Hyon Bachman, LPC, EMDR Therapist, BraveWithin Counseling

Are you feeling worn down by a mind that won’t slow down—racing thoughts, replaying conversations, or emotions that keep pulling you back into anxiety, sadness, or anger? You may function well on the outside, yet inside feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to change what keeps repeating. Therapy with me focuses on understanding—not fixing—so real change can begin from the inside out. We slow things down and look at what’s happening beneath the surface: how your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system are responding, and how old patterns may still be shaping your present. From there, we work toward practical shifts—helping you respond differently, feel more grounded, and regain a sense of steadiness in your daily life. I am the founder of Brave Within Counseling, a group practice built on trauma-informed, compassionate care. Our team is made up of clinicians with their own areas of focus, including trauma and EMDR therapy, ADHD, sleep-related concerns, and specific diagnoses and symptom patterns. Most of our counselors are EMDR-trained, allowing us to offer depth-oriented trauma work alongside practical, skills-based support. When you reach out, we take care to match you with a counselor whose specialty best fits what you’re going through. Whether you work directly with me or with one of our clinicians, you can expect care that is thoughtful, collaborative, and paced with respect for your readiness. At Brave Within Counseling, we focus on helping you understand yourself more clearly, reduce internal struggle, and move forward with greater confidence and emotional steadiness. If you’re ready to feel less stuck and more supported, we’d be honored to walk with you.

Brave Within Counseling is a trauma-informed group practice for people who feel unsure, overwhelmed, or hesitant about starting therapy. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear plan—we’ll help you take it one step at a time. Our team includes counselors with different areas of focus, including trauma and EMDR therapy, ADHD, sleep concerns, anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation. Many of our clinicians are EMDR-trained. I’m a certified EMDR therapist through the EMDR Trauma Institute and Child Trauma Institute, and that trauma-informed approach guides how we care for clients across the practice. Each counselor brings their own style, but we share the same intention: to offer therapy that feels steady, respectful, and paced around what you’re ready for. There’s no pressure to open up faster than feels safe. Reaching out doesn’t mean committing to everything. It means starting with a real therapy session—not a consultation—focused on what’s bringing you in and how we can support you moving forward. We also offer occasional groups and workshops, and faith-integrated counseling when that’s meaningful to you. However you come, you’re welcome here.

You keep thinking about reaching out? and then you don?t. Part of you wants support. Another part isn?t sure you?re ready to open that door. Maybe you tell yourself it?s not ?bad enough.? Maybe you?re tired of explaining. Maybe you?re afraid nothing will really change. If any of this feels familiar, you?re not alone. When you?re ready to take the next step?at your pace, in your own way?connect with us at Brave Within Counseling. We?re here to help you figure out what comes next.
