Welcome! My name is Chloe Bean and I am a Somatic Trauma Therapist for Anxious High Achievers and Trauma Survivors who are ready to feel embodied, empowered, and fulfilled. I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in Training who uses EMDR, Mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to foster healing, stability, and growth. I am a LGBTQ+, Neurodivergent, HAES, and BIPOC affirming therapist with a direct, down-to-earth, and warm approach. I specialize in supporting Neurodivergent and Highly Sensitive adults and teens/adolescents.
Clients I work with tend to feel like they have to have it all together. They may experience anxiety, panic attacks, and perpetual self-doubt. There may be a history of family conflict, childhood trauma, neglect, narcissistic/emotional and physical abuse, and/or sexual trauma. They may experience intimacy and relationship difficulties, including fears of abandonment, rejection, being alone, or losing independence and feeling smothered. Clients may be exploring their gender identity, sexuality, and how external messages impact self-worth. Clients I work with may experience disordered eating, body image concerns, or have a history of addiction. Clients tend to come in with ruminating thoughts/OCD, depression, burnout, grief, and loneliness.
Your healing journey will include developing your internal foundation and setting goals to nurture your body and inner voice through re-parenting work. By increasing trust in the process & self-compassion, you can connect with others from a grounded place of mind-body clarity, and move beyond what has been holding you back.
As someone who experienced anxiety and trauma, I found support in art, music, and somatic and IFS therapies. I have been motivated to pursue this profession since being a teenager and now I am honored to be able to help clients live to their fullest potential!
You deserve healthy, authentic love and intimacy. It is time to come home to yourself so you can fully engage in the world around you.
