It’s Time to Heal — And You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
Holistic trauma therapy in Nashville. Supporting individuals 16+ in healing anxiety, panic, PTSD, and burnout with EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic therapy, and nervous system healing — so you can thrive, not just survive.
You’ve been carrying this weight for too long. Let’s lighten the load — together.
Does it feel like you’re always pushing through life on empty?
Does your mind race the moment you try to rest?
Are you tired of snapping at loved ones, or carrying the past like it just happened yesterday?
You’re not alone. Anxiety, panic, PTSD, and burnout affect so many of us — but the good news is: healing is possible.
At Dave Saunders Counseling, you’ll find a warm, compassionate space where we use trauma-informed care, EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic therapies to help your nervous system calm, your body reconnect, and your heart begin to feel safe again.
Together, we’ll move beyond coping — into living.
Anxiety doesn’t have to run your life. You can feel peace again.
When worry and overwhelm take hold, it can leave you feeling stuck, exhausted, even hopeless. If left unchecked, chronic anxiety can lead to burnout — draining your energy, joy, and sense of purpose.
But there is a way forward. Anxiety therapy in Nashville offers a safe space where we’ll gently explore what’s underneath the fear and racing thoughts. Using EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic therapy, and nervous system regulation techniques, we’ll help your body learn to relax and your mind to feel safe.
You are stronger than you think — and you don’t have to face this alone. Together, we’ll rediscover your sense of calm and resilience.
Panic Attack Therapy in Nashville
You are not broken — your body is trying to protect you. Let’s teach it how to feel safe again.
Panic attacks can feel terrifying — chest tightness, dizziness, shortness of breath, the overwhelming sense that something is wrong. It’s your body’s fight-or-flight system stuck on overdrive.
In panic attack therapy in Nashville, we’ll work together using trauma-informed care, EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic therapy to uncover the triggers behind the panic, and teach your nervous system new ways to respond.
With time, the attacks will lessen — and so will the fear of them. You can move through life again with more freedom, ease, and trust in yourself.
PTSD Therapy in Nashville
The past shaped you — but it doesn’t have to define you. Healing is possible.
PTSD can result not only from big, obvious traumas, but also from many “small t” traumas that build up over time and leave your nervous system on high alert. Nightmares, flashbacks, hypervigilance — these are signs your body is still trying to survive.
But together, we can help it shift. In PTSD therapy in Nashville, we’ll use EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic therapy, and nervous system healing to gently process what’s stuck — so your past no longer runs your present.
This is not about forgetting. It’s about remembering who you truly are beneath the trauma — and reclaiming your life with greater choice, freedom, and peace.
I’m Dave — and I believe in your capacity to heal.
As an experienced trauma therapist trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic therapies, I’ve helped many clients move beyond anxiety, panic, and PTSD — not just to “manage” symptoms, but to truly heal and thrive.
When your brain is stuck in fight-or-flight, it can feel like you’ll never get out. But trust me: with the right tools, guidance, and compassionate support, change is absolutely possible.
You’re not broken. You’re human. Together, we’ll help your nervous system reset, your body reconnect, and your spirit feel safe again. Healing is closer than you think.
You aren’t “crazy” and you’re not alone. Life doesn’t have to be like this all the time. Your brain is stuck in “fight or flight mode” and just needs some help to calm down. Together, we can make that happen.
