Feeling really grounded and grateful to share this 🌿✨
For those who don’t know me, I’m Josie Shearer, LMSW the behind-the-scenes person for our page and outreach program, and one of the original providers who helped get Ascent Therapy started in Harrison.
I’ve officially completed my EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training and am now offering EMDR in my practice. 🤗💛
My work is very heart-centered and never one-size-fits-all, especially when working with children, adolescents, and families. I love blending EMDR with somatic work (tuning into the body), attachment-focused care, parts work, and cognitive interweaves to help people make sense of their feelings in a safe and supportive way.
I also weave in Polyvagal Theory to help clients better understand their nervous system because behavior makes so much more sense when we look at what’s happening underneath it.
Whether it’s big emotions, trauma, anxiety, or just needing extra support, I’m passionate about creating a space where clients feel safe, seen, and able to grow. 🌼
If you’re looking for support for your child, teen, or family, feel free to reach out or share. ☺️💛
