Tatianna Saunders LPCC

I am someone who has rebuilt my life from the inside out. I know what it is to unravel, to question everything, and to piece myself back together in a way that feels more honest. I value working within communities I’m part of. Feeling seen and understood—especially in therapy—is foundational. Sometimes safety is built not only through words, but through shared humor, cultural nuance, subtle cues, or the quiet permission to stim.

I am drawn to the symbolic, the somatic, and the subtle layers shaping how we relate to ourselves and the world. My work is grounded in somatic therapy, applied interpersonal neurobiology, and depth psychotherapy. I offer Brainspotting, a brain-body therapy that emerged from EMDR in 2003 and helps access and process deeply held emotional and somatic experience. Brainspotting is based on the principle that "where you look affects how you feel," using specific eye positions ("brainspots") connected to stored distress to allow the nervous system to release what has been held beneath conscious awareness. I also draw from attachment and polyvagal frameworks, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness and nervous system tracking, expressive arts and active imagination, held in a relational, trauma-informed therapeutic container.

Sessions feel gentle, collaborative, and at times playful, guided by your direction and our connection. We track sensations, emotions, beliefs, and patterns to build safety and self-compassion, access creative resources, support inner dialogue, and restore integration between body, mind, and self. We move at the speed of trust and the rhythm of safety.
