Anxiety Therapy & Coaching for Lasting Change
Don't just cope. Make a change.
You know exactly what you should do and yet you still find yourself stuck in the same patterns. Anxiety. Overthinking. Self-doubt. Avoidance. The feeling that you're capable of more, but something keeps getting in the way.
At Soule Therapy, we believe lasting change starts with understanding what's underneath those patterns, not simply learning how to manage them better.
Most of our clients are thoughtful, capable people who have already tried to manage what they're experiencing. You've learned tools. You've challenged yourself. You've pushed through things that felt difficult. And sometimes, those things help.
But managing a pattern isn't always the same as changing it.
You may still find yourself having the same emotional reactions, getting caught in the same thought patterns, or holding yourself back in ways you don't fully understand.
What you really want is to feel calm, confident, grounded, and present. You want to stop spending so much energy managing your responses and start feeling more free to live your life. You want to be able to do the things you know you're capable of doing without anxiety, self-doubt, or old patterns continually getting in the way.
At the core, you want to feel like yourself again. Or maybe even more fully yourself than before.
You want to trust yourself. Be present for the people and experiences that matter to you. Move toward what you actually want instead of constantly working around what you're afraid might happen.
That's the kind of change we're here to help you make.

Our Approach: Getting to the Root
We don't just want to help you manage the pattern. We want to help you change it and move forward without having to fight yourself every step of the way.
At Soule Therapy, Kathryn and Charles Soule share a belief that lasting change begins with getting curious about what's underneath the reaction.
Anxiety, self-doubt, avoidance, overthinking, and other patterns usually developed for a reason. At some point, they helped you navigate something that felt difficult, threatening, overwhelming, or uncertain. Your brain learned a way to protect you.
The problem is that those old protective patterns can keep showing up long after the original circumstances have changed.
That's why you can know, logically, that you're safe and still feel anxious. You can know logically that you're capable and still doubt yourself. You can understand that something isn't a big deal and still have the same automatic reaction.
So how do we actually change the automatic reaction?
This is where neuroscience comes in.
Memory reconsolidation is a neural process that allows previously learned emotional responses and predictions to be updated when the brain encounters new experiences that don't fit the old pattern.
We use this understanding of how the brain updates and rewires old patterns to help uncover the experiences and emotional learnings underneath the patterns you want to change. Then we create the conditions for these patterns to be updated.
Instead of spending your life managing the same reaction, we want to understand why it keeps happening in the first place. What was your brain trying to protect you from? What did your brain learn about what to expect in certain situations, or what to expect from other people? And what would become possible if those old, outdated predictions no longer felt true?
Our goal isn't to put a better band-aid on an old problem. It's to help you change the underlying pattern so you can respond to your life from where you are now, rather than automatically reacting from what you learned then.
Kathryn and Charles share this root-focused philosophy, but their work takes different forms.
Kathryn's psychotherapy incorporates IFS, EMDR, and an understanding of memory reconsolidation to help clients work with deeper emotional patterns and create lasting change.
Charles's coaching brings the same root-focused perspective to IFS-informed work, helping clients understand and change patterns that affect their confidence, overthinking, and performance.

Meet the Soules
We're Kathryn and Charles Soule, the founders of Soule Therapy. We're also a husband-and-wife team who made a major life change together. We moved from Texas to Paris and built a new life while continuing to do work we care deeply about.
Living abroad has given us an even deeper appreciation for how much change can stir up. A new environment can challenge your sense of identity, bring unexpected anxiety to the surface, and make you rethink what you thought you knew about yourself.
Our is work is about helping you be the person you want to be. Our goal isn't to help you simply get through a difficult period or manage your way around what's uncomfortable.
We want to help you move from surviving to actually living.
