Tara Brisco, LCSW Psychotherapist

In a world filled with challenges, having the right support on your journey is essential. Welcome to Wounded Healers Inc., a unique and highly individualized holistic psychotherapy practice designed for those seeking deep healing and inner transformation. With nearly 15 years of experience, our practice emphasizes evidence-based, trauma-focused care tailored to your specific needs.

The traditional Western psychological models often overlook the rich cultural contexts that shape human experiences. By acknowledging these realities, we aim to provide a holistic understanding of healing that honors the experiences of both the socially subordinated and the privileged.

Specializing in trauma, addiction, disordered eating, body image, and support for chronic illness, our approach blends personal experience with professional expertise. Trauma can arise from various sources—abuse, neglect, natural disasters, or other overwhelming events—and can lead to a range of emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms. Our trauma-focused care prioritizes creating a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, ensuring that clients feel secure, respected, and understood, especially those who have experienced betrayal or harm.

At Wounded Healers Inc., we prioritize the integration of evidence-based interventions to support our clients on their healing journeys. Our therapeutic approach includes modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is effective in addressing trauma-related symptoms by facilitating the processing of distressing memories. We also employ Internal Family Systems (IFS), a model that helps individuals understand and harmonize the various parts of themselves, fostering internal healing. Somatic therapy plays a crucial role in addressing the body’s stored trauma, while Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) assist clients in releasing physical tension and emotional stress. Additionally, we incorporate Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, which can create profound shifts in mental health by enhancing therapeutic experiences and promoting emotional processing. Collectively, these approaches offer a comprehensive framework for addressing trauma and supporting lasting change.

Empowerment lies at the heart of our approach. We encourage clients to actively participate in their healing process by setting goals and choosing methods that resonate with them. This collaborative partnership fosters a sense of control, enabling clients to engage fully in their recovery. We incorporate holistic practices that address the mind, body, and spirit, supporting clients in cultivating a healthier self-image and a more connected life.

With a commitment to excellence, our sessions are crafted to cultivate deep healing and personal growth within a serene and supportive environment. We believe that investing in your mental well-being is a vital step toward achieving the life you envision.

We look forward to accompanying you on this journey toward empowerment and resilience!
