What’s Somatic Therapy and How Does It Work?

Somatic therapy is like giving your body and mind a chance to talk it out. This holistic approach gets real about the fact that emotional baggage often shows up as physical symptoms (hello, tight shoulders and knotted stomachs). By focusing on the connection between your mind and body, somatic therapy helps you release stored emotions, process trauma, and feel more grounded.

​

Here’s the vibe: a somatic therapist helps you tune into your body—those sensations, movements, and even the tiniest gestures that are tied to your emotions. Using techniques like breathwork, body awareness, movement, and mindfulness, they guide you to work through and release what’s been holding you back. It’s like hitting “refresh” for your whole self.

​

Somatic therapy is especially powerful for tackling trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, or depression. It helps you process experiences, regulate emotions, and build resilience—all while reconnecting with your body in a way that feels empowering.

​

Whether you’re in an individual session, group setting, or working alongside other therapies, somatic therapy gets to the heart (and body) of the matter, helping you grow, heal, and move forward. Ready to let your body join the conversation? Let’s get started!
