TRAUMA ENGAGED TRAINING: Shame Creative Experiential with Sara Stone NCC, LCPC
Sara Stone (Mind Over Matter Coaching & Counseling), CALC, NCC, LCPC (she/her) is the lead clinician at Mind Over Matter in Bigfork, Montana. At her private practice, Sara is known for her casual, but informed, approach to connecting with and holding space for those impacted by trauma at their core. You can find her offering her clients a hot cup of tea, walking around barefoot, and ready to “lean in” and meet clients right where they are. Sara allows clients to see her authentic, clinical and community, self which invites them into a space where they can be brave and eventually (hopefully)…fully express themselves as well.
For a decade Sara has been on a journey to improve access to quality, trauma engaged care in rural Montana. Sara began by founding a school-based, NBCC funded, mental health counseling program giving therapy access to a hundred, rural school children. Sara also has developed and hosted a community connect group which gives a safe meeting space to those who are isolated and need connection to thrive. Most recently she has co-facilitated The Unfolding trauma retreats which focus on whole body healing, parts exploration, and creative expression as a safe way to “tune in” to the wounds of trauma as well as internal motivation.
To continue on her mission, Sara offers internship oversight, clinical supervision, and eventually EMDR consult groups to help budding, trauma focused practitioners build their private practice dreams in rural Montana
