Somatic Therapy

Our therapists are trained in a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities and often utilize an integrative approach, tailoring interventions to the individual needs of each client. If you are interested in a specific approach or feel one may be particularly suited to you, our therapists honor those preferences and work collaboratively to find the best fit.


We encourage you to reach out and book a complimentary 15-minute consultation to learn more about how we can support you.

What it involves:

Somatic Therapy is a holistic approach that integrates body awareness into the therapeutic process, recognizing the deep connection between mind and body. It is based on the understanding that emotional experiences are not only stored in the mind but also in the body through sensations, posture, and tension patterns. In therapy, clients learn to notice physical sensations, regulate their nervous system, and release stress or trauma held in the body. Techniques may include breath work, gentle movement, grounding exercises, and mindfulness to help restore a sense of safety, presence, and connection within the body.

Who it may benefit:

Somatic Therapy can help individuals who have experienced trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, dissociation, or physical symptoms related to emotional distress. It can also support those who feel disconnected from their bodies or find traditional talk therapy less effective in addressing deeply rooted emotional experiences. This approach is ideal for clients who want to heal through a deeper connection to their body, build nervous system awareness, and cultivate a greater sense of calm, safety, and balance.
