My name is Circe Dunwoody. I am a license psychotherapist. In my psychotherapy practice I help couples and individuals to overcome life difficulties by using cognitive behavior therapy. Many couples and individuals feel overwhelmed by the desire to balance the high demands from work and family life. They report feelings of emptiness and loss of drive. Some report feeling of depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. Others contemplate divorce as a solution to decrease the pressure they are internalizing.
You can contact me for help if you are experiencing some of the feelings I have mentioned above, and you are ready to make changes in your life. l work with couples and individuals in a safe and confidential platform environment.
In life we all need support and understanding from others. Sometimes the best solution is to seek professional help. Having emotional support is extremely helpful. Relying on friends or family members is also helpful. However, you may not want to overwhelm them with problems. The most intelligent solution is seeking professional help.
Are you wondering if your drug or alcohol use is becoming a problem? Maybe you know that it is a problem, but feel powerless to stop. Perhaps your struggle looks different—binge eating, compulsive spending, sabotaging your success at work or in relationships. These self-destructive patterns can take many forms, but they often have one thing in common: they feel automatic, inescapable, and deeply frustrating.
These behaviors may seem like choices, but they often serve a hidden purpose—keeping you safe in the familiar, avoiding painful emotions, or preserving a status quo that no longer serves you. Over time, they can trap you in cycles of shame, regret, and hopelessness.
You Deserve Healing
You may have lived through experiences that changed everything—leaving you to question your safety, your worth, and even who you are. I want you to know this: you are not broken. What happened to you is not your fault. And you don’t have to carry it alone anymore.
I am a trauma-trained therapist specializing in deep, complex trauma healing. Many of my clients have lived through abuse, domestic violence, neglect, manipulation, or abandonment—people who grew up in homes where safety wasn’t guaranteed, where love came with conditions, or where siblings were pitted against each other. Others have experienced tragedy, sudden loss, or carry memories so painful they’ve struggled to name them.
I also support first responders, healthcare professionals, military personnel, and others whose roles have exposed them to trauma most people will never see. Additionally, I work with individuals impacted by generational and collective trauma, including historical violence and large-scale tragedies.
Because my practice focuses specifically on trauma recovery, I may not be the best fit for every concern. I do not provide treatment for adult autism, career counseling, personality disorders, anxiety-related disorders, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, life transitions, college related issues, or other needs outside the scope of trauma-focused care. I don’t use CBT in my practice. I do not provide services related to gender identity exploration or transition-related care, as these areas deserve specialized support from clinicians who focus on them. My goal is always to ensure you receive the care that truly meets your needs.
In our work together, I’ll walk beside you at your pace, offering compassion, safety, and care. You are not alone on this journey. Healing is possible, and I’ll be here with you—every step of the way.
