Somatic Therapists in 05404

If you have made it this far, I commend you for your courage. Seeking support is a huge step! The longer I’ve lived, the more I’ve understood that life brings both joy and pain, success and failure, beginnings and endings, and this duality can often bring dissonance within us, as we work to make meaning of it all. Healing and wellness are deeply personal to everyone’s journey, and I aim to honor your diverse life experiences through this work. On this journey, we’ll create an environment where you can be free to explore who you are, your needs, your values, and the priorities for your life in a safe space.

My practice is rooted in self-compassion, curiosity, and embodied healing. Together, we will work collaboratively to help untangle internalized narratives, discover blocked parts of self, and enhance mind-body awareness to support you in reconnecting with your self-worth, self-trust, body wisdom, and inner creativity. In sessions, I strive to create an empathic and creative space where you can bring all parts of yourself forward. Our time together will involve gaining a deeper understanding of your story, creating holistic goals based on your unique life circumstances, and working towards meaningful change.

My practice is founded on the belief in the fundamental human need for safety and connection. I aim to provide a collaborative and compassionate therapeutic space in which clients can explore reconnecting body and mind to develop an internal sense of safety and connection, to live more authentically and aligned. Through mindfulness and somatic-based practices, I support clients in expanding body awareness and the capacity for self-regulation.

I'm AuDHD, queer, and non-binary and looking to work with folx at the Auti x trans/genderqueer intersection. Many folx at this intersection find it hard to get an "official" diagnosis because DSM criteria is based off of a voyeuristic interpretation of Autism that does not take gender, culture, race, and class into consideration. Autism is a neurotype that looks differently in each person, and genderqueer/trans folx are more likely to be Autistic and be underdiagnosed. I'm here to support you in unmasking, understanding how your brain-body works, how trauma may intersect with your neurodivergence.

My passion comes from helping people move past the losses and traumas of their past and into a rich and full life. Trauma and the losses we experience in life can wound us on every level - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. My desire is to see you pick up the pieces and create a beautiful life beyond the struggle of grief, anxiety, postpartum difficulties, infertility, disordered eating, childhood abuse, and other painful life events. My approach is one of compassion, honesty, and a little bit of sass - to help you rediscover a life of passion, beauty, joy, fulfillment, and empowerment.

Are you feeling uncomfortable in your skin? Struggling to find motivation to do the things you enjoyed before? Feeling confused about your identity or your relationships? Engaging in behaviors you want to stop or don’t understand? I work to support people in exploring solutions to their mental health and recovery challenges and needs. I work with my therapy dog “co-therapists” (non-shedding labradoodles). I have a deep personal commitment to celebrating diversity and working with individuals with unique life experiences and identities. I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ folks (and am Queer/Genderqueer myself).

I aim to co-create the conditions for waking up and realizing the beauty and radiant Life that you already are. In the midst of your current suffering from past traumatic events and/or addictions this may seem like an impossible or distant dream. I am Somatic Psychotherapist and Mindfulness Practitioner. I facilitate mindful awareness of body sensations through to a range of somatic body mind interventions based on the latest knowledge in neurobiology. In accessing your body and mind's innate wisdom you will be able to release the effects of trauma and be free from compulsions and obsessions.

Welcome! I currently have openings for supervisees who are acquiring the necessary hours for state licensure. I also have limited openings for couples' workshops or intensives, or those interested in holistic healing retreats. I help clients with deepening their understanding of themselves and their patterns. I offer guidance and support with relational issues, anxiety, personal transitions, and suppressed creativity & vitality. While working together, we may focus on thought processes, feelings and mindfulness, in order to support positive relationships, emotional health, and increased awareness & empowerment.

UNFORTUNATELY, I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. I work with individuals who desire change in their life and want to experience a greater sense of well being and inner peace. As your therapist, I act as a guide, collaborating and helping you to access the larger sense of who you really are in the world, assisting in the process of deep internal discovery, and ensuring that our time together unfolds at a pace that brings about the change you desire. I create a safe, confidential and respectful environment and support you in your journey to overcome whatever you struggle with, or are challenged by in your life.

FIRST, MY PRACTICE IS CLOSED, AND I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I prefer to be contacted through email (megcat77@gmail.com) or text (802-598-2937). I have been practicing as a psychologist for over 30 years. My Masters degree in Clinical Psychology is from St. Michael's College, and my undergraduate degree is from U.V.M. I also completed a two year post-graduate training program in Behavioral Medicine, which provided me with a specialty in working with clients with chronic medical conditions. I teach coping skills and provide support to clients who are dealing with injuries and illnesses.

I help queer and trans adults struggling with eating disorders and other roadblocks to embodiment, feel safe in their whole dynamic selves. Do you feel that if you were a little more perfect, you would feel belonging, love, or acceptance? That if you only showed up like that or just tried harder, then you would love who you are? Do you crave to feel safe in your own being but are unclear on how to get there? Perhaps you understand how complex you are as a person but notice an uncomfortable resistance when you try and unearth these new parts. I would love to support you in becoming your most authentic self.

Life can be tough and difficulties are unavoidable, but counseling can help strengthen your internal resources so you can navigate stressors more effectively. I work with adults to help them manage stress, ease anxiety & depression, and increase self-awareness. My approach is based in empathy & curiosity, and my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment. At a pace that is comfortable, we’ll work collaboratively to explore and process thoughts & feelings, clarify personal goals, and identify barriers to growth. Together we may explore strengths, practice skills, and identify strategies to facilitate the change you desire.
