Somatic Therapy in California
Therapy to Heal the Mind-Body Connection
Believe it or not, your emotional health doesn’t just happen in your brain. Your mind and body — from your nervous system to your muscles to your hormones — are intimately linked.
Somatic therapy can help you use the mind-body connection to heal holistically.
With practice, you’ll feel more safe and relaxed in your body. You’ll learn to regulate your nervous system, and respond effectively to triggers that come up in your daily life. And ultimately, you’ll be able to get back to the things you care about most — whether that’s family, self-care, career, or just living your life.
Somatic Therapy Can Help With:
✦ Intrusive thoughts or memories of a painful or traumatic event
✦ Feeling keyed up, tense, or on guard all the time
✦ Overwhelm or panic when a trigger comes up in daily life
✦ Feeling unsafe, numb, or disconnected from your body
✦ Struggling to know your own limits or boundaries with others
✦ Managing physical symptoms like pain or digestive issues
✦ Learning to feel safe & emotionally regulated for the first time
What Problems Can Somatic Therapy Treat?
Somatic therapy is often thought of as a trauma treatment — and it’s highly effective at that.
It’s also great fit for many problems related to the mind-body connection, such as:
Trauma and PTSD
Burnout and depression
Anxiety and panic
Complicated grief
Self esteem and relational issues
Chronic pain and illness
Meet Charlene, Somatic Therapist
Somatic therapy can transform your relationship with yourself, your emotions, and the world around you.
I use elements of sensorimotor and other somatic therapies to help my clients reconnect their mind and body. Through this process, they learn to manage the thoughts and emotions that are connected to trauma. And ultimately, to let go of a painful experience.
You’ll start to feel the world is operating differently, because you will be operating differently.

Meet Sage, Somatic Therapist
Traumatic or painful experiences can leave us disconnected from our bodies. That can serve a protective function, but it can also make it very hard to regulate our emotions.
As a somatic therapist, I can help guide you towards aligning your mind and body. It’s normal to experience overwhelming emotions at times, but somatic therapy can help you respond to those feelings more intentionally. As you learn to regulate your nervous system, you’ll experience more moments of feeling grounded, calm, and safe in your body.
Over time, this creates opportunities not just to cope, but to heal.
