Meet Dr. Jamie Camphouse
Hello! So glad you're here.
I specialize in understanding and treating traumatic experiences, whether one-time acute trauma or ongoing developmental childhood trauma. I work with you to untangle the web of confusing memories, triggering emotional responses, and relational difficulties that come from these adverse experiences as well as the symptoms associated with them, including dissociation/multiplicity, identity confusion, anxiety, depression, and poor self-esteem. I have expertise in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a psychotherapy technique developed to help people process and recover from traumatic experiences or distressing life events. It’s especially well-known for treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), but it’s also used for anxiety, depression, phobias, and other emotional difficulties.
I am an inclusive and affirming therapist, specializing in the intersection between LGBTQIA+ care and religious harm. I am formally trained in spirituality and integrating psychotherapy with different faith orientations; an area of specialty being spiritual abuse. I am able to journey with you to learn new ways of being after leaving a faith tradition you may have once held closely (this also includes experiencing harm from high-control groups).
Additionally, I specialize in supporting people through their perinatal and postpartum journeys. From reproductive trauma, to infertility, to parenthood, I understand the immense challenges these experiences bring — the grief, uncertainty, and resilience required at every step — and I’m here to support individuals in navigating them with compassion and care.
My style of therapy is relational and attachment oriented, focusing directly on early attachment ruptures and the deeper impact they might have on your current life situations and relationships. I recognize these attachment dynamics also play out in the therapeutic relationship and, together, we will use such moments to deepen your understanding of self in relation to others.
Knowing that traumatic experiences impact both our minds and our bodies, I specialize in somatic and brain-based approaches to therapy to offer integrative trauma healing. These approaches include training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Havening, and Polyvagal Theory.
I know that every person is unique and will assess what form of treatment will be most helpful during our first few sessions. I am passionate about truly attuning to who you are to better understand your lived experience in order to offer the best care possible. My hope is that you will feel both emotionally held and psychologically safe within our work so you can move toward wholeness and, ultimately, freedom.
