Krissella L. Glennon-Boatright,, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Krissella!

My practice currently has limited openings specifically for adults seeking focused EMDR treatment. If there is something from your past that you already know is still affecting you and you're ready to work through it, this may be a good fit. I also have experience working with neurodivergent adults.

My focus

My current openings are intended for adults who already have a sense of what they want to work through—an event, relationship, loss, traumatic experience, or period of life that still affects them today. You don't need to have everything figured out, but focused EMDR works best when we have a clear place to begin.

My approach

I tend to be pretty active in therapy, and EMDR fits that style well. Rather than talking about the same experience week after week, we'll identify what still feels stuck, prepare for EMDR, and work directly with those memories and triggers. The goal is focused treatment with a purpose—not therapy that stays open-ended by default.

My communication style

I'm conversational, direct, curious, and pretty down-to-earth. I won't just sit quietly and ask, “How does that make you feel?” for an hour. I'll ask questions, point out patterns, offer observations, and sometimes use humor when it fits. I want therapy to feel human while still having a clear reason and goal for what we're doing.

My journey to mental healthcare

My personal experiences with neurodivergence, emotional growth, and identity exploration deeply shaped my path into this work. I’m passionate about helping clients feel more understood, connected to themselves, and empowered to create meaningful change.

My goals for you

We'll start with what you want to feel different when treatment is over, then work backward to identify the memories, beliefs, or triggers that seem to be keeping you stuck. We'll keep checking in on what's changing along the way so we know whether the work is actually helping and when we've accomplished what you came for.

Our first session

The first session is partly about making sure this is actually the right treatment for you. We'll talk about what you're hoping to work through, relevant history, possible EMDR targets, and whether focused EMDR makes sense for your needs. If it does, we'll map out where we're starting and what treatment will look like.
