Trauma Therapy, EMDR & Brainspotting in Asheville, NC
YOU DON’T HAVE TO STAY STUCK IN SURVIVAL MODE
In-Person Therapy in Asheville | Online Therapy Across North Carolina
You want to make a change, but aren’t sure where to start
You’re self-aware (almost too self-aware, it feels like some days), and you’ve always handled what life throws at you. On the outside, you’re holding it all together, but internally, you’re in survival mode.
Maybe part of you wants things to change, while another part feels overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.
Whether it's constant worry, shame that plays on repeat, people-pleasing, or feeling stuck in burnout, therapy can help you understand the patterns that once helped you cope but may now be keeping you exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the life you want to live.

HI, I’M BROOKE
Brooke Stevenson, LCSW Trauma Specialist
I’m a trauma therapist in Asheville helping women and LGBTQ+ individuals reconnect with themselves and their bodies as they step into lives they love. I offer therapy that partners with your nervous system. I pay close attention to what’s happening beneath the surface, how your system is responding, what stuck points come up, and how we can move with your body.
My approach integrates EMDR, Brainspotting, Parts work (such as IFS), and somatic tools. Just as important is how we work together: we go at a pace that feels right for you, we include the parts of you that feel hesitant or unsure, and we work with your system, not against it.
I am an LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent affirming therapist , and a Health At Every Size (HAES) provider who doesn’t view you as something to fix. I’ll support you as you step into your strength and build confidence and trust in who you are.
Let’s Work With Your Nervous System
Overthinking, shutdown, people-pleasing, and disconnection often develop to help you navigate difficult or overwhelming experiences. Over time, these patterns can become automatic, even when they’re no longer supportive.
In therapy, we go beyond talking about these patterns and pay attention to where they show up in your body. Together, we'll learn to recognize when you're bracing, getting caught in thought loops, or starting to disconnect, and listen to what your body is communicating rather than pushing past it.
We’ll go at a pace that feels manageable, helping you feel more present in your daily life, connected in your relationships, and more attuned to your own needs.
Ready for deeper healing?
If you’re feeling stuck or exhausted from holding everything together, trauma therapy is a space to reconnect with yourself and move toward a life that feels more like your own.
I'd love to connect. Schedule a free consultation to see if we're a good fit.
