About Crescent Moon Counseling

Crescent Moon Counseling was born from the idea that people, much like the moon, are in a constant stage of change. Most simply put, the crescent stages of the moon occur directly prior to and directly after the new moon. People are also constantly changing and provided with opportunities to reinvent themselves and grow into better, or “new”, versions of themselves. While our life experiences help to shape the people that we become, we do not have to be defined solely by these experiences.  Crescent Moon Counseling hopes to provide services that assist individuals in progressing through their individual stages of change and working towards their personal goals.

Hi and Welcome! I’m Kelly Herwig, a Licensed Independent Social Worker – Clinical Practice (LISW-CP), an Alcohol & Drug Counselor (ADC), and EMDRIA Certified EMDR therapist. I describe myself as a nervous system informed therapist, focusing on integrating the three avenues of healing which are cognitive (thinking), emotional (feelings), and somatic (body awareness and sensation). I provide therapy using a trauma-informed approach and believe that the most important aspect of treatment is the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist. Often times, trauma is relational which means the healing has to be relational as well. I work to earn the trust of clients and provide a safe place to help clients get closer to their pain in order to transform it.
