What Is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy, also known as body-centered therapy, is a type of mind-body treatment. It focuses on how emotions and stress show up as physical sensations in the body. By noticing and releasing this tension, you can find relief and begin to feel more balanced.

Our approach includes:

  • Body-Centered Therapy to release tension.

  • Somatic Experiencing for trauma recovery.

  • Mind-Body Techniques that promote calm and well-being.

How Does Somatic Therapy Work?

Your therapist will be with you every step of the way, creating a safe space where your body and mind can finally work together toward healing. In somatic therapy, you will be guided to notice what you feel in your body. This might include tightness, restlessness, or other sensations.

Together, you will explore these signals at your own pace in a supportive way. As you learn to connect with your body, you can release emotions and stress that have been held inside. This process helps:

  • Reduce anxiety

  • Improve emotional regulation

  • Build resilience

  • Create a stronger sense of peace
