Change comes out of conflict, and healing begins when we feel safe. Together we will move toward change.
Our Approach.
We believe through a nurturing, positive relationship, we can explore root causes of depression, anxiety, and life dissatisfaction. Through this process, we can begin to reshape the self to feel confident, peaceful, and hopeful.
Our focus is on understanding how attachment, acute and intergenerational traumas, adverse childhood experiences, as well as our multi-cultural differences affect relationships with ourselves, and others, and our overall feeling of safety. It is through understanding how you relate to yourself, to others, to your past, and to your future that you will discover a sense of security and grounding.
As a strength-based, trauma-responsive practice, we believe that you are the expert in your life and that you are doing the best you can. Together we will identify patterns that have worked and the ones you would like to change. We will develop specific skills that will help you find meaning, peace, and balance in your life.
“There is nothing wrong with you that what is right with you can’t cure.”

Our Methods.
Clients often come to me asking “What is wrong with me?” They don’t believe me, initially, when I respond, “Nothing is wrong with you. We just need to learn to listen to some of the unheard messages of your mind and body.” By being curious, non-judgmental, and gentle, we will find new ways to understand old patterns, hurts, and beliefs and how they have impacted your life, behaviors, and mood. ~Odette Tomlinson, LPC-S, TFT-Dx
The therapists at Odette Tomlinson, LPC-S Counseling Group, PLLC use many different methods to help you hear your story. Often our oldest memories are non-verbal. Therefore, we use a combination of talk therapy with bodywork, somatic experiences, breathwork, EMDR, and thought field therapy-an energy-based therapy- to help us access and understand your deepest beliefs. Your therapist will encourage you to look at the parts of you that are frustrated and feeling stuck but also to listen to and see the parts of you that have reached out and asked for help. By leaning on your strengths, we will find the space to explore and listen to your unheard story. Your story matters and we want to help you hear it.
