Lindsay Weiner - Somatic Therapy

Lindsey Weiner, LMSW

  • My name is Lindsey and I believe it is my job to create a safe and supportive environment for you to show up exactly as you are. I have received advanced training in a variety of body-centered and nervous system based modalities including Hakomi Mindfulness Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing (SE),

    I am also trained in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Psychedelic Integration and Harm Reduction and offer these services through www.elument.com. My therapeutic style is attuned, compassionate, honest, and at times, playful!

    I honor your resilience, will sit with you in your darkness and will celebrate hope and liberation with you. I will show up with you as my full self- a fellow human on this journey together as we navigate whatever arises. My own journey of somatic and psychedelic healing has shaped my life in profound and immeasurable ways and it is an honor to support others on this path.

  • Together we will learn how to bring awareness and compassion to present experience so that you can walk on your own unique path towards healing and wholeness. As a therapist and space holder, I integrate experiential, somatic, earth wisdom and mindfulness based approaches to help you reconnect to your inner wisdom and transform core beliefs and patterns.  I am honored to offer support for individuals wanting to engage in this deep and transformative work. 

  • We believe there is a place of deep inner wisdom and intelligence in everyone. Our goal is to help support your connection to your own inner guide, teacher, and compassionate presence as you cultivate the most important relationship you have – the one with you! 

    We offer ongoing therapy for clients as well as psychedelic therapy services, including ketamine therapy through the Nashville Psychedelic Center. We are happy to offer a free 20 minute call so we can learn more about you and to see if we might be a good fit.

Robert DeSalvo - Somatic Therapy

Robert DeSalvo, LCSW

  • Thanks for coming to the Somatic Therapy Nashville website. To tell you a bit about myself, I have over a decade of psychedelic experience with a wide variety of medicines. I was the first person in TN to be trained to provide MDMA Assisted Psychotherapy (coming 2023) and have been pioneering the medicinal use of psychedelics in Middle Tennessee. Along with this, I have 15 years of experience as a psychotherapist where I work with a wide variety of issues including helping with the anxiety and depression caused by past trauma or rough childhoods, men’s issues, and secular counseling. Generally, I help my clients feel more at peace with themselves and others, more fulfilled and wholesome in relationships, and increased confidence and zest for life.
