Welcome to Layers Counseling. I’m Katie Beddingfield, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Social Worker with experience since 2013 across diverse populations and levels of care. My specialties include trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, pain, and addiction. I am trained in EMDR (levels 1 and 2) and am completing Somatic Experiencing certification (2024–2026). Somatic Experiencing helps clients release stored trauma, regulate the nervous system, and respond to life with greater clarity and resilience. Layers Counseling focuses on helping clients peel back the layers that distance them from their authentic selves. Using a Family Systems approach, I consider the full relational and contextual picture, exploring experiences, dynamics, attachment, coping patterns, strengths, and challenges. My mission is to help people live more authentically in both mind and body.
