Somatic Therapists in Augusta, ME
I integrate creative approaches such as IFS (parts work), Ecotherapy with plant allies + somatic based interventions tailored to each person and their steps towards wellness.
I’m here to guide you home to yourself. Coming into a civilization that values hyper-production and individualistic ways of being I became enlightened by the deep rooted connection and harmony the mind, body, and soul were craving. The suppression and imbalance of our innate human parts has created exhaustion and burnout that instills conditioning of shame, guilt and fear. My mission is to provide a meaningful safe space to shed these burdens, connect with the healing allies of nature and your own inner wisdom to remember how to be in alignment with your whole embodied Self and the world around you

Our work may draw on CBT to explore patterns in thoughts and behavior, CPT or somatic EMDR to address trauma, and motivational interviewing to work through uncertainty about change.
Whether you’re new to therapy or returning, I aim to offer a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly. You are the expert on your own life. My role is to listen, offer perspective, and support you as we work toward the goals that matter to you. I tailor our work to your needs, helping you build insight, draw on your strengths, and make meaningful changes. Sometimes it helps to talk with someone outside your circle. If you’re considering therapy, I welcome you to reach out so we can discuss what you’re looking for.

I utilize a wide range of approaches to assist individuals with meeting their goals including EMDR, IFS, DBT, ERP, Brainspotting, Somatic Therapy, and Mindfulness.
My name is Summer Post. I am a licensed counselor in Delaware, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia. I work with individuals who have experienced adverse experiences to help them to take control back in their lives. I became a therapist because I know that every person is powerful and can overcome anything. I want to help every individual be able to recognize this and to access their inner strength. Seeing clients getting to the place where they can do that is what drives me every day.

My practice is rooted in the power of storytelling, guiding individuals to delve into their experiences and uncover the meanings hidden throughout. As we explore these narratives, how we view them can shift, often leading to transformative changes in how we perceive our lives. Weaving an integrative approach of evidence-based and holistic psychotherapy practices, I serve as a reflective guide, helping you identify patterns and stories that may limit your self-worth and authentic expression. My goal is to partner with you in discovering your authentic story within a supportive and trusting environment as you navigate your journey.

I combine talk therapy, behavioral strategies, and somatic approaches that address the body’s role in holding stress and trauma.
I work with those searching for growth and transformation who experience depression, stress, anxiety, mood shifts, or the effects of trauma, as well as those who feel stuck in cycles of shame, self-doubt, or self-sabotage. Many are drawn to therapy not only to heal pain, but also to rediscover creativity, explore who they are, and emerge into a deeper relationship with life.
Therapy can be a process of reconnection and a reclaiming of personal power. Together we can build self-compassion, decrease suffering, and untangle old patterns. We can learn to experience more aliveness, joy, and love for ourselves and others.

EMDR, IFS, and Somatic therapies represent progress in the movement beyond talk therapy and towards working with the nervous system to deeply integrate positive change.
We often find ourselves stuck in all too familiar negative patterns. Patterns of behavior that we know don't serve ourselves or our loved ones. Patterns of thought that always seem to tear us down no matter how much progress we make. Patterns within relationships that are less than we deserve. Patterns of anxiety and stress that feel out of our control. Many of us have worked hard to understand and change these patterns: setting goals, self-help books, therapy, medication, meditation, and so on. Yet we find that the deepest patterns are frustratingly stubborn, seeming to rise to the surface no matter how much work we've done.

I use mindfulness-based CBT, trauma informed and somatic practices such as meditation and EFT.
My ideal client is a woman who feels weighed down by anxiety, stress or the lingering effects of past traumas. She may be navigating a difficult life transition such as a relationship shift, career change or family challenges.
Her goals are to better understand herself, build healthier thought patterns, and develop practical tools for calming her mind, body, soul and spirit. More than symptom relief she wants to feel whole and free to live life on her own terms. She comes to therapy seeking a safe, supportive space where she can process her story, gain clarity and learn skills to help her thrive in her daily life-not just survive

I blend somatic and depth psychology with DBT and CBT to help clients reconnect with their authentic self.
I’m an eccentric, depth‑oriented therapist who blends radical honesty with a warm, grounded presence. I work with the unconscious, the body, and the patterns you’ve carried for years—often without realizing it. My approach is deeply trauma‑informed and somatically attuned, helping you understand how your story lives in both mind and body. If you’ve ever felt “too much” or misunderstood, this is a space where your complexity is welcomed and your truth can finally breathe.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. I work with clients to explore the patterns, experiences, and emotions that shape their lives, while creating a space where they can safely express themselves without judgment. People often come to me when they’re feeling stuck — in relationships, in their sense of self, or in old cycles that no longer serve them. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and build practical tools for meaningful change.

Using TIR, ACT, CBT, and somatic tools, I help you understand your patterns, process unresolved experiences and learn to set boundaries without guilt, so you can feel calmer, clearer, and more grounded.
You're the woman everyone relies on. You're capable, composed, and used to holding everything together, while privately carrying anxiety, overwhelm, and the weight of past trauma. Maybe you're bracing for the next crisis, swinging between hyper-functioning and shutting down, putting yourself last, or feeling guilty every time you try to set a boundary. You want relief and clarity, and you want to feel connected to yourself again, but you're unsure how to care for yourself without letting the people you love down. I offer both individual therapy and regular workshops for women ready to make that shift.

You may be the person who shows up for everyone else, keeps things moving, and says the right things, yet when you're alone, a different voice takes over: "You should have handled that better. What's wrong with you?"
For many people, that inner critic has roots. Trauma, people-pleasing, difficult relationships, or experiences where you didn't feel safe or supported can shape how you see yourself long after the original experience. Over time, that pain can show up as depression, anxiety, shame, people-pleasing, or the feeling that you have to hold everything together on your own.

Are past traumas impacting your life? Do you say or do things that you later regret? Do you struggle with identifying and communicating your feelings? Do you have intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, or recurring distressing dreams? Do you drink alcohol or use other substances or gamble or do other self-destructive behaviors that cause self-harm or disrupt your life? Are you a people pleaser? Do you struggle with setting boundaries? Anything that keeps you from living a full life is either built on a lie or a self-defeating memory; what is limiting you? What is keeping you from having the life you want?

Exhausted? Misunderstood? Let’s get your nervous system back on your side.
You’re doing a lot, but it feels like you're running on fumes. Whether it’s the constant 'on-call' feeling of burnout, a relationship that feels like a loop of the same argument, or the exhaustion of navigating the world as an LGBTQIA+ or neurodivergent adult—you’re tired of just 'getting through' the week.
I help people move out of survival mode. We will look at how stress is showing up in your body right now and give you actual tools to turn down the volume on that 'fight-or-flight' feeling.

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.
