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 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
Many of the patterns that feel frustrating—overthinking, shutdown, people-pleasing, disconnection—didn’t come out of nowhere. They’re responses your system developed to help you navigate something difficult or overwhelming.
Over time, these same patterns can begin to run automatically in ways that are no longer supportive.
This is where therapy often needs to go deeper than just talk therapy. We go beyond recognizing the pattern to working with where it’s stored in the body.
Together, we’ll help you learn to recognize, listen, and respond to what your body is communicating. This might look like noticing when:
Your body tightens or braces.
Your mind speeds up or gets stuck in loops.
You start to disconnect or go quiet.
Rather than pushing past those moments, we learn to stay with them—at a pace that feels safe enough to your system—so they can begin to shift from the inside out, creating a ripple effect that impacts your daily life, habits and routines, relationships, and sense of self-worth.
Ways To Work With Me:
Individual Therapy
We’ll begin with a 90-minute intake to gather information and better understand your history and goals. Then we’ll schedule ongoing 50-55 minute sessions that support both immediate coping and deeper, long-term change. I also offer extended sessions for those who may benefit from longer and more in-depth processing.
Standard intake appointment (60 minutes): $225
Ongoing 50-55 minute sessions: $185
Extended Therapy Sessions
90-minute and 3-hour extended sessions provide space for deeper therapeutic work, allowing more concentrated time to explore patterns, process difficult experiences, strengthen nervous system regulation, and integrate meaningful change. Sessions may incorporate EMDR, parts work, somatic approaches, and other trauma-informed interventions based on your needs and goals.
Intensive Intake + Preparation (90 minutes): $350
90 minute extended sessions (following intake): $350
3-hour sessions: Starting at $675 (weekend availability; higher rates apply)
All services are available in-person at my Asheville office or online for residents of North Carolina.
