As a Somatic Practitioner I incorporate the entire person.
This is not therapy this is an EXPERIENCE. In order to heal, you have to feel. We aren't avoiding the pain any longer. We are experiencing it...in a healing space. Welcome to the Journey.

I utilize a combination of EMDR and integration of Internal Family Systems (IFS)/parts work concepts, as well as DBT and somatic-based therapies to interweave an eclectic mind-body based approach to healing.
Trauma that is unresolved can have many lasting effects on our mind and body. Unresolved trauma can create a separation from our sense of self as well as feelings of disconnection from others. I often see client's that are struggling with the effects of trauma who are having symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic. My approach is person-centered and tailored to each unique person I am working with. I also work at your pace and am skilled in meeting you "where you are at" in your healing journey. If you are seeking something more than traditional talk-therapy, you have found the right place to evolve in your journey.

I have specialized training in trauma, and I utilize a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic work, mindfulness and emotional management.
Welcome, I am Rochelle, and I am glad you have taken some time for yourself, to find a support that can help navigate life. Life can be really hard, maybe even harder right now. More people are struggling with anxiety and depression and to find purpose and meaning. People are struggling in their relationships and to fulfill their roles because they have nothing in their reserves. This is a hard place to be, and this is where partnering with someone can help you move through these difficult times and support you in developing kindness and compassion for yourself, and the understanding and skills that can help make lasting changes.

My goal is to help you get un-stuck. I work with people in their 20s-40s dealing with things like anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, life transitions, and grief. The stress response helps keep us alive, but when we get stuck there we start to feel disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. Not only do I want to help you explore thoughts, gain insight, and empower you to feel confident in your decisions, I want to help your body finally feel safe and grounded. I want to help you find the coping skills to get out of a state of hyperarousal and back into a place of safety and connection.

You might be seeking therapy because your inner pain has spilled out onto your close relationships, physical health, creative endeavors, career, or daily functioning, and it’s become unbearable for you to manage on your own. Maybe you are generally well-functioning, but you have long felt disconnected from life. Healing does not have to stop at mental health symptom management. Therapy can be a place to (re)discover your true self, to free yourself from your past, to help you live a life you desire, or to build your psychological immunity. In the grace of the therapeutic space, you can transform your pain into new life.

I’m Lindsay Repko and I’m a psychotherapist committed to offering you a protected place to effectively explore the depths of who you truly are and what you want for your life, whether your experience of suffering is old or new. This sounds simple, but our modern society can make such a space hard to find, and cultural norms or taboos can pressure us to hide parts of ourselves in shame. When this happens, people often push relationships away that they need and experience pain and isolation.

Accepting new clients! I help people overcome difficulty and use it to grow and pursue a life of meaning and purpose. Sometimes we start by treating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, career, or LGBTQ+ and other identity issues, and over time turn to deeper issues about the life you want to create, your identity, and your values. I’m a humanistic counselor, which means I’ll never tell you what to do and I’ll always empower you to make the choice that’s best for you. I use a collaborative, gentle approach that helps you connect with your intuitive sense of self and your intrinsic motivation to grow and do difficult things.

I am passionate about helping individuals on their path to self-discovery and leading a genuine and authentic life. Drawing upon my background in counseling and neuroscience, I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and existentialism into my approach. I aim to help individuals cultivate openness, awareness, and engagement with themselves, their loved ones, and the world around them. By incorporating meditation, relevant literature, art, and nature, I aim to create a holistic therapeutic experience. These elements enrich the exploration of subjective experiences, self-perception, and the profound aspects of existence.

Hi there! I'm Chelsea - I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist. One thing that I've learned across my practice is that sometimes life circumstances, relationships, past memories/experiences - can make us feel stuck. Stuck in our pasts, stuck in current circumstances, stuck in maladaptive coping skills, and stuck in our bodies or thoughts. My goal as your therapist is to create a collaborative effort where we work to meet your treatment goals together. You don't have to figure everything out on your own - I think it's important for us to normalize that :)

Are you a parent seeing your child go through something but you just don't know how to help? Most days conversations start with your child saying, "I don't know", "I don't care", or "I am the problem", then end in complete disaster. Often you see your child having trouble talking about how they are feeling or what they are thinking, act out of anger or impulsivity, are hard on themselves, have issues in school and with friends, hate transitioning between houses, or have been through really tough times, You find that they just need some sort of outlet for support to help them heal, grow, and release what they are holding on to.

I love to work with motivated clients, no matter how difficult it may be because I realize change is tough. I offer a unique approach for those trying to change patterns of thinking, break cycles of dysfunction and release pent up feelings. I offer faith-based counseling for those requesting it. I work well with those dealing with anxiety, relational issues, and trauma. Many clients seek me out for help with meditation, self discovery, spiritual counseling, health and weight goals, reducing depression and just having a place where they can "figure themselves out."

I really don't have an ideal client as all individuals are different and have unique strengths and weaknesses that are useful to them in some way.. I tend to take a strength based approach and encourage independent problem solving dialogue. I feel very comfortable working with nearly all ages even younger children so long as their parents are actively engaged with treatment. Depression, anxiety, personal relationships, separation and loss, and disrupted adjustments are all within the scope of my work. Now, with telepsychology there are more opportunities to connect with people.

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.
