Meet Chloe Kinman, LCSW - Trauma therapist in Wenatchee, WA
Virtual therapy throughout Washington and California
As a trauma therapist, I know what it’s like to be highly self-aware and still feel stuck in the same patterns. I spent a long time understanding my anxiety intellectually while still walking through the world feeling like I had done something wrong, that someone was upset with me, or that I needed to work harder to earn rest, approval, or safety.
I also know what it feels like to live in a body that is asking for care, slowness, and attention while another part of you wants to keep pushing forward no matter the cost. Navigating autoimmune illness forced me to confront the ways I had learned to override my own needs and disconnect from my body in order to keep functioning. That experience deeply shaped the way I approach therapy —with compassion, attunement, and the belief that insight alone is not enough if your nervous system still feels unsafe.
No one is mad at you.
You’re not in trouble.
There’s nothing wrong with you.
My Approach as a Trauma Therapist…
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you create changes that you can actually feel in your daily life — not just understand intellectually.
Many of the people I work with are already very self-aware. They’ve spent a lot of time thinking about their patterns, understanding where their anxiety comes from, or trying to “work on themselves,” but still feel stuck in the same cycles. They may constantly overthink, struggle to relax, feel responsible for everyone else, or push themselves far past their limits while ignoring their own needs.
In our work together, we slow things down and pay attention to what’s happening beneath the surface — your emotions, stress responses, thought patterns, and the ways your body reacts when you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally unsafe. Instead of only talking about your experiences, we work toward helping your mind and body feel safer, more grounded, and less stuck in survival mode.
I integrate approaches such as EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), emotion-focused work, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation, but therapy is always tailored to you as an individual. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or hold it all together alone. Together, we work toward helping you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your boundaries and decisions, and more able to move through life with greater calm, self-trust, and emotional ease.
