Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Somatic psychotherapy is a holistic approach that blends traditional talk therapy with body-focused techniques. It helps clients recognize and release physical tension, stress, and emotional blocks that may be stored in the body. This method can be especially effective for people experiencing anxiety, trauma, or chronic stress, supporting healing on both a mental and physical level.

  • Somatic Experiencing is a specialized form of trauma therapy designed to gently resolve the effects of stress and trauma on the nervous system. Instead of rehashing traumatic memories, this approach focuses on building awareness of physical sensations to release stored trauma safely. It can help reduce symptoms such as anxiety, hypervigilance, and feeling “stuck” after distressing events.

Clients often experience relief from long-held emotional pain and greater resilience moving forward.
