About

Two people connecting in a safe space. Welcome.

Feeling Overwhelmed? Feeling Stuck?

Reaching out for help with anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma healing is a pretty big deal! This is especially true when you are feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Associates at  Resonance Somatic Therapy will do our best to welcome you – to create a safe, soft space for you to land. Please scroll down to learn what to expect if you choose to work with one of us.

What to expect

First, you will be contacted for a brief phone consultation at no charge. The purpose of this call is to connect with you, get a sense of your needs and whether Resonance Somatic Therapy is right for you.

We may then decide which of our team members would best be a match for you. We will do our best to answer any of your questions about what we offer, including questions relating to fees, insurance and frequency of appointments.

If you decide to proceed with us there may be a brief waiting period before you see your therapist for an initial intake appointment.

Initial Intake

The initial intake appointment is for us to get to know each other. In somatic psychotherapy this includes getting to know the history and experience of your nervous system and body.

This means gathering information including medical history and other details about your experience, relationships, hopes and goals. This paints a picture that helps determine how we can best work together to create a treatment plan towards your goals. It is our intention that your re-telling of your experience in this first appointment will not be a re-enactment of trauma.

In other words you will not feel worse when you leave this appointment! Right away we will share practices specific to your needs to begin supporting your nervous system.

Who we work with

We welcome adults (18+) who have faced challenging and traumatic experiences, complicated grief, to those suffering with a range of losses - from the loss of a loved one, to relationship, career and identity transition, and health-related transitions.

We offer short term therapy for support and solutions to adjustments in life, and longer processes cultivating reliable, attuned therapeutic relationships. We do our best to provide care that is grounded in anti-oppressive principles and practices.

This means celebrating gender and cultural identities, and neurodiversity, while recognizing systemic oppression, colonization, and gender-based violence as we adapt together in a precarious world.
