Beth Burgmeyer, LPC

Beth Burgmeyer, LPC I am a mental health therapist who specializes in helping individuals who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, or stressful life changes.

I’m trained in trauma-informed practices, including equine-assisted therapy. About Me:
I’m passionate about helping individuals who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, or stressful life changes. It takes courage to ask for help, and it’s a privilege to walk beside you on your journey toward healing, peace, and balance in your life. As a client-centered therapist, I will partner with you and provide a safe, judgment-free space for you to tell your story. Every person deserves to be heard and understood. No single approach is the right one for every person, so I have been trained in a range of modalities. In my twelve years of experience, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults. My primary specialty and focus is EAP (Equine Assisted Psychotherapy) and TF-EAP (Trauma Focused Equine Assisted Therapy). Horses have so much to teach us about relationships, true connection, and mindfulness. It is through connected relationships and brain integration/regulation that so many people find healing with these incredible horses. I invite you to reach out to me to see if my services would be a good fit for you. I’m located at the Natural Lifemanship Institute in Brenham, Texas. If you’d like to take the next step, call or email me to set up a free fifteen-minute consultation.

Holding space for a client and supporting someone just by being with them have created some of the most powerful moments in therapy, especially equine assisted psychotherapy. There are moments between clients and their horses where I need to step back, be quiet, and let the power of the relationship between the horse and the client happen. The other day I was giving a demonstration on ways to facilitate rhythmic riding during therapy. This person wasn’t a client, but they experienced a powerful moment. I told the others therapists watching, “This is when I shut up and get out of the way and let the person sit in this moment for as long as they need to.” It’s natural to want to process something as soon as we see it, but “being with” and holding space often have more power than words. I would process these things later, but not in the moment.

I tell my clients that one of the first steps in their journey is just to notice things both inside and outside of themselves. Notice how their breath is in that moment. Notice if there’s tension anywhere in their body, notice any sensations in their body that accompany their emotions. It’s okay to sit in uncomfortable moments for a little while and explore those moments with gentle curiosity instead of judgement. It’s hard to change anything until we take the time to really step into it. The same goes for moments of peace and comfort. Sit in those moments and truly experience them.

Getting training from the The Natural Lifemanship Institute has been life-changing, both personally and professionally. Their trauma informed and relationship-based approach to therapy offers hope to so many people, especially those with complex trauma. I feel blessed every day that I get to do this work with my clients, with my therapy partner, and with our incredible equine partners.

This is important, but so so hard to do. it’s so difficult to sit in discomfort, but noticing those uncomfortable sensations and feelings leads to awareness. That awareness keeps you in the present moment instead of being thrust back into any past trauma. If you can stay grounded and present as you sit with discomfort and pain, you can begin to move through it.

The triggers don’t go away and the trauma doesn’t go away, but with trauma informed therapy, the trauma and triggers don’t have to hijack your life anymore.
