Welcome:). I offer an embodied experience of psychotherapy to help people expand their awareness and sense of connection. My work draws mainly from my expertise of The Hakomi Method of Mindful, Somatic Psychotherapy. In my sessions, I guide you to slow down and pay attention to deeper layers of yourself. With mindfulness, we uncover emotions, sensations and core beliefs that shape how you experience yourself and the world. Change happens as we work together to sort out old patterns and create new understandings to bring forward an updated life perspective from the most authentic, integrated version of who you are.

Now accepting new clients- telehealth only. Have you been experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, shame, and/or being fully functional and present in your life and relationships? Have you had traumatic experiences and/or are you unsure how or what to change to live the life you want? Do you struggle with communicating effectively to achieve your goals? Low self-esteem? I have worked with people who experience all of these issues and more and would love to talk with you about your goals for therapy.

I work systemically and holistically, which means that together we will explore biological, social, spiritual and cultural influences that have shaped you. The challenges you face are deeply embedded in the context of your experiences, but within your experiences also lie your unique set of strengths that offer opportunities for change. My approach is curious and creative and I will help challenge existing ways of viewing yourself so that you can let go of what is no longer working. I work with individuals, couples and families and make use of Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Somatic Psychology and Mindfulness based practices.

I combine somatic awareness, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and a creative approach to trauma healing which allows for deep embodied change. I am passionate about offering integrative techniques that will illuminate the deeper underpinnings of the issues that you struggle with. I bring a soft, yet powerful, presence to my work, focusing on the relational container of therapy and offering attunement from my system to yours. Together, side by side, we will uncover ways to move toward your goals while maintaining a specific focus on returning to the Self. Without meeting you, I already believe in you and the changes you want to make!

I am 100% telehealth. I love working with people ready to step into the next phase of their lives. It can be challenging to find your way through it all and maintain contact with your values and honoring all your parts. I enjoy working with neurodivergents, eccentrics, perfectionists, the highly sensitive, and creatives. I aim to help folks create lives full of supports, joyful purpose, deep relationships, and the confidence to get you through whatever you are facing.

Seeking counseling is a responsible way to take care of what matters most. As Toni Morrison told us, "It's good when you've got a woman who is a friend of your mind." I welcome diverse clients navigating many situations and specialize in recovery and post-traumatic growth from narcissistic abuse, misuse, and relational or social trauma. I also focus on loss, grief, anxiety, depression, adjustments to changes, life stages, and the promises and pitfalls of pursuing an authentic creative life.

My name is Alyson Brown, LPC-Associate. It takes courage to take this step and look for a counselor, so thanks for being brave! You may be ready to begin your journey of transformation or take your healing in a new direction. I work with couples and adults to treat anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and more. I work with LGBTQ+, BIPOC and other underserved populations in our area. I can bill OHP in the Southern Oregon & Rogue Valley area.

Are you seeking deeper self-awareness, emotional healing, and a life infused with authenticity and vitality? As a somatic therapist, I guide clients on a transformative growth journey through somatic (body-centered) practices. Our bodies hold innate wisdom for emotional liberation and heightened consciousness. Through mindfulness, and embodied exploration, we'll attune to your body's narratives, unveiling core beliefs that shape your experiences.

Not a fan of traditional talk therapy? I offer virtual and Walk & Talk Therapy aimed at getting you out of your head and into your body. Have you ever felt, "No matter how much I try, I keep repeating old patterns?" There's a big difference between cognitively "Knowing" and subconsciously "Doing." Adversity is a part of the human experience. I work from the understanding that the body remembers and is trying to protect. This leads to automatic and protective stress responses. Deeper healing involves processing and releasing stressors within the whole self, learning to trust oneself, and calming the nervous system.

A wonderful image of where good therapy can lead is of a knitter transforming a pile of chaotic threads and snarled knots into something beautiful, intentional, and nurturing. The internal elements that create your experience of life can truly learn new stories to live in and be safely released from stories of fear, shame, and contraction. As your therapist, I will help you hold your commitment and courage by guiding your relationship with yourself at a pace that is sustainable yet brave, using tools that will help you lovingly meet and free your lifeforce from old survival strategies and step into a much more creative existence.

Welcome to Eclogite Counseling. I work with adults impacted by depression, anxiety, insomnia, grief/loss, and life span transitions. Perhaps you are experiencing low mood, hopelessness, or a lack of interest in things you used to enjoy. Perhaps worries have your thoughts looping and going off “the what if cliff”. Perhaps grief has whirled into your life due to the loss of an animal companion, sibling, parent, loved one to suicide, or life transition. Whether you're finding your way through these or other challenges, I am here to provide a non-judgmental environment where you can express your thoughts, emotions, and concerns.

Not taking new clients at this time. The effects of trauma can undermine our natural ability to experience well-being in our lives, and it's not your fault. Traumatic experiences destroy trust and separate us from ourselves and others, often leaving us in pain and fear. Utilizing a strengths-based, somatic awareness, self-compassion approach, coupled with your daily practices, I support your journey in situations of grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, aging, cultural/ethnic injustice, and meaning of life questions, teaching / encouraging daily work in-between sessions.
