Trauma doesn't only live in thoughts and memories. It lives in the body. We work with both.
Body-Mind Psychotherapy, also called somatic psychotherapy, is a clinical approach that integrates the body's role in emotional and psychological healing. Traditional talk therapy engages the thinking mind, but trauma, early attachment disruption, and chronic stress often live below the level of conscious thought, held in physical sensation, posture, breath, and nervous system activation.
Our body-mind approach helps clients tune into physical sensations as information, not something to be bypassed. We work slowly and collaboratively to build somatic awareness, regulate the nervous system, and gradually process trauma that may not be accessible through words alone. This approach is especially powerful for adoptees and foster youth who experienced early pre-verbal trauma: when words weren't available but the body was still taking note.
Our somatic-trained therapists integrate body-mind work with attachment and trauma-informed approaches.
