Somatic Therapists in Lyndhurst, OH

Finding a safe and inviting space can help you endure the distress of beginning an unknown journey towards healing. The right therapy can help you expand your capacity to tolerate discomfort and life's stressors. Together, we can learn to listen to your body's story, sit with difficult emotions and energy that your body has not metabolized. Together, we can reprocess past traumas that have shaped your core negative self beliefs that keep you from reaching your full potential.

I am a strengths-based EMDR therapist with experience in treating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, gender and identity development, relationships and family, and LGBTQ+ issues. I believe that everyone responds differently to therapy and tailor the therapeutic experience uniquely to each of my clients using your values, strengths, and goals. I work primarily with emerging adults, couples, neurodiverse folx, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Does it ever feel like you have not been given the privilege to meet, and know, the best version of yourself? I hope to be your partner in self-exploration and empowerment by identifying, challenging, and shifting some of the cycles that are no longer working for you. I work to create a supportive environment that promotes your healing process through continued curiosity. A poem by Gabi Abrão notes, “As long as “why” exists, everything in this life is suspended in a sacred open-endedness.” You have the ability to know yourself fully and create a life that you love by directly engaging with all of the different parts of yourself.

If you're feeling stuck, anxious, down, or overwhelmed, you're not alone. I work with folks of all ages and genders who are struggling with the challenges of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. Therapy is a safe and sacred space for you to learn to manage difficult emotions, to explore who you are, and to find growth and healing.

Many of the answers we need for healing come from within ourselves. I will work collaboratively with you to identify and remove obstacles that currently hinder you from accessing your inner wisdom and ability to heal.Because no two people are exactly alike there is no one therapy method that can address the needs of every person. To honor your individuality I utilize an integrative approach with emphasis from client-centered, strength based, mindfulness based and somatic methods. I am a level 2 graduate of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I am currently pursuing my certification in Sensorimotor Psychotherpy.

I work with children, adolescents and adults. With children and adolescents, I do individual treatment and family consultation. The issues I work with include developmental concerns and adjustment problems, e.g., socialization, loss, divorce. I reinforce my work with children by strengthening parenting skills. I collaborate with schools as needed. My work with adults and the elderly includes life cycle issues, stress, depression and anxiety.

Have you tried therapy before, but it didn't help? Feeling stuck or unsure of what you need to heal? Using a holistic integrative approach, I can help you find your footing, learn to trust yourself more, and worry less about things outside your control. I specialize in helping adolescents and adults with autism, ADHD, chronic pain/illness, and anxiety disorders learn to work with their brain and body to live their most authentic and joyful lives. I also enjoy helping couples and families of all kinds (poly, blended, foster/adoptive, etc.) learn how to build relationships based on respect, empathy, and curiosity.

Grounded in the belief that experiences and events we have endured do not have to define the person we become. These experiences are part of our story but can only limit us if we allow. We'll explore your past experiences, patterns and processes to determine how it is effecting your current life, and co-create a path as you envision what is next .

So many of us have had to disconnect from ourselves to survive in some way, often due difficult experiences that overwhelmed our capacity to cope. As a result, you may be finding that the way you relate to yourself is negatively impacting how you show up in your life and relationships. Perhaps you find yourself engaging in patterns that are harming you despite efforts to stop—leaving you feeling stuck, alone, or even broken. I'm here to help you find new ways of relating to yourself and equip you with tools for coping more effectively. Whatever it is that brings you to therapy, we will work together to find healing.

Hi, I'm Connie. For years I specialized in trauma treatment and I've come to believe that just healing trauma isn't enough...you deserve more. The approach I use is twofold: Together we will gently unwind the trauma that causes you pain, while also connecting with the intuition and intelligence of the body. As trauma heals, there is more room for aliveness, freedom, and a sense of purpose that naturally help you move to the life you long for.

Are you looking to live a more authentic life? I work gently but powerfully with individuals, couples and families to rediscover and co-create a future that is rich with possibility and promise. If you have felt burdened and overwhelmed by your history and related trauma, I invite you to work with me to re-story your life and uncover the richness, vibrancy and dynamism that is unique to you and that will enable you to regain access to your full sense of personal empowerment and integration on all levels. I am honored to share this sacred journey with you.

I believe anyone brave enough to seek out therapy is motivated to make a change in how they cope, lead, experience, and take charge of all that life throws at them. As a mental health counselor, I am here to walk with and encourage you as you empower yourself to continue to live a life of meaning and purpose. I will help you identify and work with your strengths, values, and goals, no matter what baggage and background seems to weigh you down.

Are you concerned about your -- or your child/teen's anxiety/sadness, anger/emotionality, or attention/learning? Are there social issues and/or feelings of failure? My intention is to support those who seek to understand the true cause(s) of their issues and treat them, rather than rely on pills only.

Surviving life is existing. Thriving is living. Freedom is a incremental process. Counseling creates space for incremental freedom. I prefer a three prong approach, where meaning of a thing/event, visceral body/emotional experiences and historical messages are explored in current behaviors, thoughts and feelings. In this process, you will be able to manage the unknown standing firm, having confidence despite uncertainty.
