The Embodied Woman
Emma Sheldon, LCMHC-Psychotherapy
Trauma-informed, relational psychotherapy for adults in Vermont
Welcome
I offer licensed psychotherapy for adults seeking support with trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and patterns that may feel difficult to shift on your own.
My approach goes beyond simply talking about what is happening. Together, we bring compassionate attention to the patterns, emotions, protective responses, and experiences held within your system, supporting greater understanding, regulation, and connection with yourself.
My Therapeutic Approach
My work is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment-based therapy, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and trauma-informed psychotherapy.
Therapy is collaborative and paced with care. Rather than pushing toward change, we become curious about what your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and protective patterns may be communicating.
Our work may include developing greater awareness of your internal experience, understanding patterns shaped by past relationships or experiences, strengthening nervous system regulation, and building a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
The intention is not simply greater insight, but supporting meaningful change in how you experience yourself, your relationships, and your life.

Psychotherapy & The Embodied Woman
My psychotherapy practice and The Embodied Woman are two distinct ways of working with me.
Psychotherapy is a licensed mental health service provided within a clinical framework and in accordance with Vermont licensure requirements. The Embodied Woman offers separate non-clinical services, including somatic and embodiment practices, coaching, sound healing, workshops, retreats, and spiritual offerings.
If you are looking specifically for licensed mental health treatment or need to utilize health insurance for services, psychotherapy may be the appropriate place to begin.
