The body remembers what the mind forgets.

Unlocking Your Body's Innate Capacity for Healing and Wholeness

Sometimes, words are not enough to capture the depth of our experiences. Stress, anxiety, and trauma can become stored in the body, showing up as chronic tension or a persistent sense of being on edge. Somatic Therapy offers a pathway to healing that honors the body’s wisdom and its innate capacity to heal. At Aligned Life Counseling Center, we believe in a holistic approach where soul care and clinical care meet, and our work is deeply influenced by Somatic Experiencing. We hold space for the complexity of human experience and recognize that true alignment involves tending to the ways our bodies carry our stories.

In Somatic Therapy, we gently guide you to pay attention to your physical sensations with curiosity and without judgment. This process helps to complete self-protective responses that may have been thwarted or frozen during overwhelming events, allowing your nervous system to settle and return to a state of balance. Our therapists are committed to relational, trauma-informed work grounded in compassion and the healing potential of an attuned connection. By integrating the wisdom of the body into the therapeutic process, we can help you heal from suffering, discover your authentic self, and foster a life of greater alignment and connection.
