A Little About Me

I'm Lesley Rickman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Jackson, Tennessee, specializing in trauma-informed psychotherapy for older teens and adults.

My clinical work focuses on complex trauma, PTSD, dissociation, and the ways difficult experiences can affect our relationships, emotions, and nervous systems. I have advanced training in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), LENS Neurofeedback, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, which I incorporate into my work based on each client's needs and goals.

As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, I also provide professional consultation for therapists seeking EMDR certification or looking to strengthen their skills in EMDR and IFS.

I'm committed to creating an affirming, neuroinclusive environment where people of all identities, backgrounds, and neurotypes feel welcome, including members of the LGBTQ community. My goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care that respects each person's experiences, needs, and goals.
