Somatic Therapists in Cleona, PA

Are you living with the painful consequences of bad decisions and want more joy, ease, and fulfillment? Do you want to stop fighting and start cooperating, connecting, and communicating in your relationships? Maybe you feel frozen, on an emotional rollercoaster, or both depending on the day. Do you want to experience your emotions as supporting your richer more satisfying life? Are you feeling lonely and isolated, like no one gets you or even wants to? Would you like more mutually loving relationships where you are seen, heard, and treated with respect? Are you looking for an LGBTQ ally?

Hello. I offer both online and in person sessions. Welcome to your journey towards healing. In my practice we look to understand. There is no judgment. You cannot get there before you get there or know something before you know it. We focus on releasing the dysregulation we carry so there is more room for joy. My process is to teach people about their nervous system, how and why we become dysregulated, for example anxious or depressed, and offer ways to self-regulate and release the dysregulation through EMDR, Somatic Experiencing and other supporting approaches.

Hello! My name is Jodi Fox. I am the owner and therapist at Kintsugi Counseling. Maybe you’re wondering - “What is Kintsugi?” Kintsugi (kint-sue-gee) is a Japanese art form used to repair broken pottery with gold or other precious metals. Restored pieces are viewed as beautiful and valuable in their own right, despite the imperfections caused by the break. I believe that going to therapy is a lot like the process of Kintsugi. No matter what has happened in the past or what you are experiencing now, change is possible and healing can lead to the discovery of unexpected strength and beauty.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of complex trauma and PTSD. I believe in creating a relatable and safe space to work through the toughest parts of our past. While some trauma is overt, such as PTSD, other traumas can be hidden behind depression or anxiety. Emotional traumas can even arise from being raised by parents or guardians with personality disorders. I have over 10 years of experience using EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic interventions to address various forms of trauma.

The decision to seek therapy is unique and personal to each one of us. Whether you're seeking help for a specific life event or looking to understand ongoing struggles, I'm here to offer a supportive and a judgment-free space for you to show up, just as you are, as you begin your process of personal healing and growth. I work with clients with a wide array of issues including depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, and those struggling with substance abuse. We will work together to understand how personal experiences have shaped your present-day reality, including beliefs about yourself and how you engage in the world.

Therapy is one avenue to building a life that is more authentic, connected, and filled with meaning. My goal as a therapist is to co-create a space that is warm and safe where you can approach issues from a strengths-based lens, and where curiosity and creativity can flourish. As a therapist, I value my unique relationship with each client, and I am deeply grateful to be able to witness growth, meaning-making, and changes that positively impact a client’s life. Therapy is a unique, personal, and specific journey, and I am humbled and eager to be on that journey with each individual client with whom I work.

You who are highly sensitive and feel a lot, welcome! You'll explore more deeply with me than in traditional talk therapy. You’ve likely tried psychotherapy before but have noticed that the work has either gone nowhere or taken you only so far, or you felt misunderstood. With an uncanny and intuitive ability to really “get” people from many walks of life, I will invite you to go beneath your thoughts, connect with your body and emotions, and gently access the root of your emotional discomfort and hurts to facilitate noticeable shifts with each session.

My ideal client aims to engage in an active partnership to build self-awareness and take action to make a change. I will give you feedback and challenge you, which is not everyone’s cup of tea! I work best with those suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, overwhelm, trauma, or emotional flooding. Many of my clients report that our work helped them shift from survival mode to a sense of thriving. I suggest homework; your progress is based on your willingness to practice. The ideal client for my strengths is someone who wants to learn and shift by discovering tangible skills and techniques they can use in their own lives.

Here’s what you can expect if we work together: We'll create a treatment plan that prioritizes growth and healing at a pace that is manageable for you and your nervous system. We will work to build a relationship that feels nourishing and where your needs are actually being met. This creates sustainable results and builds safety and connection. We’ll implement tools for you that provide relief in the day to day as well as the long term. We’ll start where you’re at, and I’ll never push you to talk about something you’re not ready to talk about. Safety is the priority when we're working together.

As an inclusive clinician, I have connected with hundreds of clients to help them focus on their most important goals. A common goal for all individuals is to be happy and increase their well-being. I use hands-on activities incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, somatic experiencing, expressive arts, and Brainspotting. I love counseling and incorporating mind-body interventions to assist clients in rediscovering strengths and aligning their minds, body, and energy.

Are you looking for someone who fosters a safe space while you embark on your healing journey? Taking the step towards healing is not an easy decision to make, and I am so glad you are taking it.

Therapy can be such an overwhelming process to get started with, especially when you may also be struggling with ADHD, trauma symptoms, or anxiety that make everyday tasks feel monumental. For marginalized people in particular, feeling safe and truly seen by their therapist may be particularly challenging. As a Black, queer, neurodivergent therapist with 10 years experience, my approach is relational, strengths-based, person-centered, affirming, and anti-oppressive. Together we'll implement accessible, functional strategies to help you close the gap between the life you're living and the life you envision for yourself.

Grief, trauma, insecurities, anxiety and depression do not discriminate. You are not alone. If you find it difficult to move beyond it and you feel stuck, this is normal. Our body keeps score and remembers. This is why I integrate techniques that connect the mind and body. It is important to release stored up tension and stress, as well as addressing our core beliefs about our experiences. While creating coping mechanisms is important I will also help you discover root causes and address obstacles in a holistic manner.

**My caseload is currently full** As a senior clinician, I am dedicated to helping you through a gentle and caring approach. I treat depression, anxiety, and other conditions which may arise from job, relationship, family, or loss of a loved one. If you are suffering more acutely, say with panic or trauma, I rely on my specialty Internal Family Systems, which provides blessed relief. Trauma can result from even a car accident or a hospital procedure. Trauma can cause eating disorders, drug addiction, gambling, OCD, panic, and more. Even failed relationships can be a result of trauma. All these can be treated successfully.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in Mindfulness and Acceptance-Based psychotherapies, Neurofeedback, Biofeedback, Clinical Hypnosis, Anxiety and Trauma Disorders and Somatic and Experiential therapies.

I see therapy as a holistic endeavor. When it comes to creating change, I believe in the importance of our bodies, not just our heads, in the healing process. So many of us have no issues with thinking. We can clearly analyze, and maybe even feel like we overanalyze, our struggles but still feel disconnected from ourselves, our relationships, the world around us. We are much more than our thoughts and I find therapy to be more effective when our full human experience- physical, emotional, spiritual- is also given focus.

Are you longing to (re)connect with your inner bright light and realize your own innate ability to heal? Feeling disconnected from your body, your spiritual practices, and your intuitive Self? You may be exploring your identity, struggling to move forward from the past, or are looking for different ways to cope. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with mood dysregulation , depression/anxiety, personality disorders, trauma, and those who want to see themselves in a more empowering light. You are more than your trauma- I help my clients unlock who they truly are and rewrite their own narratives.
