Searcy is an EMDRIA certified EMDR Trauma Therapist and the founder of a private practice in Downtown Phoenix called A Desert In Bloom Therapy. She specializes in EMDR, somatic therapy and parts work, offering expertise in childhood trauma, complex PTSD, eating disorders, domestic violence, painful relationship patterns and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Searcy works primarily with women, and her efforts aren\u2019t just about symptom management, but true freedom and healing at the nervous system level.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI see you in your complexity and it doesn\u2019t make me flinch. I will meet you where you are, but I won\u2019t leave you there. I will sit with you in the present, until your nervous system learns it is safe enough to stay. Until you can live in the truth of your life AS IT IS in the present, without the past hijacking the moment,\u201d Searcy said. \u201cThen, I\u2019ll lace up my boots, grab a couple of shovels, and get in the trenches with you. I know the way through.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Searcy created her practice to be a place where healing isn\u2019t rushed, truth is honored, and freedom is not just possible but inevitable. Before she was a therapist, she was a professional singer-songwriter in Los Angeles for over a decade \u2013 an experience that shaped everything she does now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI bring the same depth, creativity, and soul into the room that I have always poured into my music. Music shaped me, trauma remade me, and now I help other women reclaim their own voice, one neural pathway at a time. I still believe that healing is an art form,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AZF: What is your \u201clife motto\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Show up honestly, do your deep work, and stay rooted in the truth that lives and flows from your artist heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AZF: Did you always know that you wanted to be an entrepreneur? If not, when did you realize that it was the right path right for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not at all. I came to this work through fire \u2013 personal trauma, medical crises, and a winding path through music, advocacy, and healing. Becoming a therapist was a calling; becoming an entrepreneur was a reclamation. I realized that to truly serve others the way I was meant to, I needed to create my own container for that work. Opening my own private practice gave me that sovereignty.           <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AZF: How do you feel best supported?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel most supported by people who are present, thoughtful and attuned. The ones who show up with depth, humor, and care. I want truth, tenderness and soul. I give so much of my heart to this world, and I feel most alive when the soul-fire I bring connects with another artist heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AZF: What motivates you to keep going amidst the challenges that come with being an entrepreneur?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clients I work with. So many of them have been misunderstood, misdiagnosed, dismissed, or left feeling like they are \u201ctoo much.\u201d I know that terrain intimately. And deep in my bones, I know that healing and freedom are possible because I\u2019ve lived it. I stay connected to my own creative practices: music, movement, cooking, and the things that bring me back to myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rick Rubin says, \u201cLiving life as an artist is a practice\u2026 the real work of the artist is a way of being in the world.\u201d That\u2019s how I see this work. This isn\u2019t just a business, and being a therapist isn\u2019t just a job. It\u2019s a creative practice I\u2019m constantly refining. This work is my purpose. I get to sing my heart song every day now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

AZF: Describe your perfect Saturday morning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No alarm clock, just waking up when I\u2019m ready. I make my coffee with all the good stuff: blackstrap molasses, coconut oil, cinnamon. Then I head to Sprouts for a solo grocery run because I love picking out ingredients and planning what I want to cook. I do some fascia face rolling over Zoom with my sister goddess Scar and have a soul chat with Katie while I move around the house. My two best friends live in LA, and I can\u2019t be connected to my heart without spending time with them through Zoom or a phone call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I cook something delicious from scratch with Queens of the Stone Age blasting in the background. My husband picks up his guitar while things are simmering (he\u2019s a killer guitarist), and we have a jam session. He plays; I sing. Our three puppies Ziggy Stardust, Poppy Zeppelin and Snappy are underfoot, begging for treats and administering the oxytocin to complete the vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AZF: What\u2019s one piece of advice you\u2019d give to a young entrepreneur who is just starting out?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can start over. You can pivot. You can build something meaningful in your own time. Just make sure it\u2019s true. Do the inner work. That\u2019s what makes your success sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 I\u2019m living proof that you can begin again in your late 30s and still create something powerful and purposeful. I started over so many times. It took me 13 years to finish college and another six to land on my purpose. You couldn\u2019t have told the 20, 30, or even 40-year-old version of me where I\u2019d end up. I had to live it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had to keep choosing what was right for me. Sometimes the outcomes weren\u2019t what I hoped for, but because I honored myself in the decisions, I stayed on course. Every step was part of becoming who I am. And when it comes to guidance and healing, be discerning. There\u2019s a big difference between being inspired by someone and letting them guide your healing or influence your most important decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It matters who you trust with your story. Complex inner work requires someone who can hold your complexity without projecting their own. A good licensed therapist brings neutrality, containment, and clinical skill. In that space, you form and plant your roots and healing takes hold. Friends, mentors and trusted voices become the sunlight, the nourishment in the soil, and the perfect measure of water. This is how even the most fiercely self-protected cactus blooms with the most radiant, unexpected flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AZF: What excites you most about being an entrepreneur?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The freedom to build something that reflects who I am. I never wanted to fit the mold of a traditional therapist. I refuse to work in systems that pathologize women, stifle client care and therapist wellbeing, or dictate my clients\u2019 treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entrepreneurship allows me to serve people in a way that\u2019s aligned with my values, with real presence, no insurance interference, and deep respect for each person\u2019s process. I get to create a practice that honors both the science of trauma recovery and the art of being human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
