Tarotpy: It's All in the Cards

Created and developed by psychotherapist Lauren Schneider, Tarotpy is a unique, pioneering method of using the symbolic language of tarot, dream, soul, and other image cards to literally lay the unconscious on the table. Like a waking dream, Tarotpy works as an interactive process to go beyond the 'aha' of traditional therapies and provide an awe-inspiring experience, awakening greater awareness and choices.

Tarotpy opens the door to inner wisdom, beyond the boundaries of our limited perceptions, beyond the interpretations written in guidebooks, and articulated by traditional tarot readers. 

You do not have to be spiritual or religious to reap the illuminating benefits of Tarotpy.

The profound evocation and resonance with the artistic details of the cards is the conscious awakening to the unconscious of what it truly needs to heal and evolve. The cards act as a tangible, palpable witness to your hidden wounds and your deepest desires.

These sessions can be done via Zoom or in person.

Intensive Trauma Healing Program

For those of you who are beginning to embark on the journey of healing from past traumatic experiences and Complex PTSD, please understand that CBT and talk therapy are not sufficient modalities for healing trauma. This is because CBT and talk therapy only access the prefrontal cortex of our brains, but when trauma happens to us, it happens on a sensory level, so the healing has to take place on a sensory level. 

These half-day (up to 3 hours) healing sessions can be extremely effective. By utilizing a combination of Ego State Therapy, EMDR, Imaginal Nurturing, Somatic Psychology, and Guided Meditation & Visualization, a lot of therapeutic ground can be covered without the disruption of daily stressors. The intensive format cuts treatment time in half because of time not spent on checking in at the beginning of each session, addressing current stressors and concerns, focusing on stabilizing & coping skills that clients most likely won’t need after trauma healing, or assisting clients in regaining composure at the end of the session.

Because we're not just talking about your trauma wounds, you will achieve your therapeutic goals faster than the more conventional method of weekly talk therapy. Also, this approach is ideal for folks who live too far to attend weekly sessions. These sessions are typically scheduled Monday - Friday.

*A free 20 minute phone/zoom consultation is available for new clients.

*This program is available in person to any WA state resident.

*If you'd like to receive reimbursement from your insurance provider, Sacred Healing Place can provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance company directly.

Weekly Healing

If the Intensive Trauma Healing Program seems too potent for you, but you're still interested in experiencing deep & profound healing, we are happy to accommodate you! These sessions follow the more conventional schedule of therapy - weekly or bi-weekly. Sessions are 90 minutes. Therapeutic modalities such as EMDR, Ego State Therapy, Somatic Psychology, Tarotpy, Imaginal Nurturing & Guided Meditation will be utilized (as they are in the Intensive Trauma Healing Program), but in a more succinct manner. We work more with recent/current triggers and trauma responses/reactions.

*If you have Premera Blue Cross of WA, Aetna, or Providence insurance, you can use your insurance to cover the cost of weekly therapy. Sessions are 60 minutes and facilitated virtually via Headway.com's platform. Click here to access my profile on Headway.

*These sessions are available in person or virtually online to any WA resident.

Psychedelic Integration

Integration therapy provides a structured framework to process and apply the insights gained during a psychedelic experience. Without this support, the emotional or spiritual breakthroughs achieved during a session often fade or feel disconnected from daily life. While these experiences can be deeply transformative, maintaining the resulting clarity and perspective shifts can be challenging on your own. Integration therapy bridges that gap, helping you translate profound insights into lasting, tangible change. These sessions DO NOT include use of any psychedelics. 

Tools used in integration sessions:

Reflective Dialogue with Parts: This is a guided conversation with the various parts of self to understand how each part experienced the psychedelic journey. Sometimes tarot and oracle cards can help clarify these experiences.

EMDR Therapy: Used to help release any residual energy that may still be keeping you blocked from integrating the psychedelic healing experience.

Somatic Techniques: Body-based practices like qigong, somatic experiencing, bilateral stimulation, or breath work can aid in helping you to embody the integration session, so it is easily accessible in daily life.

*These sessions do not include use of any psychedelics.

*These sessions are available in person or virtually online to any WA resident.

*If you'd like to receive reimbursement from your insurance provider, Sacred Healing Place can provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance company directly.

heARTful Tarotpy + Broken Bowl Workshops

heARTful Tarotpy 

workshops offer an inviting, creative space to explore your inner wisdom using tarot imagery and expressive art. Instead of rigid interpretations, you will use the cards as visual mirrors to spark personal insights, followed by collage, painting, or journaling to anchor those discoveries. It is a playful, supportive process designed to unlock your intuition and connect with your authentic self.

Broken Bowl

workshops offer a gentle & kind space to transform personal pain into a beautiful work of art. Inspired by the Japanese tradition of kintsugi, you will intentionally break, decorate, and reassemble a ceramic bowl. This hands-on process serves as a powerful, comforting metaphor for healing, resilience, and celebrating your unique life story.

These workshops are held in a lovely home studio in the north end of Tacoma, WA.
