ABBE UTTER, LPC-MHSP

I am a licensed professional counselor, mental health service provider (LPC-MHSP). I received my B.S. in Psychology from Freed-Hardeman University and my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lipscomb University.

I am trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) levels 1 and 2, Somatic Experiential Therapy level 1, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, Trust-Based Relationship Intervention (TBRI) Levels 1-4, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Gottman Method for Couples (level 1), and Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST).

I am passionate about helping others feel free and empowered. Due to life-experiences, hurts, shame, we can all experience dissonance from self and find ourself with a myriad of symptoms due to what we have been through.

My hope, through using an integrative, individualistic therapeutic approach, is to help each client feel less-burdened and gain autonomy—freedom to be the truest, most alive version of self.

I am especially focused on working with individuals that have experienced trauma. Further, I have experience in working with individuals seeking to recover from an eating disorder; I work from evidenced-based modalities and am HAES-aligned. I have found that trauma, the body, and spirituality are intertwined in the healing work, and I am passionate about walking with individuals navigating their healing in regard to their spirituality. Further, I see individuals for:

-Existential concerns//Identity work—(Who am I? Where do I belong? What do I want? What do I believe?)

-Anxiety

-Depression

-Stress in Relationships

I welcome clients from all walks of life, in all bodies, and all genders.
