Can somatic therapy help with anxiety and depression?

Yes, somatic therapy can be effective in addressing symptoms of anxiety and depression by helping individuals process emotions and release physical tension.

Is somatic therapy suitable for everyone?

Somatic therapy can benefit many individuals, but it's important to consult with a therapist to determine if it's the right approach for your needs.

How is somatic therapy different from traditional therapy?

Somatic therapy emphasizes the physical experience of emotions and aims to address both the mind and body's response to stress and trauma.

Are your therapists licensed?

Somatic Therapy is an alternative therapeutic approach that focuses on the embodied experience of the individual. The mind and body are not treated separately but as one process. I encourage you to explore more, in my practice we used touch and body guided verbal interventions to guide clients into themselves for discovery and healing. If you have any specific questions please feel welcome to message me directly.

Sensorimotor Art Therapy

Trauma is held in the body, often beyond words. Sensorimotor Art Therapy® offers a non-verbal path to healing by engaging the nervous system, motor cortex, and sensory processing through rhythmic, bilateral movement. Instead of focusing on storied memories, this approach nurtures regulation, resilience, and active engagement, helping the body complete responses to past overwhelming experiences. It allows us to get out of the thinking and into the feeling.

Using both hands simultaneously in repetitive drawing activates a sensorimotor feedback loop, creating new neural pathways that repair traumatic ruptures—even from early developmental experiences. Sessions are guided yet spacious, with long periods of silence to stay in rhythm and deepen awareness. Whether in person or remotely, this practice offers a gentle yet profound way to reconnect with yourself, beyond words.
