I'm Thor Fjell, a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and the lasting effects that difficult experiences leave on our nervous systems, our relationships, and our sense of self.
Trauma changes how we experience ourselves and the world — and that change can feel permanent. It isn't. With the right support and evidence-based approaches, real healing is possible, not just coping.
I draw on evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Applied Polyvagal Therapy, Attachment-based Therapy, IFS, ACT, and DBT, tailoring each treatment plan to fit your specific history and goals. All sessions are delivered via secure video telehealth — wherever you are.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is one of the most extensively researched trauma treatments. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess stuck traumatic memories so they lose their emotional charge and can be integrated without continuing to drive symptoms or avoidance.
Trauma lives in the nervous system. Polyvagal Theory explains how our autonomic state shapes every aspect of our experience. Applied Polyvagal Therapy builds your capacity to regulate your nervous system, so healing becomes possible from the inside out.
Trauma often disrupts the capacity to feel safe in relationships. Attachment-based therapy addresses the relational wounds that trauma creates — difficulty trusting, fear of vulnerability, push-pull patterns — so you can build genuine connection with others and with yourself.
IFS understands trauma responses as protective parts doing their best to keep you safe. By approaching those parts with curiosity rather than shame, and reconnecting with the calm, wise Self at your core, IFS creates lasting healing from within.
ACT is particularly effective for trauma survivors who have been fighting their own thoughts and feelings for years. It builds psychological flexibility — the ability to be present with difficult inner experiences without being controlled by them.
DBT provides concrete, practical skills for managing the intense emotional swings and interpersonal difficulties that often accompany trauma and PTSD. Core modules include distress tolerance, emotional regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness.
