Telehealth Therapy in Atlanta & Georgia
Somatic, trauma-focused, and depth-oriented therapy for midlife women navigating anxiety, burnout, and life transitions with Sara Anderson, LPC
With 25+ years of clinical experience, my approach is designed for efficiency and depth. By integrating neuroscience-based modalities like EMDR and Havening, we often reach in weeks what traditional talk therapy can take months to address.
How this work actually looks.
Sessions with me don't always look like what you might expect from therapy.
I work within two integrated and proprietary frameworks I developed that guide every session.
The first is the SOMA Code™ — a somatic and depth-oriented approach to reading what the body is holding. Sense, Observe, Map, Align. We begin with what the body is already saying — the tightness, the weight, the posture, the place where breath catches — and we follow that information deeper rather than talking around it.
The second is the Belonging-Becoming-Being™ framework — a map of where you are in your own developmental arc. Belonging is the work of settling the nervous system and finding solid ground. Becoming is the reclamation — finding your way back to the woman you were always meant to be, through the language of the body and the psyche. Being is integration — living from that place, with intention and awareness.
Within these frameworks, I draw from a clinical repertoire built over 25 years across multiple disciplines — EMDR, Havening Techniques®, polyvagal-informed interventions, attachment theory, Theraplay, play therapy, mindful self-compassion, applied somatic Jungian psychology, expressive and projective approaches, and humanistic psychology.
None of these are pulled from a menu. They emerge from the moment — from what your nervous system needs, what your psyche is offering, and what the body is already trying to say.
A session might look like this: you arrive carrying something you can't quite name.
I ask where you feel it in your body.
You notice tightness in your throat. I invite you to let that part of you lead — through movement, through sound, through whatever wants to emerge.
An image surfaces. I ask what it needs.
Your body begins to find its own answer — and something that has been frozen for years begins to move.
Or it might look like this: you bring a memory that has never been spoken aloud. I suggest clay Play-Doh and ask you to give it shape without needing to explain it. Your posture shifts as you work. I notice and we follow that. Something that lived only in the body begins to find form — and then begins to release.
This is part alchemy, part science, part myth, part meaning — and all human. The work is precise and it is also responsive. It follows what is alive in the room, in the body, and in the psyche — and trusts that your own inner knowing, given the right conditions and the right held space, will find the way through.
The result is not just insight. It is integration. Something shifts in muscle, breath, and bone — not just in understanding. And that shift holds in a way that insight alone rarely does.

All sessions are conducted via telehealth. A valid credit card is required to reserve your appointment, and payment is due at the time of service. All major credit cards accepted.
Sessions begin at $185 — consistent with specialized, self-pay depth therapy from a clinician with 25 years of experience and advanced training in EMDR, Havening Techniques®, and somatic Jungian psychology. This is not insurance-based therapy. It is specialized clinical work with no treatment plan requirements, and no diagnosis required.
I am an out-of-network provider. While I do not accept nor bill insurance directly,
You have the right to receive a 'Good Faith Estimate' explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
Because appointment times are limited and reserved specifically for you, a 72-hour cancellation notice is required. Late cancellations and missed appointments are automatically charged the full fee for the scheduled session. Intensive scheduling terms are discussed at the time of booking.
