Somatic Therapists in Tucker, GA
My approach is trauma-informed and incorporates attachment-based, systemic, and person-centered frameworks, as well as somatic and narrative techniques.
Some stories can be difficult to share, often causing feelings of anxiety, stress, depression, confusion, and anger. These emotions can lead us to engage in behaviors that may not be helpful or even harmful as we try to cope. I am passionate about hearing people's stories and guiding them through the challenging but rewarding process of finding their way forward. No matter where you are in your journey, you are welcome and will be affirmed here just the way you are.

I use strengths-based, Internal Family Systems, Psychoanalytic and somatic frameworks, among others.
Hi! I'm Laura Joplin, LMSW, and my foundational therapeutic philosophy is that we don’t need to be fixed, but seen. I believe that the integration of somatic tools like yoga and meditation with classical talk therapy gives us room to understand this key truth. Sessions with me are a place to land amidst the swirl of life, develop skills for self-regulation and empowerment, form goals and intentions, and receive kind accountability around it all. I show up to session relaxed (comfy pants and flowy clothes!), warm and personable, humorous and acutely aware of the challenging environmental and structural circumstances we all face.

I work from an integrative, holistic approach, emphasizing mindfulness, creative expression, and somatic connection.
One of the greatest offerings of therapy is the opportunity for change. I work both with clients who are wanting change and those who have been thrust into change without asking for it. Clients facing complex trauma & PTSD, grief, life transitions, and other big hurdles can find balance and restoration in their work with me. I help clients to reconstruct their relationships with trauma, loss, anxiety, and with the other people in their lives.

I enjoy working with folks who are expanding their definition of who they are as a person. Personal growth work is meaningful work. I believe the majority of clients I have worked with throughout the years have a very limited opinion of themselves. I want to assist people to move forward in their lives and enjoy the journey! My studies at the Chopra Center with Dr. Chopra, Dr. David Simon and Davidji have expanded my own awareness on how wonderful this life experience can be. Yes, we have bumps in the road but the obstacles do not have to define us. I have studied with Dr. Brian Weiss and I am trained in IMAGO therapy, hypnosis.

Every counselor, if they are honest, is seeking a client who is intelligent, funny, motivated, and has strong interpersonal skills. I am happy to work with those people, but I specialize in the more difficult cases. I like working with people who have had bad counseling experiences in the past. Those who know that they need change, but are unsure how to go about making those changes. Counseling is a collaborative relationship. My goal is not to fix your life, but to come along side you and help you move forward one step at a time.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
