At our practice, we approach the treatment of trauma with a deep understanding of its profound impact on both mind and body. We recognize that true healing involves the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. Our therapy sessions are more than just conversations; they are a journey into the somatic realm where we believe much of trauma resides. Our practice is grounded in the belief that to truly heal from trauma, one must engage with the body, where unspoken memories and emotions often linger.

Trauma: Beyond the Mind’s Surface

Trauma, while manifesting through emotional and psychological symptoms, often has deep roots in the body. This understanding is pivotal in our therapeutic approach. Individuals who experience trauma might find themselves grappling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and a range of physical symptoms. Our holistic view of trauma acknowledges these manifestations and seeks to address them through a somatic lens.

​

A Somatic Lens for Healing

In our treatment of trauma, we focus on the somatic – or bodily – aspects of the experience. We recognize that the body often holds onto traumatic memories and emotions, sometimes long after the mind has attempted to move on. Our therapy sessions involve techniques and practices that encourage awareness and release of these bodily-held traumas.

​

Integrative Methods Tailored to You

Our practice employs a variety of therapeutic modalities, each chosen and tailored to best suit the individual needs of our clients. From mindfulness-based practices to holistic approaches, we offer a wide range of methods to help our clients engage with and heal from their trauma. This integration of multiple therapies allows us to provide care that is as unique as the experiences of those we work with.

​

Empowerment Through Body Awareness

A core element of our approach is helping clients develop a deeper connection and awareness of their bodies. This awareness is a powerful tool, allowing individuals to identify and gently release the physical manifestations of trauma. Our goal is to empower clients, helping them reclaim their bodies as safe and healing spaces.

​

Supportive and Safe Therapeutic Environment

We understand the importance of a safe and supportive environment in trauma therapy. Our practice is dedicated to providing a space where individuals feel heard, seen, and understood – a space where the healing process can truly begin. The therapeutic relationship itself is a critical component of our approach, offering a foundation of trust and empathy.
