Meet the Team at BA Healing
Tanory Ateek, MSW, LMSW (she/they):
Are you looking for more ease, well-being, and positive transformation in your life? Do you wish you could get out of your head and feel more awake and alive to your present day experience? Do you want to feel more freedom, pleasure and joy in your life and relationships? Let’s talk.
Do you have past traumas, and want to work with a therapist who uses techniques that do not retraumatize or require extensive talking about the trauma?
Are you caught in work, family, relational, or societal dynamics that you’d like to be free from?
Are you looking for a therapist who considers the multiple layers of your life - community, cultural and systemic factors affecting health and well-being?
Tanory's approach to therapy is a mix of the most solid evidence based practices in Western Psychology, as well as practices learned during ten years as a yoga/meditation teacher and body worker. As a therapist, she comes alongside you, with a non-judgmental and curious presence, to help YOU discern your OWN unique way of healing and growth into the person you already are, and works together to set goals that work for you, to create the life you want.
Tanory is LGBTQ+ and Polyamory Friendly. She values and works to embody an anti-racist and liberatory framework using harm reduction approaches.
Tanory earned a masters degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland. She has worked with children, adolescents and adults in community outpatient settings and has been a yoga instructor for 10 years. She’s currently training in Somatic Experiencing, a Three Year training program for healing trauma held in the body which was founded by Peter Levine.
Tanory is supervised by practice owner Laura Reagan, LCSW-C, and is currently accepting new adult clients for virtual and in person sessions.
Emily Francis, MS, LCPC (she/her)
Attachment Focused-EMDR, DBT Therapist & Parent Coach:
Do you struggle with intense emotions including anger, sadness, or shame? Feelings of chronic emptiness, numbness, or existential dread? Do you struggle with impulses or destructive behavior? Feeling out of sync with others or the world?
Trauma from childhood attachment wounds, abuse and neglect, chronic invalidation, and loss can become stored in our bodies and encoded in our way of viewing the world and ourselves. This can then manifest in difficult to understand intense emotional states, numbness, or destructive behaviors. We can carry shame around these experiences, yet often any of our present struggles can best be understood as adaptations to trauma or loss that helped us survive.
In working with trauma, Emily relies on Attachment-Focused EMDR, parts work, attachment theory, and relational psychotherapy to help clients access, reprocess, and integrate trauma memories and states as well as develop and increase their access to inner resources and adaptive information.
Emily has a particular interest in working with adults and teens with attachment wounds, those who have suffered from religious, spiritual, or narcissistic abuse and survivors of cults or high demand groups.
She helps parents of kids of all ages on accepting themselves and their kids as they are and building a life that works, using Ross Greene's Collaborative and Proactive Solutions Model and integrate attachment theory, DBT mindfulness, and radical acceptance skills as well as EMDR and Brainspotting as needed.
Emily earned her masters degree in Pastoral Counseling (spiritually-integrative Clinical Mental Health Counseling) from Loyola University in Maryland. She has worked with teens and adults in psychiatric in-patient settings, military installations, community mental health, and private practice. She has experience providing comprehensive DBT as well as Attachment-Focused EMDR to support adults and teens struggling with self-harm and behavioral addictions. She is an EMDRIA EMDR Certified Therapist.
Emily is currently accepting new teen and adult clients for virtual and in person sessions.
