"Finding yourself is not really how it works.....Finding yourself is actually returning to yourself.  An unlearning, and excavation, a remembering who you were before the world got it's hands on you."  -- Emily McDowell

I'm a licensed professional counselor (since 2000) and opened my private practice in Bend in 2006. My work focuses on attachment and relationship patterns shaped by trauma and life challenges, using mindfulness, interpersonal neurobiology, and EMDR. I also pay close attention to how the body holds and protects against injury.

Movement has been essential to my own self-care—through workshops like meditation, Feldenkrais, 5Rhythms, and Soul Motion™, as well as outdoor play as a mindfulness practice. These explorations helped me discover what nourishes my soul, and I’m passionate about sharing that with others.

After a three-month sabbatical in 2019, riding across Europe by bike, I felt called to bring more embodied work into my professional life. That led to the launch of Soul in Motion in January 2020.

Since then, I've offered in-person and online sessions: weekly gatherings for movement and connection, deeper workshops, and a therapeutic group called Tending for those ready to move through what's alive in them, supported by community.

After the sudden death of my partner in early 2024, my work took a new direction. Grief opened the door more widely to movement and group-based healing, and I began training in psychedelic-assisted therapy, specifically with ketamine and psilocybin. These modalities have been deeply healing for me, and I now integrate them into my work with the intention of helping others navigate profound transformation.

Today, in addition to my Soul in Motion offerings, I continue to offer individual and couples therapy, consultation and supervision for therapists, and individual and group work with ketamine and psilocybin.  More information can be found here:  https://lynneherbertlpc.com/
