Somatic Therapists in 59715
If qualitatively changing how you relate to yourself, others and the way you experience life, then the approach I use with my clients may speak to you. I aim to provide individuals with an experience that goes beyond talk therapy; as a seasoned level 2 Internal Family Systems (IFS) psychotherapist, the approach used with client consists of somatic, parts based experiential processing that can open the door for holistic and transformational psychotherapy. In addition to working at my private practice, I also am a senior staff therapist at MSU and have experience working with a variety presentations, including eating disorders.

The therapeutic tools I use are based in somatic feedback, trauma awareness, attachment, narrative and cognitive behavioral therapies.
Often when experiencing grief, anxiety, past or current traumas, major life adjustments and/or relationship stress, one can feel overwhelmed, lost or off balance. Exploring relational styles, physiological/ somatic responses and cognitive coping patterns can offer awareness of oneself to create more ease, empowerment and contentment in the day to day. I provide a safe and non judgmental space with collaboration, tenderness and authenticity so a person can grow and thrive in confidence.

I have been in private practice for 20 years and, in addition to perinatal support, I work with anxiety/depression, eating disorders, attachment issues, relationship transitions, chronic illness and somatic concerns.
I approach therapy from an attachment based orientation. I believe healing happens in the context of relationship. I focus on the awareness of safety to foster secure relationships to address old patterns of coping and survival. I use the innate intelligence of the body to guide the healing process toward health and balance.

At Sub Rosa Therapy we specialize in somatic and integration therapy approaches like Somatic Experiencing (SE), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT), and mindfulness-based approaches in general. These approaches are especially effective with mood disorders like anxiety and depression, and stress disorders like adjustment disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). SE and KAT approaches can allow previously unconscious content to surface and to be safely and effectively processed leading to long-term benefits as well as the easing of symptoms.

Our work will incorporate any or all of the following: mindfulness, somatic interventions, inter-personal neurobiology, family of origin work, compassion focused, acceptance, authentic dialogue, EMDR, IFS informed therapy, yoga, movement, music, nature, community, and more.
The most important part of therapy is that you connect/feel safe with your therapist, and finding that therapist can be difficult, especially right now. Call or send me an email to arrange a free consultation and lets see if we think we're a good fit. Trust yourself, ask questions, you've come this far, you will find someone that seems right for you. Life is hard at the moment and you're probably ready for something to change, but what? I advocate for fierce joy, tolerating uncertainty and loss, digging deep, genuine relationships, holding ourselves accountable, playing to strengths, & being compassionate about our challenges.

For the body: We focus on nervous system regulation utilizing mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR.
I work with women who want freedom from what haunts them. Women who are willing and ready to do the work to free themselves from the grip of whatever holds them. Addiction, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, a traumatic event, unhealthy relationships, you name it. Our past experiences coupled with our current modern society deeply affect our ability to find balance within our minds, bodies, and spirits. Healing is about returning to balance in these three areas. What does that look like?

My methods are rooted in somatic practices that include grounding exercises, neuroscience, mindfulness and attachment.
The foundation of my practice stems from the belief that every person has an inner capacity for well-being. I believe that when a safe environment is created, people can access their own inner resources and discover their own solutions. I strive to create a warm, supportive environment which allows children and adults to heal and begin the journey of reconnecting to themselves. I see my role in counseling being an empathic, deep listener as you explore and identify your unique values and goals.

I have a background in psychotherapy, I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and a graduate of the McKay Method School of Energy Healing.
I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal. Healing brings us closer to a sense of wholeness in our lives, which leads to authenticity, close and connected relationships, meaning and purpose, and connection to nature and spirit. However, experiences from the past or current challenges or stressors can leave people feeling overwhelmed. Through counseling, an individual can explore their experiences, process their emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations in the present moment, which will guide them toward increased awareness, emotional regulation, greater capacity and a sense of well-being and vitality.

In the past 11 years, I have worked in many healing-oriented spaces and received training in various modalities including somatic experiencing, wilderness therapy, and hatha yoga.
Counseling is a space used to move into deeper connection with yourself and to release patterns of being that no longer serve you. I believe when you gain self-regulation skills, self-awareness, and self-compassion, then you can create the change you seek and experience more freedom/ease. My hope is that you feel safe and fully accepted in my presence so you can explore the more painful parts of your life and honor your strengths. My approach to counseling is client driven and collaborative. I use mindfulness, somatic-based, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed interventions with clients.

I utilize CBT, cognitive processing, EMDR, Gottman's work with relationships and somatic psychology.
Are you ready to transform your relationship with life? Are you feeling confused, anxious, or having difficulty finding your happiness in the midst of life's stressors? We all have problems, habits and "quirks" of personality and wonder sometimes when life gets rough, whether we need therapy or if it would be a good option. When life is getting on top of you, when you begin to feel strong emotions that you didn't know that you had, when you feel lost, hopeless or out of control or just want to reach your full potential, then give yourself a chance to seek a new solution. I can help.

I have a long professional history with the body-based modalities of Rolfing Structural Integration and massage. I draw from this knowledge base as well as my Somatic Experiencing training to provide somatically-based mental health services as a counselor. Using somatic therapies, I work with clients who have experienced the mood altering effects of trauma and dissociation, helping them to find greater embodiment and engagement in their relationships again. I prefer working with clients in-person because I feel somatic work is more effective that way.

I use a somatic and IFS-informed approach to help you feel empowered, seen, and understood while gently challenging you to move towards difficult things and connect with your most authentic, compassionate self.
Maybe you feel like you're stuck on autopilot. Maybe you are drowning in emotions or feel plagued by your past. We live in a world that tells us to figure it all out on our own— asking for help takes courage. I work with individuals and couples who are feeling stuck, frustrated, burnt out, lonely, and disconnected. Giving voice to your struggles can be scary but it can also be deeply healing. I aim to help clients find a greater sense of ease, clarity, and fulfillment in their lives.

With an attuned and often fun presence, I draw on mindfulness, somatic, and nature based therapies to provide a safe, comfortable, collaborative experience.
Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, anxiety, major life changes and/or relationship stress? Do you struggle with feelings of shame and guilt? My practice is grounded in the belief that everyone has the capacity to heal, achieve fulfillment, and to be fully present to life experience. I believe in the importance of our relationships with others and our connection to the natural world and how this connection can be regulating, helping us achieve freedom from shame, depression, and anxiety. Combining nature based work with somatic techniques can help release traumas stored in the body.

I am a somatic and attachment, or relationship, focused in my approach.
I believe at the core of each of our experiences in life is our felt sense of feeling safe or unsafe in relationships and situations. I also believe that our nervous system is inherently linked to how we are responding to people & situations. The acknowledgement of our nervous system requires us to connect to our body & become an active observer of how we are managing or coping while being in the world. This process is focused on initially helping people begin to find things that make them feel better & resourced & then moving towards the "hot button topics" once we have reached a more resilient place in our systems.

I use an integrated approach to counseling, drawing from Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and Somatic work.
I work with a variety of life issues, from trauma and grief to depression, anxiety and everyday stressors in between. My hope for our work together is to help my clients develop a deeper sense of knowing and trusting themselves. I strive to provide a space to explore how and where a person may feel stuck in order to move forward with a better sense of awareness and a greater level of compassion. I believe when self-awareness grows, we are able to show up differently in our relationships, desires, and lives. I also believe change is possible when we have a trusting therapist/client relationship to build off.

My experience, training, and theoretical approach to working with clients is grounded in psychodynamic, interpersonal, attachment, somatic, and mindfulness-based orientations.
Accepting new clients. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor and research-informed professional who works collaboratively and relationally with adults ages 18 to 100+ years old across a range of mental health concerns, including: anxiety, depression, trauma, lifespan development, attachment, interpersonal relationships, family of origin, gender identity and transition, sexual identity, race and ethnicity, aging, grief and loss, and transitions across the lifespan. I also provide clinical supervision of pre-licensed masters-level professionals.

I work primarily from a somatic perspective, meaning a focus on the body and the ways that we hold stress and trauma.
I believe that everyone has the potential to heal, grow, change, and live a life of purpose and meaning. I offer an accepting, nonjudgmental environment and I aim to meet people where ever they are in life. I believe my warm, genuine nature helps to create a strong therapeutic relationship that can foster the growth many are looking for. My specialty is in trauma healing, which includes working with symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and unhealthy patterns or addiction. My hope is to help people reconnect to their body as part of the healing process, shifting towards ways to thrive rather than just survive their experience.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
