What if connecting to your body helps heal your mind?
In regular talk therapy, you might focus on your thoughts, emotions and past experiences. You gain insight and process deep feelings mostly through verbal communication.
Somatic therapy is different. Instead of words, the focus is on physical sensations, movement, stillness, and simple breathwork. It recognizes that feelings and trauma are stored in the body, not just the mind. It helps by fostering a felt sense of the present moment. It focuses on the body’s experience as a means of profound healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

We can accept HSA/ FSA, debit, credit and checks. We are not using insurance for groups.
-
Depending on where you are in your healing process, this group might not be a good fit for you if you are inclined towards certain types of self-harm or suicidal ideation when feeling emotionally activated. If you experience internal stimuli such as voices or hallucinations, this group won’t be a good fit. If you struggle to notice others’ emotional experience or group dynamics, individual therapy might be a better fit.
-
Ideally, you would be able to commit to the six scheduled dates. We understand that things come up. You will not be refunded for missed sessions.

This is a personal decision. Some people are interested in spacing out (i.e., going from weekly to biweekly) individual therapy while participating in the group. Some people want to continue to do both. Some people take a pause of their individual sessions altogether while attending group.
