EMDR Therapists in Memphis, TN

Are anxiety and depression constant companions in your life? Do you wonder if fulfillment in life, relationships, and work are possible? It could be that your life was going quite well until an unwelcome visitor such as chronic pain, a diagnosis, loss, addiction, betrayal, or trauma showed up to stay. Or, it could be that you have rarely if ever enjoyed a sense of well-being. My greatest joy is in helping people find strength, hope, and happiness despite the darkest of life’s experiences.

The treatment of complex histories of trauma, eating disorders, and attachment disruptions must include interventions that rewire the brain from the bottom up, somatic movement to reintegrate the body with the brain, and a felt sense of safety, in the context of relationship. This provides lasting change for improved regulation, mood, energy, the ability to be present and attune to others. Too many therapies focus on decision making, problem solving, or changing your thoughts. This is not how we are wired to work. It leads to disappointment. My evidenced based interventions promise to be different.

You deserve to live the life you desire, and I can help you get there. I believe that compassion, curiosity, and connection are fundamental for healing and growth. I meet my clients where they are with empathy and openness in order to help them experience less anxiety and depression & more authenticity and freedom. I take a collaborative approach by using IFS and EMDR to help clients develop a deeper understanding of their unique patterns, work through past trauma, unburden them from negative core beliefs, establish positive/safe connections, and offer mindful strategies to cope with life's challenges.

Hi! My name is Liz, I am a counselor who works with clients who may be struggling with life’s difficult experiences like anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes. I enjoy working most with those who are motivated for change, ready to do the work, and are willing to learn more about their human experience in order to grow their understanding of their true selves.

Feeling uncertain, alone, sad, lonely, invisible, or isolated about life, relationships or work/school? Have anxiety, depression, or trauma left you with a lack of motivation or negative self talk that prevents you from meeting your goals?

Rachel Held Evans wrote that "we live inside an unfinished story." Are you lacking clarity about what you want to do with your life? Did you have a difficult or confusing childhood, and now struggle with connection to others? Did you experience a traumatic event or relationship that has been difficult to overcome on your own? Do you struggle in relationships and wonder why you have the same problems time and time again? Do you have a chronic illness and experience the emotional pain, disappointment, and despair it can bring? If any of this resonates with you, I can help you write the rest of your story.

Are you seeking someone to talk to about your problems and freely express your thoughts and feelings? If so, I may be the person for you. Life can present challenges that require help in sorting through emotions. I have successfully assisted individuals in navigating difficult situations such as divorce, parenting, job loss, illness, and death. My goal is to provide a safe space where you can explore and process your emotions and feelings.

It has been shown time and again the relationship between client and counselor is the most important part of a therapy experience. It is always on my mind to ensure that our relationship remains entirely focused on you, but as a part of the collaborative duo that will become client and therapist I’m happy to share a bit about myself. Relationally, I have been described as down-to-earth, authentic and sincere and I enjoy a bit of humorous banter in the therapy space as the situation calls for it. With humility and curiosity I am eager to hear about your life experiences. Licensed in TN (license 3396) & Virginia (license 0701010748)

There is no substitute for compassion in the counseling relationship. I believe in a whole-person approach. This means that everything is relevant: family of origin, unwanted life events, current relationships, physical health and well being, and everyday coping challenges. I assist my clients with life transitions, grief, early childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, chronic pain, relationship challenges, and spiritual issues. I endorse and have expertise in mindfulness-based practices and 12+ years of Hospice experience. Strengths: trusting relationships with my clients.

As a therapist, I strive to create an environment that affirms who you are as a person. Therapy involves some of our most vulnerable experiences and my practice centers on being supportive so you feel secure while exploring ways to improve your daily life. So much of a positive human experience involves being heard and validated by others, especially in our own homes. I will work with you and your loved ones to learn healthy communication skills to improve your relationships, increase acceptance and understanding in the home, and learn to manage conflict in a healthy manner.

I have been doing psychotherapy since 1994. The first two years I worked with recovering alcoholics and addicts. The next 7 years I visited homes and did family counseling. Since that time I have been in Private Practice working with those who have been suffering from anxiety, depression, Posttramautic Stress, ADHD issues, marital conflict, and much more.

Challenges are a part of life. When challenges cause grief, trauma, excessive stress, sadness, anxiety, and or unmanaged anger, counseling can be an affective tool to help get you through it. If you are looking to improve your mood, build self esteem, strenghthen relationship(s), or work through problems in school or at work, Aesthetic Life Counseling Services is the resource for you.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families in the areas of marriage counseling, affair recovery, sexual intimacy, sexual addiction recovery, trauma and abuse, EMDR , depression, anxiety and other mental health issues. My desire is to provide quality professional care to those that are in desperate need of experiencing hope and healing through their brokenness and pain. Seeking someone to walk with you through your darkest moments can provide the opportunity for tremendous growth and greater understanding of who you are created to be. I believe this is done well through a relational approach that will provide growth emotionally, spiritually and relationally.

Are you ready to let go who you think you're supposed to be? Are you ready to embrace who you really are? Sometimes life gets hard. We don't have to do it alone; we were never intended to. Perhaps it is struggles with Anxiety, Depression, grief/loss, stress management, unresolved trauma, life adjustment issues, or low self-esteem. Or maybe you aren't quite sure what is wrong but you know something isn't quite right. That's okay too. I have a passion for working with people who have a vision of a better life in regards to self-care and self-worth with a desire for a life of abundance.

A genuine, trusting relationship is the essential basis for psychological healing and growth. Within that framework, we incorporate the tools and strategies for change that seem most suited to each individual's preferences, worldview and primary concerns. We believe in partnering with individuals by combining our training in evidence-based interventions with the strengths and resources they possess to best facilitate change. We believe in addressing all areas of a person's life: emotional, physical, social, and spiritual.

Do you work too much but don't feel like you do enough? Can't leave the office? Find it hard to relax in healthy ways? Do you have dreams? What did you want to do when you were a little kid? Have you met your goals for yourself? Do you have nightmares? Rigid behaviors you would like to change? I can help you to understand yourself better. In doing so you can learn to access your internal powers to make changes in your life. I can help you discover and affirm your unique self.
