Brooklyn Heights · In-person & telehealth across NY
Rebuild your connection to safety, trust & regulation
We offer somatic therapy in NYC for individuals who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in emotional patterns that talking alone hasn’t been able to shift.
Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to healing that works with the nervous system, breath, mindfulness, and body awareness to help release stored stress and trauma. It recognizes that healing doesn’t happen only through talking — it also lives in the body.
Somatic work may also be woven into therapy with other team members based on your needs and preferences, and can be integrated with our individual therapy, couples therapy, and EMDR work.

You might benefit from somatic therapy in NYC if you…

You don’t have to think your way through everything. Let’s help your body feel safe again, too.
Somatic therapy focuses more on the body’s cues and responses. While talk is often part of the process, it’s not the only tool used. You may spend more time noticing sensation, movement, and internal awareness.
Yes. Many people find that somatic work offers a way to release stored trauma that talk therapy alone couldn’t access. We always proceed gently and with care.
Yes. Teen therapy isn’t just for crisis — it’s a proactive support for navigating life, identity, stress, and growing independence.
Not at all. Somatic therapy is not physical fitness — it’s about tuning into your body with curiosity, not performance. You’ll be supported at your own pace.
