We offer EMDR, Brainspotting, Parts Work and Functional Nutrition to heal the whole individual.
Another day, same routine, same uncertainty of what today will hold. Which will flare up first, your anxiety, chronic pain, or digestive issues? You’re tired of putting life on hold because you might have a flare up, but don’t have the bandwidth to do everything you once did. You struggle to claw yourself out of the thoughts of “I’m too much”, “something is wrong me”, and “I’m not worthy” and find the only time these thoughts don’t haunt you is when you are helping other people. You put on a brave face, even though you wish people could see your soul is suffering as you feel hijacked by your body. It feels like you can't win.

At Home Body Counseling, Sarah Shelton uses somatic-based therapies - EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing - to help clients increase body awareness, capacity to manage distress, and release trauma.
Sarah Shelton created Home Body Counseling for those looking to feel more calm and connected in their body and relationships. Feeling daily anxiety, overwhelm, and grief makes it hard to be present, know ourselves, enjoy our lives, or relate to others. Because our bodies hold onto past experiences, it's important we begin there to help us feel, care, and heal. Being able to slow down, witness, and see all parts of ourselves is how we begin to unburden and release stuck energy from our bodies to become more regulated and whole. This is your invitation to feel at home and at ease in your body, your life. You are welcome here.

I also use brainspotting (a brain- & mindfulness-based approach) to help clients process and regulate emotions on a neurological level.
Are you a compassionate, deep-thinking individual looking for a therapist to help you process your experiences without putting you in a box? I love helping smart, multi-layered, sensitive/empathetic people who want to heal their hearts and move toward their dreams. Life can start to pile on layers of painful emotions, fears that the past will repeat itself, and endless messages from other people or from society that can leave you feeling stifled, like you aren't living out your full potential. You might sense that emotional baggage or self-limiting beliefs are holding you back. You might just want to be HAPPIER and more joyful!

Are you overwhelmed trying to find your purpose and flooded with emotions one minute but feel detached the next? Maybe everything is "alright", but picking at you is agitation and malcontent. Numb is your middle name. You are not alone. What is trauma? It's both generational and experiential. It's whatever happened to you that blocked connection to self and didn’t allow your inner child to fully express. No baby is born bad. Love was conditional. You have mother wounds. You worked hard to please others and shut your light down; you hid what you were really feeling. You stopped trusting people-and yourself. You want freedom!

The two questions I get asked most often are: "Where do I go from here?" and "How do I make the changes I need to make?" My honest answer to both of these questions is always, "I don't know exactly. It's something that we need to figure out together." The journey to a person's happiness, peace, and/or balance is so incredibly unique; and though I realize that my response may not be the one they wish to receive, there is always reassurance that they will not have to traverse this particular part of their journey alone, for together we will explore all the possibilities to formulate the desired path forward.

Brainspotting Therapists

How does brainspotting work?

Brainspotting works by using eye positioning to identify and process traumatic memories so that a client is better able to move forward and live with less fear. The theory behind brainspotting is that by identifying where a person looks when thinking of traumatic memories, a therapist will be able to guide them to focus on that spot and work with the client to get them out of the “fight, flight, freeze” response associated with the traumatic memory.

Is brainspotting an evidence-based therapy?

Brainspotting is a theory-based alternative therapy. It is one of the newest forms of treatment, so very little research has been completed that examines the mechanism by which it works. The theory behind brainspotting is that eye position can be linked to areas of the brain that store and process memory.

How effective is brainspotting?

Because it is such a new treatment, the effectiveness of brainspotting cannot be quantified. Some people have found it to be effective on its own, or in conjunction with other types of therapy. It is considered an alternative therapy, and it is popular with people for whom more traditional therapies have proven ineffective.

How long does brainspotting take to work?

A typical brainspotting session will last between 60 to 90 minutes. There is no required number of sessions needed to complete brainspotting therapy, but in many cases it is delivered over the course of about six sessions. Clients are encouraged to rate their level of distress prior to a session and again following a session, and to track progress.
