Bethany Matheson graduated from Vanderbilt University’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program, and is currently practicing in TN as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Yoga Teacher. She specializes in complex trauma work with children and adults using somatic-based therapy and EMDR. Her EMDR journey began when she was in grad school, so she’s never been a therapist without it! She loves helping other therapists move through their own anxiety about using EMDR with clients, and she is a great fit for those looking for a somatic focus with all ages.

Angela Ricci

Angela has been in private practice since 2003 and has worked with a wide array of clients over her career. In 2018 she attend an EMDR training and loved it so much that she began specializing in EMDR therapy to treat her current client population. Very quickly her clientele shifted to those struggling with trauma, c-ptsd and ptsd. She has since gone on to become certified in EMDR and recently finished her hours to become an EMDR approved consultant. Angela has attended many hours of specialized training in treating trauma related disorders, has become a level 1 Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, and is working toward level 2. Angela has a unique interest in treating dissociation and dissociative disorders and continues to seek additional trainings and consultation to expand her knowledge and expertise in this area.
