Somatic Psychotherapy in New York & Online
Your Body has a story to tell
We’re a boutique therapy practice in New York supporting clients who are ready to go deeper, beyond insight and into embodied change.
Many of our clients come to us after years of talk therapy. They understand their patterns, yet still feel stuck. We help you unlock the wisdom of your body - so you can release what’s been held and build a life that feels more alive, grounded, and truly your own.
We help you learn to listen
Therapy that meets you where words leave off
Beyond Talk
At Somatic Psychotherapy, we offer body-centered, trauma-informed therapy designed to support healing at every stage of life.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship patterns, fertility challenges, or the transition into parenthood, we’re here to help you return to your body, your emotions, and your deeper sense of self.
We believe true healing doesn’t just come from understanding your story. It happens when you slow down, listen inward, and attune to the quiet wisdom living inside your body.
Grounded in mindfulness, compassion, and somatic awareness, our work gently meets your nervous system where it is—supporting transformation that unfolds through safety, connection, and presence.
Our Core Body-Based Approaches
Somatic Experiencing — Restores your nervous system’s natural capacity for regulation and resilience after stress or trauma.
Hakomi & Mindful Somatic Therapy — Uses mindfulness and curiosity to uncover unconscious patterns and invite organic healing.
EMDR Therapy — Helps you process and integrate painful experiences without reliving them, rebuilding safety and calm.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) — Supports healing by meeting your inner “parts” with compassion, clarity, and curiosity.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) — Combines the power of ketamine with therapeutic presence for deeper emotional release and integration.
