About the practice
A practice rooted in presence
Eventide Therapy is a solo practice. Dr. Bellamy opened it for adults who find themselves between one chapter and the next: after a loss, a move, a change at work or at home.
Her training draws on psychodynamic, somatic and contemplative approaches. Sessions are mostly conversation, with attention to what happens in the body when something important comes up.
Eventide is named for the hour between day and night, when the light changes and the day's noise falls away. It is a good hour for thinking out loud.
Our Approach
How we hold the work
A session is a conversation between two people. These are the three things Dr. Bellamy brings to it.
Attention to the body
We notice where a feeling shows up in the body and use slow breathing to stay with it. This is a way of paying attention, not a medical treatment.
The relationship itself
What happens between you and your therapist is part of the work. The room is meant to be one where you can say what is true without being judged.
Methods chosen with you
Dr. Bellamy draws on psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems, and explains each before using it.
