Mark Read-Smith

Expressive Arts Therapist and Bodyworker

I am an expressive arts counselor and bodyworker helping individuals and families resolve trauma through expressive therapies and somatic practices. I combine the delivery of SE with expressive arts and the Safe and Sound Protocol. I support others in developing practices for nervous system regulation.

I have enjoyed assisting faculty at SE trainings in Asheville, Chapel Hill, Durham, Scottsdale, Chicago, Auckland, NZ, Melbourne and Sydney, Australia from beginning year through advanced year.  I am currently assisting Debra Clydesdale's online cohort that is just beginning in 2025.

For SE students, I am an approved Session Provider, Individual Case Consultation Provider, and Small Group Case Consultation Provider at all levels.  I can provide these services for SE students in-person or online.
