Somatic Focused Therapy

Reconnect with your body. Repair your relationships. Reclaim your wholeness.

 

Somatic-Relational Therapy integrates body-based awareness with relational healing to support deep, lasting transformation. This approach recognizes that our bodies hold the imprint of our experiences — including trauma, attachment wounds, and patterns shaped in early relationships. By bringing mindful attention to physical sensations, emotions, and nervous system responses, clients can begin to shift long-held patterns and build new ways of relating — both to themselves and others.

By gently tuning into physical sensations, movement, breath, and felt experience, somatic therapy helps individuals access parts of themselves that may be beyond words. Combined with a strong therapeutic relationship rooted in presence, empathy, and safety, this approach supports deeper regulation, healing, and transformation. In therapy, we explore not only what you are thinking and feeling, but how it lives in your body. We pay close attention to cues from the nervous system (such as tension, breath, posture, and impulse), and gently work with them to foster regulation, safety, and deeper self-awareness. The relational aspect of this work involves noticing how these patterns show up in connection with others — including within the therapeutic relationship — and using that awareness to promote healing, integration, and change.

What Can Somatic-Relational Therapy Help With?

This approach can be particularly effective for individuals who:

·         Feel “stuck” in old patterns despite insight

  • Struggle with anxiety, chronic stress, or emotional overwhelm

  • Have a history of trauma, attachment wounds, or relational disruptions

  • Long to feel more embodied, connected, and present in their lives

  • Seek to reconnect with their authentic self and inner sense of safety

  • Feel disconnected from their body, emotions, or sense of self

  • Experience chronic pain, fatigue, or body-based symptoms with emotional roots

  • Find themselves repeating unhelpful relational patterns

  • Long for a deeper sense of authenticity, safety, or connection in relationships

 

How It Works

In Somatic-Relational Therapy, sessions may involve:

  • Mindful tracking of bodily sensations, tension, or emotional states

  • Exploring nervous system responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) in real-time

  • Practicing grounding, resourcing, and self-regulation tools

  • Noticing attachment patterns and how they show up in relationship

  • Using the therapeutic relationship as a safe container to explore trust, vulnerability, and repair

  • Gently shifting core beliefs, body memories, and relational defenses that no longer serve you

This is not a “talk-only” therapy — though we do talk. It is a collaborative process that invites you to listen to your body’s wisdom, bring compassion to your lived experience, and build new pathways for connection and resilience.

 

Why It Matters

Many of our most persistent challenges — from emotional reactivity to relationship struggles — have roots in our body’s protective patterns. Somatic-Relational Therapy helps you slow down, tune in, and begin to shift these patterns not just cognitively, but experientially. Over time, clients often report feeling more grounded, empowered, and connected — both within themselves and in their relationships.

Healing happens in relationship — with ourselves, our bodies, and one another. Somatic and relational therapy invites you to slow down, listen inward, and gently explore the patterns that shape your experience.

We are here to offer grounded presence, deep atonement, and skilled therapeutic support. Whether you're seeking to reconnect with yourself, navigate stress or trauma, or cultivate more meaningful relationships, we welcome you just as you are.
