About Me
Meet Your Purcellville Trauma & PTSD Therapist Kellie Tucker Boyle
Hi, I’m Kellie, a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps adults & children heal from the lasting effects of trauma and PTSD so they can feel safer, more grounded, and more like themselves again.
I’ve spent multiple years supporting people who feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. You’ve learned how to keep going and appear “fine” on the outside, while internally you’re exhausted, guarded, or struggling to feel truly safe. You may even find yourself wondering why you’re still affected by something that happened a long time ago.
I’m passionate about this work because trauma can change the way you show up for yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. When your mind and body have learned to stay on alert, it can be difficult to relax, trust, connect, or simply feel present in your own life. I believe healing isn’t about forgetting what happened or forcing yourself to “move on.” It’s about understanding what you’ve been through, learning to respond to yourself with compassion, and developing the tools to feel more in control of your life. No more survival mode- it’s exhausting. I’m here to help you create a greater sense of safety and feel more connected in life.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is trauma informed therapy?
Trauma-informed therapy recognizes that past experiences can shape how we think, feel, and respond in the present. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we create a collaborative space with a mind-body approach, that supports healing throughout the whole body; not just through talking or thought processing.
2. How do I know if I’m experiencing trauma symptoms?
Trauma can affect everyone differently. You may notice feeling on edge, easily overwhelmed, emotionally numb, having intrusive thoughts or memories, avoiding certain people or situations, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Sometimes, the effects of trauma show up in the body through sleep difficulties, tension, or a heightened startle response. If these experiences are affecting your daily life or relationships, trauma-informed therapy can help you better understand what’s happening and help you find a healthy path forward.
3. Is trauma therapy only for big events?
Not at all. Trauma isn’t defined only by what happened, but also by how an experience affected you. Trauma therapy can help with the impact of major events as well as ongoing stress, difficult relationships, loss, neglect, or experiences that may have seemed “not that bad” but continue to affect you (even if you don’t realize it). If something still feels unresolved or shows up in how you think, feel, or respond today, it may be worth exploring.
4. What is the cost of your sessions? Do you take insurance?
My intake fee is $255/hour. My 55 minute sessions are $215 and 45 minute sessions are $190.
No, I do not submit insurance directly and am considered an out of network provider. I provide a monthly superbill to clients by request. Most of my clients get close to full or partial reimbursement from their insurance providers. You can use my free benefits checker on the fees page to see an estimate of what you will get back from your insurance company.
