Somatic therapy for Christian women carrying trauma, overwhelm, and experiences their body hasn’t been able to let go of.
Hey there! I’m Atara Parkinson.
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional
You may look functional on the outside while internally feeling anxious, disconnected, emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck carrying experiences your body hasn’t fully processed.
Through somatic and trauma-informed therapy, we’ll gently help your nervous system find safety, connection, and rest again.
I help clients find meaningful and lasting healing through reconnection with mind, body and soul so that they can live an embodied life.
Speaking
Atara loves speaking at conferences, summits, at schools, to parent groups, educators and more! She has over 15 years of experience in group facilitation.
Maternal Mental Health
Mom’s mental health matters. In a season of increased stress , neurological and biochemical changes, it’s essential in my world that mother’s receive the support they need.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a method that uses our field of vision and eye fixation to reveal, disrupt, and release negative or traumatic experiences.
Integrative
The mind and body work together. For too long, we’ve treated mental health in isolation with disappointing results. I work with client ‘s WHOLE selves for lasting change.
Collaboration

Somatic Process
