Sandy Brown, Board-Certified Therapist Specializing in Somatic Therapy, Attachment Healing, and Nervous System Regulation
If you're here, you may be…
✓ Exhausted from “just pushing through”
✓ Constantly anxious or overwhelmed
✓ Easily triggered in relationships
✓ Stuck in survival mode
You are not broken.
Your nervous system learned how to survive overwhelming and difficult experiences.
Therapy can help your nervous system learn a new way to feel safe and regulated.
Therapy Can Help You Experience…
Many clients begin to notice:
A calmer nervous system
Less emotional reactivity
More stability in relationships
The ability to process painful memories safely
A stronger sense of identity
More joy, presence, and connection
This work is not about fixing you.
It is about helping your nervous system finally feel safe again.
If you’re ONLY looking for quick advice or surface-level coping skills, this may not be the best fit.
There are many therapists who focus on short-term strategies to manage symptoms. That work can be helpful. But the therapy I offer goes deeper.
Many of the people I work with want to understand why they feel the way they do and how past experiences may still be shaping their nervous system, relationships, and sense of self.
This work may be a good fit if you:
Struggle with anxiety, triggers, depression, or emotional overwhelm
Are healing from childhood trauma or difficult family dynamics
Are processing religious trauma or church hurt
Want deeper, body-based trauma healing
This work focuses on lasting change, not just symptom management.
If that resonates with you, the next step is simply a conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We talk about what’s happening in your life and may explore how it shows up in your body. I might invite you to notice tension, look around the room, try a small movement, or explore what helps you feel grounded. You can decline any invitation, and we decide the pace together.
-
You don’t need to be good at noticing your body to begin. We can start with something simple, like feeling the chair supporting you or noticing your surroundings. There’s no need to force a sensation or search for the “right” response.
-
Understanding a pattern doesn’t always change how you respond in a difficult moment. We can explore the thoughts, emotions, body responses, and protective parts involved, then practice different ways of responding. Your insight gives us a place to begin.
-
Yes. We’ll discuss what helped in previous therapy, what felt missing, and what you want now. Somatic awareness and parts work can bring additional ways of exploring your experience while continuing to make room for conversation and reflection.
-
If you’ve struggled with feeling “too much” or “not enough,” have a hard time trusting yourself, or feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, shame, or disconnection, trauma therapy may help. You don’t need a specific diagnosis or a “big trauma” to begin. If something in you knows it’s time to heal, that’s enough.
-
Sessions are collaborative, grounded, and attuned to what you’re ready for. Some days might look like talk therapy and reflection, while others may focus more on somatic awareness or parts work. We might explore your inner child, set boundaries, or process emotions related to past experiences, always at your pace. This is your space to be curious, feel safe, and reconnect with yourself.
-
Self Aligned Therapy is a private pay practice, which means we do not bill insurance directly. We are not a Medicaid provider. If you have Medicaid coverage that includes mental health services, I am not able to offer mental health services to you.
Many of our clients choose to pay out-of-pocket for greater privacy and flexibility in their care. If you have out-of-network benefits, we can provide a superbill upon request, which you may submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.
If you’re unsure about your out-of-network benefits, we’re happy to guide you in what to ask your insurance company.
-
Absolutely! You’re able to use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) card to pay for therapy services.
Accepted Payment Methods: Credit cards, Debit cards, FSA/HSA accounts, Cash, and Check.
-
Self Aligned Therapy offers a limited number of reduced-rate sessions for clients with financial need. At this time, all sliding scale spaces are currently full. If cost is a concern, clients are welcome to inquire about referrals for other affordable therapy options in the community.
-
You can start by reaching out through my contact form. I’ll follow up to schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation where we can talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping for, and any questions you have. If it feels like a good fit, we’ll schedule your first session and go from there.
