Meet one of our speakers. 🌿

We are so excited to introduce Dr. Robyn Sonnier, LPC, LLC, a trauma-informed clinician, nationally recognized speaker, and passionate advocate for military personnel and first responders.

Dr. Sonnier brings over a decade of clinical expertise and a heart for service that speaks for itself, including over $50,000 in free therapy provided to veterans and active duty military.

She is exactly the kind of voice this room needs. We cannot wait for you to hear her this September.

Ever wonder what actually goes through a clinician’s mind in session?

We asked one of ours to share her honest perspective—rooted in IFS, ERP, and EMDR, and shaped by her deep work with trauma and first responders. One thing she wants clients to remember: trauma work takes time. It’s not something we can rush, even when we really want to. Moving through it safely and effectively means honoring the pace your system needs.

Dr. Robyn Sonnier’s approach is thoughtful, intentional, and grounded in knowing when to lean in, when to slow down, and how to support clients through the process in a way that actually lasts.

If that resonates, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself.

If you’re looking for a clinician, our team offers a range of specialties and approaches to meet you where you are. We’re here to help you find the right fit.

We asked one of our clinicians what they hear all the time in counseling and their typical responses…

Be honest—how many of these have you heard? 😅

And if you’re a clinician… how many did you say this week?

Simple phrases, but they usually mean a lot more underneath.
If something here felt familiar, that’s a place to start.

Sometimes when we feel overwhelmed, it’s not just in our head—our nervous system is activated and trying to protect us.
When that happens, it can feel hard to think clearly, stay present, or even feel like yourself.

That’s where quick, sensory-based “reset” strategies can help bring you back into the moment.

Things like:
• holding something cold
• splashing cold water on your face
• stepping outside for fresh air
• engaging your senses (what you can see, hear, feel)

These aren’t about forcing yourself to calm down—they’re about giving your nervous system a signal that you’re safe enough to come back to the present.

Over time, learning how to gently interrupt that activated state can help you feel more in control, rather than overwhelmed by it.

If you’re needing additional support, we have multiple clinicians at Clarté currently accepting new clients. You can also visit our website to request a session with any counselor who has availability.
