Hi, Welcome

I’m Courtney Fincher. I spend my days supporting curious humans to feel more safe and seen — for being exactly who they are.

If you’re not waking up most mornings feeling at home with yourself, let’s find out why — and get you there with a gentle curiosity.

I work with clients one-on-one through Somatic Attachment Sessions, where we discover together when you have and have not felt safe, so that we can refresh your relationship with yourself (and your loved ones), and unpeel the layers to reveal a more free and present version of who you already are.

ABOUT COURTNEY

I’m deeply interested in how life experience shapes both mind and body.

My background spans psychology, education, and child development, and my early career as Director of Early Education at a progressive Integral school grew into a focus on training parents and educators, work that naturally led me to Somatic Experiencing.

I’ve been in private practice as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) since 2021. I regularly assist Somatic Experiencing International (SEI) faculty and serve as the lead assistant for the Asheville cohort.

I’m also certified in Diane Poole Heller’s DARe (Dynamic Attachment Repatterning Experience) and frequently assist in DARe trainings. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and attachment-focused, supporting the nervous system’s capacity to heal and create lasting change.

Somatic attachment work found me the way I’ve seen it find so many of my peers — from a long history of studying and doing my own healing work. I have direct experience with healing my own early attachment wounds and releasing trauma from my nervous system from times of overwhelm.

Lifelong education


I’m always learning something new in the somatic realm through studies with renowned educators, scientists, and thought leaders, including Dr. Dan Siegal and Dr. Peter Levine.

A few others I’ve studied with include Richard Schwartz, Bessel van der Kolk, Jack Saul, Ariel Schwartz, and Luis Mojica.

She has an incredibly broad scope of knowledge and varied experiences to draw from, and she fosters a team spirit in such a way that your work together will always feel collaborative.”

  • “Courtney's warm and safe presence allows me to be vulnerable without fear of judgment. She pays close attention to the subtle clues my body communicates (even via zoom!) and brings them to my awareness with gentle curiosity. My favorite part about working with Courtney is that she is flexible and capable of shifting gears based on my needs. She has helped me feel genuinely seen and heard through a very difficult time in my life.”

I believe feeling safe and seen — as 100% yourself — is within reach for you.
