Abby Hartman: Licensed Professional Counselor

Abby Hartman is a Dallas-based trauma therapist specializing in EMDR therapy, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), childhood and attachment trauma, anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and therapy for highly sensitive individuals (HSPs). She works with adults who may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in survival mode, or ready to move beyond simply understanding their patterns and begin doing deeper healing work.

Abby’s approach is warm, relational, and trauma-informed. She believes meaningful healing happens not only through insight, but through safe connection and experiences that allow the mind and nervous system to process what may have once felt too overwhelming to face alone. At the heart of her work is the therapeutic relationship, creating a space where clients can slow down, explore their inner world, and reconnect with themselves in a more meaningful way.

Having integrated EMDR into her practice since 2020, Abby expanded her work into psychedelic-assisted therapy through specialized training in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in 2024 under the guidance of Micah Stover. Her work integrates EMDR, attachment and inner child work, nervous system-focused interventions, and KAP to help clients access deeper emotional processing and their own innate capacity for healing.

Abby’s approach to KAP weaves together neuroscience and spirituality, honoring both evidence-based therapeutic frameworks and the human need for meaning, ritual, and connection. She believes that ethically holding space for psychedelic work also requires personal understanding and lived experience, and her own experiences with KAP inform the grounded, intentional, and deeply respectful way she approaches this work. Each KAP experience is thoughtfully tailored to the individual, creating space for insight, connection, and meaningful change.

In addition to traditional therapy, Abby offers EMDR intensives and KAP intensives for clients seeking more immersive, individualized healing experiences beyond the traditional weekly therapy model.

As a highly sensitive person herself, Abby also understands what it can feel like to move through the world absorbing emotion, overstimulation, and the expectations of others. She believes sensitivity is not something to fix, but something to better understand and learn to navigate. She especially enjoys working with clients who feel deeply, think deeply, and want to feel more grounded and connected to who they are.

Ultimately, Abby’s goal is not to change who you are, but to help you understand what has shaped you, heal what continues to hold you back, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been lost along the way.
