About Therapy
You’ve spent a lifetime performing “fine.”
You know the script – smile at the gala, hold it together at work, manage the calendar, keep secrets no one ever named.
On the outside, you look accomplished. Inside, you’re tired. Parts of you are hyper-vigilant, perfectionistic, and people-pleasing. Other parts want to grab the keys, drive to the coast, and not answer a single text.
Maybe you grew up in a world where image mattered more than truth, such as polished faith, families, and pain. You learned to survive by being exceptional, but now that strategy is wearing thin.
Anxiety hums at 3 a.m. Your body keeps the score: migraines, stomach flare-ups, freeze responses you can’t talk yourself out of. You’re not broken. You adapted.
Here’s what therapy feels like with me.
We go slow and we go kind. Session by session, we build a relationship so that your nervous system can finally exhale.
We’ll map your inner world – your “parts”– with respect and consent, no forced confessions, and no ripping off scabs. We will practice making choices at every step because your voice counts.
When it fits your system, I use EMDR that’s paced for complex trauma and dissociation. We prepare thoroughly, work in short, titrated sets, and return to present-day safety as often as needed. Between sessions, you’ll have doable practices that help you heal and live a life of purpose you choose.
After a few sessions, changes will appear.
You will notice:
- More space between trigger and reaction.
- Less shame about how you coped.
- Clearer boundaries with family, faith communities, and work.
- A steadier connection with younger parts who’ve carried too much for too long.
- Relief in your body that allows your breath to go down.
I have some particular specialties.
One of my specialties is working with adults who were groomed to be perfect: high-achievers, eldest daughters, queer folks in conservative spaces, people carrying religious trauma, survivors of childhood sexual abuse, and complex, ongoing harm.
For those trying to navigate DID or significant dissociation, you’re in the right place. If you’ve tried therapy before and felt pathologized or rushed, this will be different.
My approach is trauma-competent more than trauma-informed, always offering safety, consent, pacing, and collaboration first.
What are we really doing here?
We’re not erasing parts of you; we are creating an internal, holistic team.
We are not asking, “What’s wrong with you?” We ask, “What wisdom did your mind use to allow you to survive and live a constructive present today?”
Together, we’ll help you move from managing a crisis to crafting a life that feels congruent, creative, and yours.
About Sibley Fleming, LPC, NCC
Why do I do this work?
Healing accelerates when clients are treated as whole, resourceful humans – never as diagnoses. My job is to listen closely, move at your system’s pace, and help you reclaim choice in places life once removed it.
I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC, NCC) and the founder of Chosen Path Therapy in Georgia. I specialize in complex trauma, dissociation (including DID), systemic abuse, and religious trauma.
My clinical roots are in EMDR, parts work, and experiential therapies that honor the body and the stories it holds.
My training and approach include the following.
For complex trauma and dissociation, I specialize in employing EMDR.
I use parts-oriented therapy that welcomes all ages, roles, and strategies inside the miraculous system created by your mind to navigate your body through a world that no one else could have survived.
Attachment- and body-aware practices can help clients establish real-life regulation.
I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally humble, and provide consent-forward care.
When I’m not in session,
you’ll find me writing, painting, playing the piano, building creative tools for trauma survivors, and championing the idea that communities heal when survivors are believed, resourced, and free to lead.
If you’re ready to trade performance for presence and pressure for permission, let’s talk. Your path is yours to choose. Your voice is choice.
