My name is Dorothy Husen, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist working and licensed in California, MFT 85611. I specialize in helping adults who have suffered from childhood trauma, abuse, and neglect, both physical and emotional. I teach my clients mindfulness breathing skills, self-regulation, and body resourcing skills in sessions so clients can learn how to lower their anxiety. Also, I use mind/body psychotherapy and teach Re-parenting skills. I have found that my style and approach are good for adults who have tried talk therapy with limited success and for adults who have difficulty talking about their past.

I work with clients who, despite their best efforts, seem to keep running up against a wall. Whether it's due to past childhood traumatic experiences, current work or relationship stressors or no known reason, I would love to support you. I especially enjoy working with couples as they navigate stuck patterns of disconnection. For individuals my primary focus is usually with anxiety and parenting. Clients who come to me often want a clearer understanding of their emotional experiences and relationship patterns. A main goal my clients are looking to achieve include a deeper and stronger relationship with themselves and others.

As a therapist, I specialize in helping people find balance and reconnect with themselves during challenging times.

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.
