The most critical element of effective therapy is forming a comfortable, trusting relationship. I offer a complimentary 15 minute phone consultation so that we can begin to get to know each other and assess if we will be a good fit for each other. I offer one hour psychotherapy sessions for $175. I also offer longer, prorated sessions for intensive therapy. Please check with your insurance company to see if they will reimburse for out of network providers. Ascent Counseling can provide a Super Bill with pertinent information including CPT codes and NPI for your insurance company.

Somatic therapy is a holistic approach that integrates mind, body, emotions, and spirit, recognizing their deep interconnection. Unlike traditional talk therapy, it engages the body as a source of wisdom and healing. By incorporating grounding, mindfulness, breathwork, and movement, clients shift from overthinking into a deeper, embodied awareness.

During a session, I guide clients to explore their concerns while noticing the physical sensations that arise. Through techniques like deep breathing, relaxation exercises, and imagery, we create space for self-discovery, releasing long-held emotions such as anger, tension, or fear that may be stored in the body. This process fosters clarity, resilience, and self-trust, allowing clients to reconnect with their true selves.

As a culture, many of us have been taught to ignore our bodies, disconnecting from our inner wisdom. For some, the body hasn’t felt like a safe place to be. Somatic therapy gently rebuilds this connection, helping clients feel grounded, present, and empowered. By learning to listen to and trust the body, we open the door to healing, deeper self-understanding, and a more fulfilling life.
