Somatic Psychology Services

Somatic Psychology Services provides a variety of therapeutic tools to enhance your personal and professional life. As a client of this practice, you are able to tailor the services to meet your individual goals moving forward. The practice offers: individual somatic psychotherapy delivered in a concierge mental health model, relational somatic bodywork, and somatic business coaching. There may be some group somatic classes added to the schedule in the Fall of 2026 (please inquire about a waitlist for this). Somatic psychotherapy is a journey of awareness and self compassion. Instead of telling or retelling your trauma story, we work together to explore how your lived experiences are held within your body and how they impact on your day-to-day life. The foundation of concierge mental health services is the ability to cultivate a deep and personalized understanding of each client. This approach allows for more flexibility with scheduling, increased availability through texts or emails, longer appointment times, and the possibility of home visits or community-based sessions. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is an extensively researched and proven treatment for PTSD and traumatic memories. EMDR therapy is designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain. Unlike other therapies, it does not require talking in detail about a distressing issue or
completing homework between sessions. Rather than focusing on changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviors resulting from the distressing issue, the focus in on allowing the brain to resume its natural healing process. For many clients, EMDR therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other psychotherapies. Relational bodywork is a client led process of somatic touch where there is deep listening, insight, and integration. Clients are supported with tracking sensation, emotion, impulse, and meaning as they arise in the body. Insight is acquired through embodied awareness and the release of somatically based patterns as related to internally held trauma. As with all forms of bodywork, the client’s pace, capacity, and agency are central, and consent is an ongoing, relational process. Somatic business coaching blends body-based awareness, nervous system regulation, and strategic personal development to enhance performance and relationships with coworkers within an entrepreneurial business or employment setting. Clients receive strategies to stay grounded, present, and regulated (embodiment) as well as nervous system tools to manage stress, release tension, and maintain resilience in business. As a client of Somatic Psychology Services, you receive the benefit of my educational background and experience: NYS licensed psychologist, EMDR provider, registered yoga teacher, somatic movement educator, and somatic experiencing practitioner (SEP); but you also receive a bit of my heart. I am committed to this work because of a genuine love for people and strong belief that somatic work is life changing. There is no greater joy than helping people learn about themselves, find lightness and expansiveness in their daily lives, and transform pain into freedom as they become the highest expression of their personal selves.
