Simone McNamer, Rostered Psychotherapist
Simone is a Rostered Psychotherapist (non licensed non certified) in private practice in Vermont. She holds a Masters of Arts in Buddhist Psychology and Contemplative Psychotherapy from Naropa University. In therapy, Simone supports individuals and couples to identify and transform areas of their life they find difficult or unsatisfying through trauma informed and emotionally attuned talk therapy. Prior to becoming a therapist, Simone worked for over a decade supporting diverse populations in social service agencies. Simone sought out the opportunity to train with master therapist Annie Brook to further incorporate practical and energizing somatic ways of working with clients. She has found that integrating the body into talk therapy allows clients to experience optimal results in their everyday lives. In her spare time, Simone enjoys spending time outside in the lush green mountains of northern Vermont where she lives with her partner, daughter, dogs and chickens.

Amanda Karst, Coach
Did you know that the relationship between therapist/coach and client is more predictive of effectiveness of sessions than modality, years of training, or any other factor is?
And that it's absolutely crucial to access "felt sense" instead of just talking "about" problems without doing so?
If you feel drawn to working through something, you can book a session below.
Some of my clients have been incredible therapists and yoga teachers with decades of experience as practitioners and teachers. One told me I guided him into a deeper level of work than anyone else was able to. One told me she no longer felt so scared in her relationship and felt joy and playfulness. Another realized during our sessions how much she really wanted to date again, and stopped avoiding dating and found a fun new relationship. (Sometimes it's as simple as this: being listened to deeply by someone with very different skills can help, even for people who are already highly skilled and really good at giving others the very thing they also need!)
Note: I am not a psychotherapist: I will care about you and support you, and do have some stabilizing training. And, please take full responsibility for your psychological and physical wellbeing, and be emotionally prepared and open to receive not only my support and encouragement and belief in you, but challenge to the blocks that hold you back from where you want to go.
If you are specifically looking for psychotherapist support for your wellbeing, Simone, on this page, is a great psychotherapist!

Damian Leuthold, RSME, RSMT, MT, NLC.
I am a movement educator (RSME + RSMT), manual therapist (MT), somatic counselor (NLC), and a long time student and practitioner of the Brook Institute's method of practicing perinatal somatic psychotherapy. I would be honored to support you to attend to and move beyond your self destructive, self limiting habits.
There is a better life available to you beyond the self preservation behaviors you have developed over a lifetime of hurt. It is available for you when you engage your fears... slowly, playfully, and by cultivating resources within and without. You can overcome them!
I had many autistic behaviors before encountering the Brook institute's teachings. Thanks to the huge growth that I have experienced since I have the capacity to support you to get past your own immense internal blocks!
