Somatic Therapy

The body (this includes the brain!) is the rolodex for all of or experiences, and can recall them, consciously and unconsciously. Our aim is to help unwind the tension and trauma that the body might be holding on to that interrupts the body's ability to feel its own resilience and natural impulse towards health and resolution. This perspective is informed by a bottom-up approach of what your body has to teach us at any moment, as well as using neuroscience and data driven information about how we're 'wired.'

The perspective underlying this category is informed by STAGES , a map and model to support your current developmental unfolding. While we know that the map is not the territory, it can help inform us about different parts of your psyche that need unique supports and scaffolding for it to blossom. We can nurture these places at our edges by gaining clarity and a more nuanced understanding of our inner terrain, as well as give our "trailing edges" opportunities to mature into our wholeness. 

Parts Work

Informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), we address our being as both a whole and a collection of parts that develop to support our functioning in the world. When parts develop in response to traumatic events or episodes, they might not play well with the whole of our being.  We work with these emergent parts to help them grow and mature to support optimal functioning of the whole.
