Meet Your Therapists

---

Hello! I am Keri Wanner, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and owner of Harmonia Wellness and Harmony Sleep Solutions. I have a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology from Loyola University Maryland. I am also an Airman in the United States Air Force having served in all components (active, guard, reserves) within Security Forces (military police), and I am currently holding the position of First Sergeant in the Reserves. 

My utmost priority in life is to assist others on their journey toward personal well-being. I firmly believe in enabling individuals to live harmoniously with themselves and their environment, fully embracing their potential. While I provide therapy services to adults from all walks of life, my specialization lies in supporting military personnel and first responders. Naturally drawn to this field due to my personal experiences, I recognized the unique challenges faced by these individuals. As an under-represented population, military personnel and first responders often encounter misunderstandings, particularly regarding their mental health needs. In light of recent global events, prioritizing the mental well-being of our first responders is of paramount importance. Unfortunately, these brave individuals are frequently subjected to attacks, humiliation, and social exclusion. I firmly believe that a therapeutic alliance forged through shared experiences, a "been there, done that" approach, is invaluable. I consider myself fortunate to offer compassion and understanding within this domain, as I am dedicated to serving a population that will forever hold a special place in my heart.

By providing a safe and nurturing space for healing, I am committed to guiding individuals toward a brighter future. Together, we can overcome the obstacles that impede personal growth and embark on a journey toward lasting harmony and fulfillment. I specialize in providing therapeutic support to adult individuals grappling with a range of challenging psychological conditions, including:

• Complex Trauma and Dissociation
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Insomnia
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Anger management difficulties
• Self-esteem concerns

To address these issues, I offer a comprehensive selection of evidence-based modalities and interventions, which include:

1. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): A therapeutic approach that utilizes bilateral stimulation to facilitate the processing and resolution of traumatic experiences.
2. Accelerated Resolution Therapy: A technique designed to expedite the treatment of trauma-related symptoms by integrating rapid eye movements and imagery rescripting.
3. Ego-States Therapy: A therapeutic model that focuses on identifying and working with various aspects of an individual's personality to enhance self-awareness and promote healing.
4. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I): A targeted therapeutic intervention that aims to address sleep difficulties by addressing the cognitive and behavioral factors contributing to insomnia.
5. Clinical Hypnosis: A technique involving a state of focused attention that enables individuals to explore and modify unconscious patterns and beliefs.
6. Psycho-education: An informative and educational approach that aims to enhance clients' understanding of their mental health conditions, providing them with practical tools and strategies for coping and self-care.

By utilizing these modalities, I strive to create a supportive and empowering therapeutic environment, tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual seeking assistance.
