Clancey Cornell

My approach is somatic, relational, and attachment-based. I come to this work with a background in advocacy and years of experience across diverse settings—from inpatient psychiatric treatment to psychological integration of plant-medicine experiences. These experiences shaped the way I understand people and allow me to meet clients from all walks of life with depth, respect, and an open mind. In therapy, I focus on helping you reconnect with your body’s natural intelligence and capacity to heal. Somatic psychotherapy recognizes the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit. Our bodies carry the imprints of our life experiences, and when stress or trauma becomes overwhelming, it can feel hard to stay present or safe within ourselves. In our sessions, we slow down and work gently. We often begin with a mindful arrival and then follow what naturally arises—sensations, images, emotions, impulses, and beliefs—as pathways toward clarity and integration. The goal is not to “fix” you, but to support you in building awareness, resilience, and a more grounded connection to yourself. My work is rooted in Somatic Experiencing® (SE), a body-based trauma modality that helps the nervous system complete and resolve patterns of overwhelm without re-traumatizing. Together, we’ll discover the practices and tools that best support your growth, helping you move toward greater regulation, vitality, and well-being. I also bring an existential lens to therapy, supporting clients as they explore meaning, choice, and the deeper questions that arise during times of transition, healing, or self-discovery.
