What is Sensorimotor Psychotherapy?

Home » Treatment Therapies » Sensorimotor Psychotherapy » Page 4

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy focuses on addressing unresolved trauma.

As a result of trauma, a person’s brain can change. These changes can manifest themselves in physical and psychological issues. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy aims to treat the body to help heal the mind.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy uses physical sensation to address the connection with emotional responses in individuals with trauma.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy’s goal is for you to manage the physical sensations that arise when confronted by things that remind you of your trauma. It also seeks to connect the mind and body to help you regulate yourself after experiencing trauma.

You've heard the familiar usual advice so many times: “Don’t sweat the small stuff!” “Take things as they come!” “Just think positive!” Do suggestions like these fill you with rage or worse yet shut you down? I get it. You KNOW there are things you could do differently. You try to do everything right. You work hard. You're focused.. yet it's just not quite right.. or enough. You still end up...

The support within th...
My work with each client is integrative and dynamic. My "home base" is in contemporary feminist psychodynamic therapy, but I utilize techniques from CBT, DBT, internal family systems, mindfulness, and sensorimotor psychotherapy to tailor my approach to a client's presenting needs. I'm a firm believer that a person will not feel safe exploring difficult areas in therapy if they don't feel...
Relationships are at the heart of my work....relationship with self and with other. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples inviting you to step into your own curiosity and wisdom. I integrate a variety of approaches to meet your individual needs from a place of mindfulness and presence, holism (mind-body-spirit connection), and organicity (the impulse to heal lies within) with a strong...
