About Kerriann Now

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve experienced trauma or ongoing stress. I’m passionate about helping adults and couples heal from trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and addiction. My approach is compassionate and direct—I focus on getting to the root of the issue so real change can happen. In couples work, I help partners rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and reconnect. Healing is possible, and I’d be honored to walk with you on your journey.

I help adults and couples heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and addiction by getting to the root of what’s causing pain. As an EMDR Certified therapist and Level 3 IFS practitioner, I use proven approaches that help you find relief and lasting change. I also help couples rebuild trust, improve communication, and reconnect.

Everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. You’ve already taken an important step by looking for help. Let’s work together to help you feel lighter, stronger, and more in control of your life.

I have over 15 years of experience I have helped individuals and couples heal from their Trauma in a supportive way. I am certified in EMDR and have taken all 3 Levels of IFS trainings at the IFS Institute. I use a nonjudgmental approach and believe that everyone has the capacity to heal.

I’m EMDR Certified and a Consultant in Training, and I’m Level 3 trained in IFS—the only Level 3 IFS-trained therapist in Southwest Florida. I use these evidence-based models to help clients and couples build safety, stability, and lasting healing from trauma and emotional pain.

I offer flexible appointment times to accommodate your schedule, including weekday evenings.

More About Kerriann Now

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Certified Addiction Professional, IFS Level 3 therapist, and EMDR Certified Clinician & Consultant-in-Training (CIT).

Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with individuals facing complex trauma, dissociative disorders, addictions, and high-conflict relationships. Many of my clients have tried therapy before and still felt misunderstood, pathologized, or rushed. I work differently — with curiosity, collaboration, and deep respect for your pace and your nervous system.

Therapeutic Style:

Clients often describe me as:

  • Calm and grounding
  • Direct but compassionate
  • Non-judgmental and trauma-informed

In session, you can expect:

  • A space where your experience is believed and validated
  • Gentle exploration of your story and your “parts” at a pace that feels safe
  • Practical tools for managing anxiety, anger, and overwhelming emotions
  • Deep work aimed at healing the root causes — not just managing symptoms

Who I Work With:

  • Adults experiencing trauma and complex trauma
  • People with dissociative symptoms or dissociative disorders
  • Individuals struggling with substance use, alcohol use, drug abuse, or gambling
  • Those navigating relationship issues, domestic abuse, or domestic violence
  • Women dealing with grief, infertility, self-worth, and life transitions

I can help you understand what’s happening, develop healthier ways to cope, and start to feel more like yourself.

I so appreciate the authenticity that Kerriann brings to her work. I'm a colleague who has not been her client, but I have experienced her in therapeutic roles during IFS trainings. If you are a client who is looking for a skilled, intuitive, and straight forward tell-it-like-it-is partner in your healing journey, I hope you will reach out to Kerriann. Extra strong recommendation if you have worked with other therapists but find that you are still struggling with burdens related to trauma or addiction.

Kerriann brings a rare blend of warmth, curiosity, and grounded directness to her work. She is deeply devoted to providing trauma-informed care and has a clear passion for both IFS and EMDR. What stood out to me most was her commitment to creating a space that feels both safe and honest—where real work can happen. She is always learning, always growing, and always in service of her clients. I trust the care and intention she brings into the room.

Kerri is the most professional, kind, and direct, no-nonsense therapist I’ve ever worked with. EMDR sessions with her give you those “glimpse of clarity” moments that turn into real, evidence based progress you can feel. She gets straight to the root of things instead of talking in circles. Couples counseling with her has helped us communicate better and break old patterns. If you want real results with someone who doesn’t waste your time, she’s the one.
Judith Huntley

Kerri has been my go-to recommendation for truly effective therapy for years now. She’s insightful, to-the-point, and incredibly skilled. No human escapes trauma, we all have our own. This writes on how we see, speak and treat ourselves and other people, especially family. Kerri rearranges the way our brains view what’s happened to them and messaging about ourselves to help clear patterns that no longer serve us. If you need a well-educated and wise expert to guide you to new ways of being, here’s your girl. Individual, family or marriage therapy, I cannot recommend her enough. You will achieve results and actually get to the root of the whys. Worth the drive from anywhere.

I've been working with Kerianne for a little over a year now. The work we've done together has been transformative. I've accomplished more in one year with Kerianne and her IFS/EDMR practice than I have a decade in other therapy.
