Somatic Therapists in Paradise, CA

I became a therapist after years of working in the performing arts in New York City. My work continues to be influenced by my trainings in dance and somatic modalities from that time. I describe my therapy style as warm, direct, and open, all housed within a creative sensibility. Folks I work with hold a variety of intersecting identities and bring a wide variety of concerns, stressors, and challenges into session. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, parenting concerns and more.

The treatment of complex histories of trauma, eating disorders, and attachment disruptions must include interventions that rewire the brain from the bottom up, somatic movement to reintegrate the body with the brain, and a felt sense of safety, in the context of relationship. This provides lasting change for improved regulation, mood, energy, the ability to be present and attune to others. Too many therapies focus on decision making, problem solving, or changing your thoughts. This is not how we are wired to work. It leads to disappointment. My evidenced based interventions promise to be different.

As a therapist/coach, I seek to treat the whole person and begin where they are at. Through depth listening, positive regard, and an open being, I partner with you and use approaches from various modalities (cognitive, solution-focused, client-centered, mindfulness, somatic, humanistic, and positive psychology) to create a path to help you discover your abilities, strengths and most of all resilience to address the issues which are facing you.

Let's put the "Soul" back into therapy. Psychotherapy....Psycho(of the soul) therapy(healing)....Soul healing! Anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship issues, you name it, I'll help you heal through it. Let my 20 plus years as a spiritually/culturally oriented somatic therapist work for you. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before but this time you are looking for something different. Something more…that will speak to your soul and energize your spirit. You would like to tap into your innate power to attract and maintain emotional balance, success, wealth and healthy relationships. There is hope! You don’t have to do this alone!

My therapeutic style is compassionate, honest and warm. My formula is empower and embody. I have 17 years experience working with couples, families, individuals, groups. I specialize in traumas including sexual abuse, childhood neglect and military trauma, along with substance addictions and process addictions including eating disorders and codependency. Using a holistic approach, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to retrieve parts of your Self and your spirit while helping you discover solutions and coping skills. I am your guide, and in this collaboration you’ll uncover a life congruent with your authentic self.

Hello and Welcome! My passion is creating a safe and non judgmental space for you to freely express yourself. I bring an Integrative/Transpersonal approach to sessions through trauma informed mindfulness, somatic (body) awareness, strength-based, and experiential to help you tap into a more empowered you. The more we cultivate present moment awareness and learn to listen to our body, we can begin to set ourselves free from struggles of the past and worries of the future.

I am dedicated to helping my clients reach their highest healing potential through state-of-the-art mind and body-based modalities. My goal is to help people release trauma and pain from the past which prevents them from living a full, active, and joyful life. I have been working in the healing industry for over 30 years. I became a Certified Massage Therapist in 1992 and later earned my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Francisco. I am certified in Brainspotting, Somatic Archaeology, Yoga Instruction and am an accredited Neuro-Transformational Life Coach.

I hope to help people from all backgrounds and experiences and walk alongside them in their journey. If you feel a little (or a lot) stuck in the past or fear the future, your feelings are valid and you have a place here.

There are many paths to healing and change. The journey is an active one and there is success in simply taking the first step, acknowledging a change is needed. I have worked in mental health services since 1988 and have worked with many different people and issues. I believe that developing awareness, of emotions, thoughts and behavior, is the starting place and that understanding where we come from, what got us here can be helpful, but changing how we feel today is the best way to have a sense of power. I specialize in somatic, or a body based approach to treatment of trauma. Please call or email me for a therapy session today.

Hello, my name is Stephanie Fischer and I provide counseling in Yuba City. I work a lot with trauma/abuse, PTSD, depression and anxiety.

I believe everybody has the resources within to solve their struggles and it's my job to help you access those resources and to start to live a healthy and fulfilling life.

Therapy can support in navigating tough emotions, getting unstuck through life’s challenges, and learning more about ourselves and others. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment for all of my clients, that fosters empowerment and healing. In this space, you will be met with genuine empathy and deep caring. You deserve to feel seen and heard in your story. I believe in an integrative therapy approach tailored to your needs.

When your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is perpetually alerted to be in a survival state (due to various life stressors) you might notice symptoms such as chronic fatigue, adrenal deficiency, perpetual irritability, trouble with sleeping, digestive issues, various mental health challenges and the list goes on. Holistic approaches to wellness that incorporate body-brain based therapy models get at the root of these issues and begin turning down the dial on your ANS so that you can live a longer, healthier life.

My primary purpose is to help my clients the way I have been helped on my own healing journey. The empathy, compassion, & unconditional positive regard I feel toward my clients allows us to build a foundation of rapport & trust very easily! I feel a passionate calling to work with clients whose issues mirror the struggles & challenges that I, too, have overcome. I also see myself as a protector of children, including our inner children, to help them stay safe, feel loved and protected, and heal their wounds. Do you desire health, peace, prosperity, joy, abundance, freedom, happiness, and serenity? We can work toward all of this 4 U!
