Therapy that goes beneath the surface

At Be Here Now, we believe meaningful change involves more than managing symptoms. Our work explores the experiences, patterns, beliefs, relationships, and nervous system responses that shape how you move through the world.

We integrate evidence-based trauma therapy with mindfulness, somatic awareness, and other experiential approaches to create treatment that is thoughtful, individualized, and grounded in the whole person.

A compassionate approach

We believe therapy works best when there is room for both depth and humanity. Our approach is warm, direct, collaborative, and non-shaming. Rather than viewing symptoms or protective patterns as something to eliminate, we become curious about what they developed to protect—and what may be possible when they are no longer needed in the same way.

Our work is informed by trauma psychology, attachment, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and contemplative practices. Depending on the person and their goals, therapy may include EMDR, experiential work, parts-informed approaches, meditation, breathwork, or other practices that support greater awareness and integration.

There is no single path to healing. Treatment is shaped around the person in front of us, with respect for each client's beliefs, values, history, and lived experience.

What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach designed to help people process distressing experiences that continue to influence present-day emotions, beliefs, physical responses, and behavior.

During EMDR, the therapist helps you bring aspects of an experience into awareness while using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or alternating taps. Over time, memories that once felt highly activating may become less emotionally charged, while more adaptive perspectives and associations become easier to access.

EMDR can be used for traumatic experiences as well as other distressing memories and patterns that continue to affect daily life. You remain awake and present throughout the process, and detailed disclosure of every aspect of an experience is not always necessary.

Our therapists integrate EMDR within a broader, individualized treatment process rather than viewing it as a stand-alone technique.
