Mission Statement

Ascent Somatic Therapy offers a holistic, integrative, and innovative approach to mental health, utilizing Somatic Therapy, a body-centered practice that emphasizes present-moment awareness of bodily tension, gestures, and sensations. Through a combination of awareness, dialogue, breathing, and movement, this approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy, connecting heart, mind, body, and soul. Darlene views the body as a wise resource, ally, and guide, helping clients tap into their innate healing intelligence. Our bodies hold deep wisdom that the cognitive mind may overlook or dismiss.

Our mission is to empower individuals to heal, break old patterns, and cultivate health and meaningful relationships. We guide them in discovering their unique gifts, elevating consciousness, and reaching their full potential, fostering personal and spiritual growth. Through this process, we promote wellness and connection, creating a positive ripple effect for themselves and others.

Through this process, clients are empowered to step into their power and embody their fullest potential, creating positive change for themselves and others.
