Somatic Therapists in Dacula, GA
Hi there! My name is Amberly Ellis and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist. I approach counseling from an integrative, attachment-based, and interpersonal neurobiology lens, recognizing the link between behavior, the nervous system, and interpersonal connection. I believe the behaviors children and teens display are merely their way of communicating a need - a need to connect, a need to be known, a need to be heard, and a need for felt safety. It is my goal to not just help my clients “fix the problem,” but to help build understanding, connection, and a victorious mind.

Using EMDR, mindfulness, somatic tools, and a warm, relational approach, we help you heal what’s underneath the overwhelm—so you can feel calm, connected, and more at home in yourself and your relationships.
You’ve always been the one others count on—strong, capable, calm under pressure. But lately, it feels like you're barely holding it together. Under the surface, there’s anxiety, exhaustion, and a constant push to keep going. You struggle to set boundaries, to ask for help, to rest without guilt. You feel unseen, disconnected from yourself, and unsure how much longer you can keep this up. You want space to breathe, to feel grounded, to stop overthinking and start feeling like you again. You long for support that doesn’t depend on what you give in return. Therapy can help. You deserve that kind of care.

I incorporate body-based somatic methods to heal at the level of the nervous system and to build new, resilient patterns.
Do you get this feeling like you don't belong? Like everyone else is able to just enjoy their calm days, and you are inexplicably a category 5 hurricane inside?

First of all, you are not broken, bad, or defective. You are not a walking burden, doomed to wander the earth alone with your giant feelings.

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.
