Sara Tinker, LCSW

Sara Tinker, LCSW

Psychotherapist
TN
Sara Jane Tinker, LCSW, Somatic Experiencing® is seasoned licensed clinical psychotherapist who specializes in complex trauma, PTSD, acute trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, couples communication and infidelity with 30 years' experience in behavioral health and substance use offering trusted, confidential, personalized, and effective evidenced based interventions. An interesting mix of professional training, skills and life experience adds a unique richness to what I offer clients. Crossroads experiences in my young adulthood got me onto a path of self-discovery that led to my present career, which I love and consider my true passion. In 2023 I completed the Certification for Somatic Experiencing International. In the 1980’s my love for an active lifestyle and the mind-body-spirit connection led me to a graduate degree in Exercise Physiology & Wellness, with a research focus and thesis: Aerobic Fitness & Stress Perception. I studied Yoga & Meditation at Pennsylvania Himalayan Institute, later traveling & studying in India and Nepal. My graduate training at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville included stints at a clinic for victims of sexual abuse, community mental health, and later after working in acute adolescent psychiatric/A & D and in-home adolescent/child & family treatment, I opened a private practice in 1992. I obtained training in my foundational lens, Object Relations theory, which emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation of healing, both in graduate school and with The Washington School of Psychiatry. It would be an honor to assist you in meeting your personal growth goals. Brightside Health is a fully online mental health practice providing life-changing care for anxiety, depression, and related conditions through personalized Psychiatry and Therapy services available to all 50 states.
