At the heart of my work, I approach therapy from a relational, psychodynamic therapy model, which means I believe the relationship between the client and therapist can be a transformative component in the growth process. I am a LPC combining modern neurobiology with holistic somatic healing, the psychodynamic therapeutic relationship, and body-based practices to create an experiential awakening on a bodily, psychological and emotional level. I work from a somatic-centered therapeutic approach, meaning that I believe that the body tells the stories and narratives. For more information, my website is: www.kellypastori.com

I would be honored to help you holistically heal. I am currently studying and interested in the role that psychedelics play in the facilitation of healing and change. My approach is warm, playful, and connected. I am looking forward to helping you unwind the deeply engrained patterns to help you gain access to yourself and your life in a new, vibrant way.

Did you know that some people who grew up in religious purity culture have symptoms that are similar to people who experienced childhood sexual abuse? The impact of a sexually shaming culture can be subtle, but leave deep wounds. This group focuses on the process of leaving purity culture in order to reclaim our bodies and heal from sexual shame and trauma. We are open to female-identified people who are still engaging in religion, as well as those who have moved away from it. This will be a process focused group beginning in November and running for eight weeks.
