Understanding that individual issues are complex, I use an eclectic approach that incorporates somatic/body-oriented and energy therapies for individuals looking to overcome the traumas that have dominated their lives as well as reclaim and reconnect their physical, emotional and spiritual selves.
The need to feel heard and understood exists within all of us and is vital to thrive in life. Without this need being met, you can find yourself struggling with feeling disconnected from others, weighed down by depression, held back by traumatic memories, overwhelmed by worry and fear, or stuck in your life while it seems as if everyone else is passing you by. Holding your story with great care, I can offer you a safe haven so that you can reach your own healing and a sense of empowerment in your life.

My ideal client is scared to reach out right now, is scared of being judged, and is nervous that they will get stuck with a therapist who keeps asking, "And how does that make you feel?".Are you feeling overwhelmed, feeling like you can't breathe, getting tightness in your chest, or worrying a lot? Do you feel hopeless, as if life is never in your favor? Do people not understand your issues or tell you that you’re overreacting? Everything is just fine.

Hello, my name is Alan Romano. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, and I have been providing therapy to individuals, couples, and groups for over four years in South Florida. I love the work that I do because I get to sit in a room with another human and remember what it means to be human together. Embodiment brings pain, and in our culture, we have yet to evolve, or possibly have devolved, into a conditioned state of not being allowed to share our pain with the world.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
