Kawena Seagle, MS, LPC, SEP, NCC

My name is Kawena, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in Tempe, Arizona, and I am passionate about helping my clients find relief for their suffering.

The relationship between therapist and client is one of my top priorities and I want to help you feel as comfortable as possible from our first interaction. My approach is non-judgmental, compassionate, and supportive. I work from a somatic perspective and I focus on nervous system regulation, which will help you live with more ease. My goal is to help you find relief from your past traumas and emotional pain, to help you find your way back to yourself, and experience more freedom in your life. I would be so honored to help you on your journey.

My niche as a complex trauma therapist is a result of the clients I have worked with over the years. I have had the honor of partnering with clients with diverse backgrounds and what I noticed is that most of them hold trauma at the root of what they were seeking treatment for. It became my passion to bring healing to deep pain and to help find their way back to themselves.

I am licensed by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health and received my Master's degree from Capella University in 2015. I have a certificate in Somatic Experiencing and pursued advanced training in somatic touch to further help my clients increase their capacity for daily life, have healthier relationships, and ultimately, heal from their trauma. I am also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) which focuses on bringing harmony to the mind and body by bringing healing to the parts of us that are suffering. I am most recently trained in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy to bring an experiential healing modality to my clients. I make it a priority to continually learn trauma healing modalities in order to provide the best possible care to my clients; in the section below there is a complete outline of the trainings I have taken.

I have worked in a variety of settings and have been fortunate to work with clients from all walks of life. I began my career at an addiction recovery center, have worked at a non-profit with those suffering from severe mental illness, and before opening my practice I worked as the trauma therapist for the Claudia Black Center at The Meadows, a world-renowned treatment center for trauma and addiction.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, pets, and friends. I love traveling, going on new adventures, spending time in nature, reading, and connecting with horses. I am originally from Portland, Oregon but have been calling Arizona my home since 2009. I find it important to apply the different skills and tools that I use in therapy, to my own life; regulating my own nervous system and being embodied.
