Sometimes the body tells the story the mind can’t. For some, that story shows up as tension, headaches, or digestive issues that don’t seem to have a clear cause. For others, it feels like heaviness, disconnection, or even not feeling safe in their own skin. When the body’s signals are overwhelming or hard to read, it’s easy to slip into coping habits that bring short-term relief but leave you feeling even more out of sync.

When the Body Becomes an Ally

What if reconnecting with your body could bring relief to your mind? Unlike traditional talk therapy, somatic practices focus on sensations, movement, stillness, and breath. By tuning into what the body carries, you begin to release tension, feel safer in your own skin, and experience healing that words alone can’t always reach.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We can accept HSA/ FSA, debit, credit and checks. We are not using insurance for groups.

  • Depending on where you are in your healing process, this group might not be a good fit for you if you are inclined towards certain types of self-harm or suicidal ideation when feeling emotionally activated. If you experience internal stimuli such as voices or hallucinations, this group won’t be a good fit. If you struggle to notice others’ emotional experience or group dynamics, individual therapy might be a better fit.

  • In registering, you are reserving one of the limited spots in the group. To get the most out of the group, you should plan to attend sessions in close proximity to each other. Because the group is open with rolling enrollment, you will have 8 weeks from the first session to make use of your five sessions. We understand that things come up; however, we are unable to provide refunds if you do not utilize five sessions in the eight week time span.

  • The minimum number of participants is four and the maximum number is eight.

  • This is a personal decision. Some people are interested in spacing out (i.e., going from weekly to biweekly) individual therapy while participating in the group. Some people want to continue to do both. Some people take a pause of their individual sessions altogether while attending group.
