Somatic Therapists in Brentwood, TN

Do you struggle with sex getting more daily attention than your closest relationships? Maybe a previous infidelity or betrayal continues to plague the relationship? Many of my clients struggle to make sense of emotions, but long to feel safe and connected to friends and family. Despite our best protective strategies, emotional experiences will not be ignored. Over a lifespan, adaptive protective strategies of the past become our prisons. Mal-adaptive in the present, old and helpful strategies of the past form the barriers to trusting safe and connected relationships we all desperately desire.

Trauma expert Peter Levine stated, "Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood, and untreated cause of human suffering." At Be Found Counseling, we believe this whole heartedly. We see people, just like you, every day who come in asking the question, "why am I like this?" We know you want to live fully, without feeling the weight of anxiety, depression, overwhelm, hurt of the past and the struggle in the present. We know you want to heal. We know you want to feel whole.

Hi! Welcome to my profile! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Franklin and I love people. I believe that every person is of infinite value and is created strong, resilient, and brilliantly made. I find great joy in creating a safe place for individuals to feel seen, heard, and known. I use an integrative approach that encourages clients to find their voice and trust themselves and their bodies in their own story and process.

I am so glad you are here. Reaching out for help can be a difficult and crucial first step on the path to healing. And sometimes our hardest endeavors become our greatest joys. It is normal for us to have a wide range of experiences in this life. As a therapist, it is my goal to provide a safe space for clients to be seen, heard, and navigate all that life has in store. My professional experience includes a variety of trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, adverse religious experiences and spiritual issues, the music business and touring life, body image and disordered eating, and grief and loss.

I primarily work with individuals with histories of complex or developmental trauma, as well as acute trauma. I appreciate working with people struggling with or recovering from disordered eating, body images issues, or diet culture. I frequently work with anxiety and worry, and have experience working specifically with health anxiety and panic. I welcome anyone who feels hesitant (or maybe even skeptical!) towards their emotions or therapy; often, our greatest fears and desires are hiding under ambivalence and doubt, and I love treading into those waters with people.

Have you experienced harm through affiliation with a community of faith and now struggle with feelings of guilt and loneliness? Were you negatively impacted by the Purity Culture: sexual dysfunction, self-doubt, difficulty with intimate relationships? Has your exodus resulted in alienation from once-close loved ones, leaving you feeling adrift? Perhaps the transition out of your religious community happened years ago but the remnants of it linger in your mind, affecting your everyday-interactions, manifesting as anger, anxiety, and insomnia, even disconnection from self. I can help you process this and reconnect with you.

Hi there, I’m Betsy. I believe that while pain and loss are inescapable facets of the human experience, we can integrate them into the rest of our story when we connect to the safe presence of another. My guiding assumption as a therapist is that you have an inner healing intelligence inside of you, and it’s our collaborative work to cultivate your relationship to them by processing old wounds and gently examining that which no longer serves you as you slowly come to reclaim your whole self. I work with adults who have experienced complex trauma, religious harm and deconstruction, end of life, and grief and loss.

I'm extremely passionate about helping others live to their truest potential. Life has a way of putting many of us in a chronic fight or flight mode, and I strive to bring people back to their space of equilibrium. That place you go when you close your eyes and think about a life without as much chaos doesn't have to be a mere daydream, we can work together to make it reality.

My approach to therapy is rooted in connection and safety. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship for healing and growth, and I strive to create a safe, accepting space for each of my clients. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, psychodynamic perspective, exploring with clients how past experiences, attachment, and trauma have impacted them. I believe in the importance of acknowledging the whole self in the healing process, and I often incorporate ideas from Somatic Experiencing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, playtherapy/expressive arts, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into counseling.

You know yourself best, and I hope to help guide you in the journey of improving your quality of life. We all need help from an outside perspective from time to time; I create a safe, non-judgmental, environment to help you with your goals. Battling anxiety? Wanting to grow into a more authentic you? Let's work together to meet these struggles head on.

Hi!

With a compassionate approach and a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, my goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can heal and thrive.

I am passionate about working with women, teens, and members of the LGBTQ+ community on issues like disordered eating and eating disorders, body image challenges (not only the way we see our bodies, but the way we experience them), people pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, and depression. Currently, I am practicing with Kimberly Rate (License 4434) as my primary supervisor.

As a somatic psychotherapist, I use a combination of body-based and traditional talk therapies to help clients live more fully. My passion is working with clients who are struggling with the effects of trauma including anxiety, addictions, eating disorders, and relationship difficulties. Somatic Experiencing (SE) is my foundational lens while utilizing other evidenced based treatments including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Experiential, Dream Analysis and Adjunct to 12-Step. I view therapy as a collaborative process and see myself as a guide in helping my clients find their unique ability to address their struggles.

I am an Integrative Practitioner. Most clients who work with me are seeking a collaborative effort for wellness: open to mind / body approaches and a healthful path. Clients may be dealing with Anxiety or Depression or Life Transitions or Trauma. You may be working to find peace & purpose in your life. I hope to help you in evaluating and processing internal and external barriers that may prevent you from actualizing authentic-self potential. We will do this work with psychodynamic and somatic principals. We will work together to provide applicable skills for meeting the goals we establish.

I seek to destigmatize mental healthcare for all populations and provide a safe space where my clients feel seen and heard to navigate their relationships with themselves and others. As a South Asian American and daughter of immigrants, I have first hand experience of the deep effects that family of origin and cultural conflicts have on your lived experiences. I provide support for my clients in being their authentic selves and help them develop the skills they need to thrive. I want my clients to have an empathetic space to explore their challenges, process their thoughts and emotions, and experience healing.

Hello! I am a Nashville therapist for adults, adolescents, and couples. I hold a master's degree in marriage and family therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgemental environment where individuals can share all parts of themselves and be met with acceptance and understanding. My style is relational, meaning I desire to create a space to truly listen and engage with clients and work collaboratively as a team. I am comfortable utilizing an integrated approach that synthesizes my Christian values with research based practices if desired.

Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, but I believe in having therapy be an environment of empowerment, collaboration, and authenticity. My approach is client-centered, eclectic, and we will explore how different systems impacts your experiences. I specialize in trauma/complex trauma, sexual violence/abuse, domestic violence and emotional abuse, chronic pain/illness, depression and other mood disorders, eating disorders/disordered eating, non-traditional relationships, kink, and queer issues. I take an integrative approach to sessions and love to apply many therapeutic modalities to fit each individual client’s needs.

You're carrying the weight of navigating a world that often feels like it wasn't built for you. It can be brutal, the constant feeling of being on edge, the unseen barriers you face daily, and the overwhelming expectation to fit the “mold”. You're not alone. I'm here to help you heal, reclaim your life, and thrive. I understand that navigating these challenges can be incredibly difficult and that they can leave deep emotional scars. As a therapist working with individuals facing these issues, I deeply understand how these challenges can manifest and uniquely impact your life, and I recognize the interconnectedness between them.
