Somatic Therapists in San Jose, CA
My therapeutic approach centers on cultivating a strong alliance with my clients, as I believe that the foundation of effective therapy lies in the rapport we build and the sense of safety clients feel in our sessions. I place great importance on identifying and building upon my clients’ strengths, as I believe this empowers them to engage more fully in the therapeutic process. With a trauma-informed and multicultural lens, I help clients navigate and process difficult past experiences, while also acknowledging how race and ethnicity shape our perceptions of the world and influence personal growth.

My clients tend to be perfectionists, overachievers, "formerly gifted", and burnt the hell out. They struggle with rest, link their self-worth to productivity, and have great difficulty putting themselves first. If this sounds like you, you have come to the right place.

It’s difficult to be a human, with all of the ways the world shoves and shames us, telling us that we aren’t good enough or that we should to be something different. I love being a therapist and helping people unearth their precious and magical selves which may have been buried under years of pain and difficulty. There is so much to discover about ourselves, why we suffer and how we can get to a freer and more satisfying way of being.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.

I believe safety to be a human right - not a privilege. This is what sits at the very core of who I am. This is what I bring to the work that I do. A certain intensity; a certain empathy; a certain knowing.

Hello, my name is Dino Petruzzi and I am a LMFT Licensed in California. I have been a therapist for the past 7 years. My approach to therapy is to be compassionate and non-judgmental with my clients. My focus is on the client and what they need to get out of each session. I would describe my theoretical approach as a cross between humanistic and compassionate inquiry where both the individual and therapist unveil the level of consciousness, mental climate, hidden assumptions, implicit memories, and body states that form the real message that words both express and conceal.

Carl Jung said: “It is what you are that heals, not what you know”. The journey of self-discovery is exactly that – getting to know and deeply appreciating your true and authentic self, even when that essence may be covered by trauma, hardship and suffering. It is this uncovering that many who experience psychotherapy to be transformative and healing refer to as a “re-birth”, a coming home to and an unfolding of who you truly are. Engaging in the process of self-inquiry can be a rewarding and even a life-changing experience, especially in the presence of an empathic and compassionate other.
