Brainspotting Therapists in Dowelltown, TN

Feeling lost, empty, overwhelmed, or a sense that something is wrong with you? Does it seem like you’re always stuck between feeling like ‘too much’ or ‘not enough?’ Maybe you’ve never truly felt seen, or you push others away before they can see the real you. To be authentically heard, understood, and accepted are fundamental human needs. Whether you’re seeking therapy to heal wounds, navigate relationships, break patterns of self-sabotage, or to explore your identity, I am honored to be a part of your journey.

I have experience working alongside clients with complex trauma, navigating grief, codependency patterns, addictions and relational trauma. I have worked with families, children, teens and adults with varieties of mental health conditions, challenging behaviors and histories of trauma. I cultivate a practice that emphasizes the importance of a body-mind connection through Brainspotting, IFS parts work, somatic embodiment, breath-work, decolonized and anti-racist framework that encourages stored bodily trauma to process and release. I have expertise in trauma-informed alignment based yoga practice.

If you're feeling stagnant, depressed, anxious, or just need a fresh start, counseling may be just what you need. I practice from a humanistic approach, considering the whole person. I am also trained in Prepare/Enrich for couples seeking premarital therapy, Brainspotting to assist in processing trauma, and Gottman Couple Techniques to assist couples in relationship issues. If you are ready to put in the work, I'm certain we can find the best approach to assist you in reaching your goals.

Do you feel stuck? Are you struggling with knowing what to do, but having a hard time getting there? Maybe you don't know where to begin! When working with clients I come from a holistic approach. We are all created with a mind, body and soul; therapy with me will tend to all parts of you. I am trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS and EFT- all evidenced based practices proven to be effective for treating trauma, depression, anxiety and other issues. Through talking and engaging in more structured interventions during therapy, you can begin to heal and create a value driven, purposeful life filled with joy and contentment.

As a Trauma Specialist I honor the differences between Counseling, Therapy, and Trauma Processing. I work well with people who are trying to break free from cycles of dysfunctional family patterns, people trying to do better than their parents did, people who are the product of an affair (NPEs), people who've had spiritually transformative experiences (NDE, OBE, etc), people experiencing Post Traumatic Stress, people who've suffered medical gaslighting and iatrogenic injury (especially vaccine injured people) and people who generally think outside the box. Seeing the world beyond the lens of convention is my specialty.

Hi, I’m DeAnn, and I would be honored to support you on your path to healing. I provide a nurturing space to collaboratively explore and move through challenges while cultivating heart-centered coping skills. Amid the noise of our often confusing, pressured, and disconnected world, I aim to help you remember who you are at your core, enhancing your creativity and authentic “voice.” I believe in the power of slowing down and being listened to by someone who can help you uncover calm and creativity within. Our work would involve honoring your past and navigating the road ahead while grounding in the present.

I work with clients on a wide variety of issues, always with the intention of increasing wellbeing and helping clients find meaning in their experience . Setting goals for therapy in collaboration with my clients is an essential part of my approach. In therapy, I try to integrate many aspects of human experience, and draw on my own wide range of life and professional experiences, including work as a teacher, living abroad, and my professional experience as a practicing attorney for more than a decade. I am supervised by Corinne Webster, PhD.

Welcome and thanks for checking out my profile. I'm Scott. Perhaps you’re here because your inner life has become too chaotic and you’re looking for a way to find peace. Or maybe you already sense some healing and recognize the need to deepen the inward journey, heal old wounds and find a therapist familiar with existential understanding, psychedelic integration and non-dual perspectives. Wherever you find yourself, I’ll meet you there. I’m sure of this; it is possible to access the wonder and creative energy of youth and move into new way of being in life.

I love helping clients make sense of their hidden stories and experiences. Often, these create chaos, make us unsure, and throw us off balance. I believe that everyone needs a comfortable place to rediscover balance and wholeness through unraveling their stories. While I see a variety of clients, I love pre-marital therapy, married couples struggling with intimacy, as well as singles and women who have experienced sexual trauma. I also have experience with Homeschool culture and the struggles and wins of the music industry. I offer flexible office hours including Saturdays.

Sometimes life's challenges can overwhelm us and exceed our capacity to work through them on our own. My practice is focused on providing a safe, non-judgmental environment to help those who need support moving past difficult life events and trauma experiences. I use a culturally sensitive lens and practice from a strengths based perspective to support those who have difficulty accessing their emotional self, are neurodivergent and who have experienced stressful or painful situations that involve spirituality or faith.

I operate from the perspective that therapy is not about changing ourselves. Rather, therapy is simply creating space for the seemingly dark, fearful, and shameful parts within us. These parts want to be seen and accepted, just as we all do. In sessions, I encourage my client to allow their body and inner wisdom to drive the progression of the therapeutic process. I believe that healing occurs as we gently move towards non-resistance and self-acceptance. This process catalyzes the body’s innate ability to transform emotions, the conscious, and the subconscious mind.

My passion is working with couples that feel stuck and pulled into destructive communication patterns in their relationship. I help couples heal from deep hurts and move towards intimate connection using Emotionally Focused Therapy, which is backed by research and a highly effective model for helping couples rebuild intimacy.

I help you create more of the life you want, one that feels better and is more personally satisfying. I work with trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, boundaries, narcissistic wounding, somatic issues, & other obstacles that keep you from thriving. Clients often reach out to me because they're feeling anxious, panicky, isolated, frustrated in relationships, stuck in perfectionism or people-pleasing, sad, unlike their usual selves, or desire for a deeper level of healing. If you want a collaborator to help you find your own unique way and provide practical strategies with a deep healing approach, I may be your person.

I am passionate about supporting people in their healing journey. Through life’s challenges and circumstances, we adapt and develop strategies that help us cope and meet our needs. These protective strategies make sense and are successful until they no longer support us in a way that is helpful. Pain and trauma may continue to keep us stuck in patterns or limit us to certain roles that are not a true reflection of all of who we are.

I believe a balance of effort and ease is at the heart of our journey toward health and wellness. I bring a compassionately direct and playful approach to the work we do together, allowing the therapeutic relationship to become the container necessary to nurture a loving relationship with yourself.

My approach as a therapist is to first reduce any distress that is showing up in the present in order to provide a more immediate sense of relief before walking alongside you to the places of pain in the past. Once we are able to step into past pain, we can work together to rewrite any false narratives and process through your individual experiences in order to create lasting healing. I have experience working with teenagers as young as 15, to adults in their late 70s. My specialties include working with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, chronic health issues and I have experience working with those who have a TBI.

We work with clients of all ages! We have therapists who work with children, teens, young adults, and adults. Clients who want to work with the difficulties of life benefit the most with us.

I am a Certified Grief Educator , trained by David Kessler. I was honored to be contracted by the TV show "THE DOCTORS" to work with one of their case studies. I have completed Levels 1-3 of Gottman Training for couples. I practice eclectic therapy styles to meet clients within their comfort zone. My trauma therapy techniques include EMDR and Brainspotting. I have been in practice since 2009. I love what I do so I am a big believer in continuous trainings that will make me the best that I can be.
