I’m Steph Elder. I was born and raised in Tennessee and have lived in this state my whole life long. I am a mom to three teens, four cats, and a dog. I enjoy Zen meditation, video games, and Dungeons and Dragons.

Sometimes we get stuck in cycles that repeat over and over. We want do something different. We want to be different. We want to go in a different direction and
become the person we always dreamed of being. But we find ourselves doing the same

Sometimes we get stuck in cycles that repeat over and over. We want do something different. We want to be different. We want to go in a different direction and
become the person we always dreamed of being. But we find ourselves doing the same
things again and again. And we don’t know why.
This is where I come in. I spent a decade teaching Zen mindfulness meditation. Most of my clinical experience was in substance abuse recovery working with people to
discover what motivated them to make the most drastic changes in their lives and then maintain those changes. My focus is on treating traumas, big and small, and creating meaning in my clients' lives.
I provide trauma-informed, LGBTQ-affirming, and neurodiversity-affirming therapy grounded in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (parts work), and attachment-based
approaches. My work is collaborative, compassionate, and non-pathologizing. We will focus on nervous system regulation, inner child healing, and building a secure
internal foundation so you can feel more grounded, confident, and connected.
If you are feeling stuck and would like help on the path to greater freedom, I am here to help you get there. I will work with you to find your direction of freedom and get you on the road to feeling more empowered every day.
