NYC somatic therapy For anxiety & Trauma

somatic therapy, Gently

a softer approach for lasting transformation & embodiment

  • "Our desires are on the other side of our capacity to hold sensation in your soma."

    Gillian Pothier

  • My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents, my flaws and to stop this incessant worrying that I can’t be loved as I am.

hi, i’m Stephanie.
licensed mental health counselor

if you’re ready to move pains of the past that linger out of your body, you’re in the right space.

  • You’ve been through so much, yet you are now ready to move past the worries that plague you of hopelessness.

  • You know life could feel much better than this. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before, and weren’t quite sure if it was for you, but you’re willing to courageously try again.

  • You're here because you yearn for something different.

  • You're here because you long for depth and emotional mastery.

  • You are here because you know it is not enough, just knowledge & knowing alone.


    Everything is information — but you know embodiment is another thing entirely.

“Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience. You need experience to gain wisdom.”

- Albert Einstein

you deserve liberation from feeling ‘too much’ or not ‘good enough.’

If any of this resonates, I invite you into an experience that guides you in moving through those stuck places, and freeing up your energy. I’m a Licensed Somatic Psychotherapist & Breathwork Facilitator specializing with anxiety, trauma, and attachment wounding.

I LOVE that ‘psyche’ means soul. Somatic therapy is the place where Soul meets Body. (Yes, like the Death Cab for Cutie song.)

I became a therapist to treat trauma. Over time, I noticed an underlying theme was not feeling good enough and feeling too much or over preparing for feeling good/good enough/not too much. For me, that means showing up more authentically minding less perfectionistic, high-functioning anxiety tendencies.

How I can help

i specialize in therapy for lasting change.

We may want to be more emotionally available to others, deepening our relationships & connections to loved ones, but we do this best by first becoming more fully emotionally available to ourselves. I specialize in helping with chronic stress & anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem & relationship issues.

Breathwork-Assisted Therapy

Often an offer included in individual therapy. Meditative, embodiment practices guided by myself in sessions meant to transform, resource, emotionally regulate, and soothe. I apply intuitive connection, yogic principles, energy healing, and awareness of subconscious programming to help clients in releasing blocked emotions they've been fighting through on their own, and finding a felt sense of clarity within themselves.

experiential therapy

In order to experience lasting transformation, that lasts in the times between our sessions, we must have an experience of our Selves in sessions.

“the purpose of soul work is never to make our wounds disappear. our wounds never ‘disappear’. the purpose of soul work is to arrive the place where our wounds bleed gold.”
