EMDR Therapy in Morristown NJ
If you're carrying the weight of past trauma, you might feel exhausted, stuck, or like you're constantly on edge, unable to relax into the present. Maybe traditional talk therapy hasn’t gone deep enough, or you're tired of coping strategies that don’t truly bring relief. I see you. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it on your own.
​
I’m Kelly Patel, LCSW, and I specialize in trauma therapy, specifically EMDR, for clients located in and around Morristown, NJ. Through a compassionate, personalized approach, I help you reconnect with yourself, heal emotional wounds, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
About Me: A Trauma Therapist Who Truly Listens
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering virtual therapy to clients in New Jersey and Florida. My practice, Feelings Forward Wellness, is grounded in the belief that healing begins with a safe, affirming space where you feel heard and supported.
​
I combine evidence-based approaches like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), sometimes called parts work, to gently guide you through the emotional layers of your experiences. These methods allow us to go beyond surface-level insight and work directly with the root of your pain—whether it's from childhood trauma, relational wounds, or chronic stress.
​
I believe therapy should feel like a collaboration. I’ll meet you where you are, respect your pace, and always center your needs.
Common Challenges My Clients Face
Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating in their lives. You might be:
-
Struggling with the lasting effects of trauma, feeling stuck in memories or physical sensations that won’t go away
-
Navigating attachment wounds makes it hard to form or maintain healthy relationships
-
Frustrated by therapy that only scratches the surface, without reaching the core of your distress
-
Longing for clarity and peace, but unsure how to get there
If any of this sounds familiar, know that you’re not alone, and that therapy can be a powerful step forward.
What to Expect from Our Work Together
Our sessions are a space where you can show up fully, without judgment. I use EMDR therapy along with parts work/IFS to help you process traumatic memories and better understand the internal parts of yourself that may be holding onto fear, shame, or pain.
Here’s what you can expect:
-
A gentle and structured approach that helps you feel safe as we explore difficult emotions
-
A collaborative process, you’re in the driver’s seat, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you
-
A trauma-informed lens, meaning I always prioritize your emotional safety and well-being
-
Sessions that go beyond talk therapy, offering real tools and deeper emotional shifts
Everything is done online for your convenience and comfort. I work with clients virtually across New Jersey, including those in Morristown, and in Florida.
How EMDR Therapy Can Help You Heal

-
Feeling more grounded and present
-
Improved relationships and self-trust
-
Reduced anxiety, emotional triggers, and stress
-
A stronger sense of identity and inner peace
Whether you're seeking trauma therapy in Morristown, NJ, or are simply ready to feel more like yourself again, EMDR could be the path that finally helps you move forward.
