🌿 About Us

At Evolution of Self Counseling, we believe healing happens through connection — with self, with others, and with the body’s natural wisdom. Our practice provides a safe, compassionate space for individuals to explore the patterns, pain, and possibilities that shape their lives. Whether you are seeking help for trauma, dissociation, emotional regulation, or life transitions, our team is here to walk beside you with warmth, skill, and respect for your unique journey.

Our therapists are highly trained and deeply dedicated to trauma-informed, evidence-based care. We offer a wide range of specialized therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Brainspotting, Somatic Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). We also integrate the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and parts work for structural dissociation to help clients reconnect with their bodies and emotions in gentle, grounding ways.

Our clinicians combine professional expertise with a deep commitment to humanity and hope. Emily Williams, LPC/S, LAC/S, MAC, CS and Theresa Wheeler, LPC/S, LAC/S, MAC, CS, our founders, bring decades of experience and leadership in complex trauma, dissociation, addiction, and emotional regulation. They are joined by a skilled team of clinicians — Jenna Sahli, Aubrey Grinstead, Jennifer Pence, Margaret Cross, Jamie Baston, and Amber Hudson — each bringing unique strengths, areas of focus, and a shared dedication to mindful, compassionate care.

At Evolution of Self Counseling, therapy is more than symptom management — it’s a process of rediscovering safety, connection, and meaning. Our approach is integrative and individualized, blending science and heart to meet each client where they are. Through individual, group, and family therapy, we help clients move toward greater resilience, self-trust, and wholeness.

Our mission is to help you reconnect with your inner strength, honor every part of yourself, and build a life that feels grounded, authentic, and alive. ✨
