About
As a daughter, sister, wife, and mom, I value the importance of feeling truly heard and supported through life’s challenges, relationships, and transitions, and I strive to create that same sense of connection and understanding for my clients.
I’m Kendyl Geeze, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with experience working with adults, adolescents, and couples. I earned my Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma, stress, and major life transitions. I also welcome clients who want to explore how faith or spirituality intersects with their experiences. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen relationships, navigate difficult seasons, and create meaningful change.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized. I draw from cognitive behavioral, strength-based, person-centered, and other evidence-based approaches to meet you where you are. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build practical coping skills, recognize your strengths, and work toward goals that feel meaningful and achievable.
I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as you are and feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating change, healing from the past, or simply wanting things to feel different, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’d be honored to support you when you’re ready.

As one who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have an authentic understanding of how we are impacted by painful life circumstances and how building of new life skills can empower us once again.

Hi, I’m Emma, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), and I often think of myself as a communication specialist. How do we get people to understand us? What are we actually trying to say? Why do the same things keep happening in our relationships—and how can we change them? I work with clients ages 13 and up, including adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, relationships, life transitions, and feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Therapy can be a space to lay it all out, make sense of what’s happening, and build a plan for the person and life you want.
My background in Boston-area schools and working closely with families has shaped my trauma-informed, strengths-based, and systems-aware approach. I draw from CBT, DBT skills, and motivational interviewing, and I enjoy helping clients build practical skills for emotional regulation, communication, ADHD and executive functioning, and everyday life.
Humor, curiosity, and joy have a place in therapy, too. My goal is to create a space where you can be fully yourself while building the self-awareness and confidence to move forward.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Trauma therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on treating the psychological impact of traumatic events on individuals. Trauma therapy helps people process and heal from their trauma by guiding them through their trauma in a compassionate and supportive way, allowing clients to feel the full scope of what happened to them and eventually move on from the event(s). This process helps people who have experienced trauma find ways to feel safe in their lives.
Trauma therapy will often require individuals to walk through their experiences in a controlled and compassionate setting (unless the client has a dissociative disorder) so that they can fully process the event, an activity that will allow them to move on from what happened and feel safe again. Thriveworks Franklin therapists will also help clients learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with their symptoms outside of therapy.
Thriveworks trauma counseling in Franklin, MA is conducted both in person and online through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If an individual is working through a single event that occurred during adulthood, they may only need a few months of treatment. However, in instances of childhood trauma or repeated traumatic events, therapy may continue over the course of years. Trauma therapy usually ends when the client believes they have met their therapeutic goals, however long that takes to occur. Thriveworks therapists in Franklin, MA will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.
A traumatic event is something no one deserves to go through. It can stay with a person for months and years after, impacting their mental, emotional, and physical health. But these impacts are not permanent. As much as trauma can hurt, it does not control your life. You are not at fault for what happened to you, but you can control how you heal.
Thriveworks Franklin wants you to know that you are not alone, and together we can come out of this stronger than before. We don’t have to stop living or healing. Thriveworks Franklin offers online therapy and in-person therapy you can connect with a licensed, professional counselor in the format of your choosing.
If you would like to schedule an online therapy session or have questions about how online counseling for trauma therapy works, call Thriveworks Franklin at (617) 360-7210.
Our counselors will meet you where you’re at. This means wherever you are coming from or whatever your goals are for your mental health, we will work with you to build the life you want to live. The decision to schedule a telehealth therapy appointment can be hard, and we acknowledge the incredible strength you have to even considering doing so. It is that strength that will help you heal from your trauma.
Trauma affects the brain by destroying healthy synapses and creating unhealthy ones. Synapses are the highways information travels down in your brain. The good news is your brain is incredibly flexible. Trauma molded it but therapy can mold it back to a healthy state. Thriveworks Franklin has years of training and experience in trauma counseling to help you overcome your past. Changing the session to a virtual, online therapy session will not change the effectiveness of the process.
The trauma that you endured is in no way your fault. No one deserves to go through a trauma or live with the symptoms after it. Your resilience, strength, and courage inspires us every day. You deserve to take the time to heal and create a safe, healthy future. Thriveworks Amherst will be with you every step of the way.
Signs PTSD and trauma have taken their toll include:
