Talk & Somatic Therapy

Therapy sessions integrate traditional talk therapy with somatic (body-based) approaches. By addressing both the mind and body, this modality helps patients process stored trauma, reduce nervous system dysregulation, and build resilience. Sessions are tailored to each individual's needs and may include breathwork, mindfulness, and body awareness techniques.
