Hello!
Hi there! I’m Ina Lasmane, MA, LMFT, and I bring 22 years of experience helping adults impacted by trauma reclaim their lives through innovative somatic therapies and therapeutic art. My specialties include EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Brainspotting, and parts work, combined with spiritual resourcing. With multiple certifications and an unending passion for learning, I’m here to support you on your healing journey with expertise and compassion.
As both a therapist and an artist, I maintain an active abstract painting practice. My academic background spans counseling and psychological services, art therapy, fine arts, and graphic design. I’ve worked extensively with therapists, nurses, healthcare professionals, and first responders who face vicarious traumatization and professional burnout. Healing the healer is my mission, as I understand firsthand the phases of professional burnout and the journey to revitalization.

Trauma can leave your emotions in turmoil—irritation, overwhelm, hypervigilance, and numbness are common. Emotional triggers can make you feel like you’re on a rollercoaster. It’s crucial to learn how to identify, feel, and release these trapped emotions. Negative feelings like anger, sorrow, and despair can be hard to confront, and it’s tempting to numb them with food, alcohol, or distractions. However, these emotions are valuable guides, pointing out what needs attention and change.
Your emotions are directly linked to your overall health. By accepting and working through them, you can greatly enhance your emotional and physical well-being. In addition to effective therapies like EMDR, ART, and Brainspotting, I offer therapeutic art to help you loosen up, have fun, and find more joy in life. Art provides lifelong techniques for managing your feelings, while EMDR, ART, and Brainspotting tackle the trauma at its core.
Discover the transformative power of my Paint Your Feelings and Paint from Your Soul™ programs—no prior art experience is needed, but if you have some, that’s fantastic too!
