful, too much, not enough, or inherently unworthy.
We want you to know this clearly. You are not broken. Your reactions make sense in the context of what you have lived through. Healing is not about fixing you. It is about helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that were silenced, shamed, or pushed aside.

For people experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and more, our therapists/counselors also provide therapy to help you acclimate and become more comfortable in situations that cause you distress.
As humans, we naturally wish not to suffer. We typically try to escape anxious feelings as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, we rarely succeed at truly getting rid of those awful feelings. Suppressing them, denying them or distracting ourselves with other activities might work for a moment, but these are temporary fixes at best. The anxiety inevitably returns, often with even greater intensity. We refer to this dynamic as the cycle of avoidance.
You cannot fix a problem by avoiding it; you must instead learn how to change your relationship to it. Symptoms from anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress can be lessened when properly addressed with the help of a therapist. Therapy helps break the cycle of avoidance by teaching you how to face the anxiety head-on.
During the course of therapy, you’ll learn skills to manage how you feel, including how to work with your nervous system. You will learn to recognize your triggers and identify your internal warning signs that the anxiety cycle has started. You will learn to disengage from negative thoughts and treat them as information, rather than absolute truths, so they have less influence over your behavior. You will also learn acceptance skills that allow you to feel the physical symptoms of anxiety as they occur in your body without trying to change them or run from them.
At Tribe Mind Body Wellness, we will help you to have:
- More constructive thinking patterns
- The ability to identify and engage in more appropriate behaviors for positive changes
- Increased tolerance for the physical discomfort that is often experienced with anxiety, low self-esteem, or psychological conditions
- Better and more satisfying relationships
