Targeted trauma therapy for people who carry more than they were built to hold. First responders. Military. Healthcare workers. Trauma Survivors. Anyone who's been told to just move on but can't. Telehealth across Kentucky. Clinical consulting nationwide.
Three specialized clinicians. One mission. Getting you unstuck without wasting your time.
The calls that stay with you. The hypervigilance that won't shut off at home. The numbness that replaced the person your family remembers. Our founder spent 15 years behind the badge. He gets it.
The transition nobody prepared you for. The operating system that kept you alive overseas but is wrecking things at home. There's a way to keep the edge without the damage.
You've watched someone you love disappear behind the job, the anger, or the numbness. You need someone who understands your side of it. We do.
You spent years taking care of everyone else and nobody took care of you. The compassion fatigue, the moral injury, the weight of what you've seen. We treat what that leaves behind.
Not every wound comes from a career. Abuse, violence, loss, betrayal. If you've been carrying something that won't let go no matter how hard you try to move on, this is what we specialize in.
What happened to you as a child didn't stay in childhood. It became the operating system running your relationships, your reactions, and your sense of who you are. We specialize in finding where it installed and challenging what it left behind.
No worksheets. No coping skill handouts. No nodding along while you talk in circles. We find what's driving the problem and we go after it.
We figure out whether you're dealing with unresolved trauma your body is still holding, belief patterns running your decisions, or both. That determines the plan โ not a one-size approach.
If your nervous system is stuck from something years ago, coping skills won't touch it. We use EMDR to resolve what's stuck and REBT to challenge the beliefs running underneath. Sequenced. Targeted. Evidence-based.
The goal isn't for you to be in therapy forever. It's for you to walk out with a clear head, a regulated system, and the tools to stay that way. Resolution, not dependence.
Thin Line Counseling was founded by Dr. Trevor Wilkins, a clinician with 15 years in law enforcement and prior service as an EMT, because the people who carry the hardest weight deserve better than generic therapy. Not worksheets. Not six months of venting. Targeted clinical work from a team that specializes in trauma and refuses to waste your time.
Our team uses EMDR to resolve trauma the body is still holding and REBT to challenge the belief systems running underneath. Whether your trauma came from a career in public safety, from childhood, from a relationship, or from something nobody else would understand, the clinical approach is the same: find what's driving it, go after it, and get you to the other side.
Dr. Wilkins also leads mental health initiatives for The Wounded Blue, supporting injured and disabled law enforcement officers across the country. That same commitment to real, evidence-based care for people who've given too much of themselves extends to every client who walks through our door.
Whether you wore the badge, survived something nobody should have to carry, or just know that something is off and you're done waiting for it to fix itself, this is where you'll find a team that gets it.

If you're outside Kentucky, you can still work with Dr. Wilkins directly.
This is private one-on-one consulting via secure video โ focused on performance, stress, operational readiness, and the patterns running underneath your decisions and relationships. It's not psychotherapy. There's no diagnosis, no treatment plan, no insurance billing, no clinical record. What I bring to it is twenty years in uniform and doctorate-level clinical training, applied to the specific challenges high-stress professionals carry Available in all 50 states.

Two sessions per day. Monday through Friday. Two weeks. The most aggressive evidence-based trauma resolution protocol available โ delivered via secure telehealth by one of the last clinicians personally trained by the man who built it.
Standard EMDR therapy spreads sessions across months. Between appointments, the nervous system has time to resettle into old patterns. The intensive model eliminates that gap โ consecutive sessions build on each other before the window closes.
This isn't a compressed schedule for convenience. It's a clinically distinct approach that produces equivalent outcomes to 18-20 weeks of weekly therapy โ peer-reviewed and published.
Colonel E.C. Hurley (Ret.) was the foremost expert in EMDR with military and public safety populations. 33 years of Army service. Founder of the Soldier Center. Selected and trained by Dr. Francine Shapiro herself. Recipient of EMDRIA's Francine Shapiro Award โ the highest honor in the field.
His 2018 paper in Frontiers in Psychology demonstrated that intensive daily EMDR โ two sessions per day over 10 days โ produced statistically significant PTSD resolution with results holding at one-year follow-up. That research is the foundation of this program.
The EMDR Intensive is designed for individuals with PTSD, complex trauma, and treatment-resistant presentations who are ready to commit two full weeks to resolution. A screening call with Dr. Wilkins is required to determine fit.
Dr. Wilkins was personally trained by Dr. Hurley before his passing in 2021. Both Dr. Hurley and his widow personally endorsed Dr. Wilkins to carry forward his clinical legacy โ the methodology, the protocol, and the mission of serving the men and women who protect this country. This program is delivered the way Hurley designed it, by the clinician he chose to carry it.
Personal endorsement documentation available upon request.

Not everyone is ready to sit down with a therapist โ and that's fine. The Command Collective is a private community of first responders, military, and high-stress professionals working on the same things you are.
Twice weekly live sessions with Dr. Wilkins. Daily strikes of how to get on top of this mess. Access to my full classroom of the Nuero-Rational-Command Framework (how I fixed myself and others). A room full of people who understand the job or trauma and what it costs. No diagnosis. No clinical records. Just a place to start.
No intake forms before we talk. No phone tree. Call and speak to a real person, or book directly with the clinician you want.
Call directly or use the scheduling links on each clinician's profile. First sessions usually scheduled within a week.
