KAMALA THOMAS PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
Take the journey toward wellness
Welcome to my site!
I am passionate about helping clients to achieve emotional, spiritual, and physical wellness. I believe that wellness exists on a continuum, and achieving optimal health involves working with clients to develop treatment plans that integrate relevant cultural, social, physical, and psychological factors. As a clinical health psychologist, I often work with clients who have chronic illness and am comfortable collaborating with my clients' physicians, when it is appropriate.
​
My primary therapeutic orientation includes cognitive behavioral therapy. I am also trained in EMDR for treating traumatic stress and am a certified life coach. Let me help you overcome the emotional barriers that are holding you back so that you can reach your full potential.
