Somatic Psychotherapy (a.k.a. Body-Centered Therapy) describes therapeutic approaches that integrate a client's physical body into the therapy process.  

 

Your body holds valuable information about your condition, including memories of past stress that may not be in your conscious awareness.  By integrating body-centered methods into talk therapy, healing occurs on a deeper level and at a faster pace than it does through traditional talk therapy alone.

​

Body-centered techniques that I use include breathwork, mindfulness-based exercises, and careful engagement of the five senses.  I use these different techniques to aid clients in tuning into their physical sensations, body language, emotions, thoughts, and memories, in order to bring awareness to the relationships between them. 

​

When you turn to the body as an additional resource in the therapeutic process, you can work through many concerns and learn to become a self-healer.
