Hi. I’m tesa emmart, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, licensed in both Illinois & Indiana.

In addition to my graduate training in traditional psychotherapy I have sought out extensive training in body-centered methods, including Somatic Experiencing and Somatic Touch.

I specialize in postpartum mental health, pre and perinatal trauma, and developmental trauma. I understands the profound courage it takes to seek support and thus meets my clients where they are in their vulnerability. Change can be difficult and I am passionate about creating a safe and collaborative space that fosters growth. I help my clients learn ways to discover and connect with their innate capacities towards healing. I believe that over time, as we can get our minds and bodies communicating with one another, we can find inner calmness and curiosity towards our outside world.
